Cameras for enthusiasts are increasingly using OLED panels. OLED was the most discussed technology at CES 2012, the biggest electronics expo in the world.
You’ve definitely heard of OLEDs, which are transparent, flexible displays with vibrant colours and high power efficiency. Higher-end cameras like the Samsung NX200 are increasingly featuring OLED panels and microdisplays.
Organic Light Emitting Diodes, also known as OLEDs, are small, light-emitting electronics that are created by sandwiching a number of organic thin sheets between two conductors.
An intense light is released when electrical current is supplied. OLEDs can be utilised to create displays and white lighting panels since they are thin, effective, and bright.
OLED displays don’t need a backlight, in contrast to LCD displays. Each “pixel” of an OLED display is a tiny light emitting diode (or, more commonly, three: red, blue and green).
Because there is no need for backlighting, filters, or polarizers, an OLED’s basic structure is straightforward, making OLEDs incredibly small and light.
The features that photographers are most likely to value are OLED screens’ major benefits. First off, compared to an LCD panel, the colour gamut is larger, allowing for a more accurate representation of the colours in your photographs.
The global OLED Viewfinder market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
For use as an electronic viewfinder, Sony has announced an OLED panel with increased speed and resolution. If you don’t still think of computer monitors from the 1980s, the “UXGA” panel has a resolution of 1600 × 1200 pixels (5.76M dots).
Compared to panels found in cameras like the Sony a7R III and Panasonic GH5, this is an improvement in both directions. The panel still consumes the same amount of electricity, according to Sony, despite the boost in resolution.
The panel can be run progressive (where one row is displayed after another), at 120 frames per second, or in a dual-line progressive mode, which we anticipate will decrease the vertical resolution in exchange for a 240 frames per second mode to give a more realistic preview.
Unusual for Sony, the sample price for the panel is about $460. This price, however, gives an indication of the costs associated with integrating a high-resolution viewfinder into a camera and explains why the a7 III lacks the 3.69M-dot display found in the more expensive a7R III.
They anticipate that this price will decline once production picks up, particularly for orders of tens or hundreds of thousands of panels.
