OLED Display Use Case

Laser Rangefinders
"I want to know the exact distance to the green..."
A laser rangefinder helps users check distance information in golf scenes.
This page introduces an OLED display use case for laser rangefinder viewfinders, improving the visibility of distance information.
  • Golf course scene where distance information is important for club selection

    Golf Distance Checks

    When taking the second shot after the tee shot, golfers need to decide which club to use next.

    In this situation, the remaining distance is one of the most important pieces of information.

    A laser rangefinder is especially useful on an unfamiliar golf course.

  • Golf ball and club on grass for distance checking before a shot

    LCD and Transparent OLED

    When users look through the viewfinder of a laser rangefinder, a monochrome Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is commonly used.

    A transparent OLED display, however, makes it possible to display information in color.

Clear OLED Distance Display

  • Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)

    LCD text in the viewfinder is displayed in black.

    In a landscape like the photo above, the displayed information can blend into the background, making it difficult to recognize the exact distance.

  • OLED Display

    Multicolor OLED displays are easier to read than monochrome LCD text.

    SOAR OLED displays produce multicolor images without using an RGB color filter by using deposition technology. With its optical design expertise, SOAR can also make wiring patterns and non-emitting segments less visible.

    A clear display within the viewfinder makes the device easier and less stressful to use.
