Re: n00b looking for a 1"+ monochrome display that

Yes, the brightness of these is good, BUT the size is too small.
The diagonals are .61", which is about 1/2 the size we need, or
1/4 the area we need, and thus, with perfect optics, would yield
600/4 or only 150cd/m2 for the image size we need.

Do you have an OLED array that is at least 1" diagonal ?
