Is it wise to wait for LED?

[okcpu]

Just read up on it and it seems to be the same LCD technology but LED is just a different form of a backlight. Ah well, i was hoping it was a completely different display device, guess i am getting to impatient waiting for the next big display device

LED?
Ii've read nothing about it. Any links?

Hmm... could it be the same as LCD, just very economical like Car Backlights?

I think he means OLED.

I thought he was speaking of LED backlights, which can give a very uniform backlighting and high brightness. In some of the developing HDR sets the LEDs are even turned fully off for blacker blacks.

I think he means OLED.

That, or SED.

OLED - Organic Light Emitting Diode
Kodak had a considerable hand in its development.
Has an emissive layer of an organic compound.

Compared to current flat panels:
Cheaper to make
Very thin - 30% of thickness
1,000 times faster response times
CRT like black levels
Requires 25-30% less power
Potential to be flexible – hence able to roll like a drop-down screen.


SED - Surface conductor Electron emission Display
Developed by Canon and Toshiba, works on a similar principle to CRT but with each phosphor pixel having its own tiny gun.

Compared to current flat panels:
Very thin
Very fast response times
CRT like black levels
Requires 30-50% less power.
