I came across this article on bit-tech.net.

www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2005/10/04/brightside_hdr_edr/10.html

bit-tech seem to suggest that High Dynamic Range panels (HDR) will be economically available in 12-18 month's time. They seem to suggest that these HDR panels will have a great dynamic range, astounding luminance, and awesome contrast ratios.

bit-tech seem to suggest that these near-future HDR-panel-based models will be groundbreaking, and will blow the competition away - SED, OLED, and maxed-out 'traditional' LCDs included!

Is this particular future, bright, or some kind of a hyped-up dead-end?

:)
 
This is for comercial use and the technology still relies on LCD panels meaning the drawback of LCD's are carried along with it. The thoery is great on paper however the implementation is expensive, cumbersome and unreliable. For computer monitor use they would need LED's at the pixel level, so 2.2M leds for a 1920x1200 resolution display, does this sound feasable? As for economically available buy the time that happens SED will off appeared with lower power, thiner profile, <<1ms response time, 10k-->100K:1 contrast ratios's and full viewing angles.

OLED is something completly different and was designed for small displays so its market is watch's, mobiles, PDA's, MP3 players etc...

in what was is it cumbersome and reliable? isn't all technology expensive initially?
monitors are probably not a useful application of this i agree. Although i don;t think they would need anywhere near a 1:1 pixel:led ratio i do think they would need more in a smaller space than on a TV for it to be effective.

SED has been plagued with delay after delay so clearly there are serious problems with making the technology viable and cost effective.

OLED is getting much better as the technology matures and it will certainly be avaiable for large screens. Things like billboards and advertising are one area which it could push in to once they get round some problems. One of which is the blue (iirc) pixels life span with which some breakthroughs have been made already. It is certainly not going to be used for just small screens and that was never the intention. Just currently it is the only viable application for it.
 
OLED unfortunetly has the same response time issue as LCD's, yes SED may be delayed however it fixes all the issues that everything else has. No other display technology will be able to match and exceed CRT.

Thanks kleox64 for the interesting info.

I will look into the capabilities of SEDs.

However, whether or not SEDs are the future, it seems from what I can gather that the 'perfect' blow-yer-socks-off monitor is not so very far away!

I'd be interested in your thoughts...Is the 'perfect display' just around the corner? Or, not?

:cool:

Can I ? ... jump the queue, sorry kleox64 ;) I would like to ask what is the definition of the perfect display ?

Yes, they are *maybe* just around the corner, but not for us mortals and our mortal wallets ... at least for now. Other question is how they will affect us ? and if next-to-be LCD display technology shifts are really pants shaking ? For example, I look now at my screen and I'm really starting to wonder where is that missing spark which could possibly satisfy my demanding eye even more. Really have hard time to figure it now. Are we demanding too much ?

where did you get that information from?
OLED has no response time issues. The response times for OLED are in the < 0.01 milisecond range.
You really need to read up on things before you state things about them.

what about burn in? thats certainly one draw back. unless ofcourse they have found a way to overcome this.

As for other display technologies... SED is one and OLED certainly is but what about NED that is in development at Motorola? It looks very promising.
 
Sony is releasing a 24" OLED in the next couple of months, they commented on the response time being comparable to LCD and acceptable for video.

my apologies.
just had a look at they have indeed quoted response times on 12-16ms which is very odd as most other OLED panels have quoted response times of well under 1ms.
Maybe there are issues with the larger screens then...
