Oled

Saw this article in PC World..

Panasonic is moving toward commercialization of OLED (organic light-emitting diode) panels and plans to put TVs with 37-inch OLED screens on sale in the next three years, according to a Japanese newspaper report.

...

Howard Stringer, chairman and CEO of Sony, recently said his company plans to put a 27-inch OLED TV on sale sometime in the next year. Toshiba has also said it plans to launch a 30-inch-class OLED set but hasn't provided details.

Mightily excited so many companies are finally putting OLED into production... Not sure if these new panels are ED, HD or QuadHD, or if pixel count is really a factor at all... If these companies can make large panels with the same IQ as Sony XEL-1, they'd have a winner. At least I think so.. Hopefully they can do it in the 1st generation...

If you think Plasma and LCDs is as good as it gets, maybe OLED will change your mind next year....

Now where is SED and laserTV?

PS: Sorry if this appeared else where, search isn't working....

Update: laser RPTV coming Q3 2008.. Not sure when it will hit oz shores.

OLED is truly sweet. The 26" will probably be 1366x768 to save on price, and because it's so small. I also want to see OLED in computer monitors (a 22" 1920x1200 model would be nice), laptops (Samsung has shown images of a concept laptop with a 12.1" 1280x768 screen), and of course portable devices (here's hoping the next generations of portable DVD players, portable gaming consoles and media devices such as the iPhone use OLED). The thinness opens up a lot of opportunities for innovation - for example, rather than having a 3mm-thick TV that has to sit on a base to allow for connection inputs, fatten it out to have a thickness more like an LCD or plasma so that the connection inputs can be placed, then use the extra space for something like a built-in DVD/Blu-ray player or games console (hehe, imagine a Sony 40" 1080p OLED with a built-in PS3 ), or perhaps to lessen the required miniaturisation of certain components to lower the cost. Great things are coming...

Plasma has more picture cons than CRT and LCD has more than Plasma.

Ill bet $10 oled is buzzy, burns in, has clouds, no uniformity, lag, blur, smear, 2 degree viewng angle ... and the organic matter will catch colds and go on the blink for weeks at a time.

There are many possibilities indeed... Not sure which can be realised, but I hope when they are available publicly, their price will drop down soon, and not limited for the uber rich.. Hope this tech will scale up well...

If you want to bet on unsubstantiated cons, why not bet your life on it??
