Virtual Reality fans will be getting new ways to control gadgets like the new Oculus Rift headphones. EverDisplay Optronics launched the world's first 6-inch 4K AMOLED display.

"Visually a person immerses himself into a faux real surrounding by means of VR devices. To do so, it requires exponentially higher PPI in display, far beyond what current market offers. Using today's UHD (4K) display turn-on as a launch pad, EDO is determined to enter the VR market." says Dr. David Chu, EDO's CEO.

Virtual Reality is recognized as a new application with great potential, with leading products from Korea, Japan and the US all featuring AMOLED displays. More than perfect color, AMOLED displays offer low latency, real darkness with superb contrast ratio and minimal hazardous high-energy blue ray. All these hit the bullseye of desirable features by VR devices. As the VR market grows, so should AMOLED.

4K TV is commonplace in the consumer market. It can replicate the same resolution consumers get from Oculus Rift products onto a mere 6-inch panel, a huge PPI hike up to 734, presented a formidable, hundred-fold scale challenge in terms of both design and process.

The successful turning-on of the 6-inch 4K AMOLED panel has opened up wider possibilities for newer applications, such as virtual reality (VR), and today the sample achieved yet another milestone in demonstrating its capability and commitment in the field.

Smartphone displays demand super high resolution, but a host of new applications would definitely use much more pixel packed displays.

EDO was built from day one to focus on AMOLED display in small and medium size applications. As a new player, EDO has been consistently raising the bar not only to challenge itself, but also quickly catch up on the industry, first with HD resolution from last March to FHD, then WQHD (2.5K) and UHD (4K) today, all done in less than 18 months. With its 6-inch 4K display, EDO has projected itself to the forefront of first tier in the industry.

EDO spares no effort when it comes to working on AMOLED leading edge technology development and strives to bring excellent products to enable new applications and enhance old ones.

EverDisplay Optronics was established in 2012 in Shanghai as a new player pioneering AMOLED manufacturing technology in the Greater China region. The company has since grown remarkably from merely a plot of barren farmland on the outskirts of Shanghai to achieve full production capacity within the space of two years.
