How to fit the display brightness to the ambient brightness? Mainly it depends on the display technology - all in all, not every solution is a source of light, so not every solution is specified with the “brightness” parameter.

In one of the previous articles in Uni’s ABC series, we have discussed the crucial parameters of LCDs, pointing out, e.g., resolution, brightness, contrast ratio, or viewing angles, which impact the readability of the presented content. In some applications, there is also another worth noticing factor, that is, the LED’s durability.

USECs and USEMs are two display solutions based on E Ink's EPDs developed by the Unisystem's team. They can also be used by companies that do not have appropriate resources, both human and equipment.

The abbreviation OLED may be associated with TVs showcased in the electronics shops. We colloquially call them just “OLEDs.” This term derives from “organic light-emitting diode,” which is essential to provide OLED TVs (or broadly speaking – to OLED displays). This article presents OLED technology, one of the youngest display technologies available on the market.
