Teridian display suits car audio, nav systems

Teridian Corp. has released what it claims is the industry's first color-filter type RGB 16-gray scale display that is suitable for use in car audio and navigation systems, PDAs, game devices, and measuring equipment.
According to company spokesman Nobuyuki Koike, the development of white luminous organic EL elements with high brightness and long product life has made the display of 4,096 colors possible.

Since the organic EL display uses a color filter format, the 100cd/m2 brightness of each RGB color is uniform and has accurate color registration. Operating between the -20°C to 85°C temperature range, the screen area measures 79-by-20mm with a 10,000h lifespan.
