OLED TVs. flabberghasting.

Right, so you've got LEDs. they're nifty, using some aluminium-arsenic-gallium-crystal to make light. they're about 5mm wide...

you get the point. making TVs out of them is a bit pointless unless its going to be very far away. right?

Wrong. Dead wrong.

OLEDs are like LEDs but made out of some organic-plant-stuff. they're so small that they can be printed with a special inkjet printer (which alone it nifty) but the point of this thread is this:

Sonys 11" OLED television.

i mean, ouch. thats thin.

Thats cool, hows the responce time on those microbes :eek:

He looks like "Little Fatty"

3mm thick, 1million:1 contrast etc etc.

Hmm, how long does it take to grow a petri dish?

These will be awesome in laptops I bet

couple these with solid state hard drives

have yourself a bona fide start trek terminal

almost, now all we need is wireless power

That's incredible, any links to further info?

no data, but they say that they're good for fast moving images, so i'd say at least 30ms

<edit> from Sonys website :

Response time: ~0.01ms

:eek:

Wow

I can't wait until we're all on screens like that.

It says that they suffer from very short lifespans at the moment but I'm sure that can only improve?

Aod · 13 Apr 2007 at 00:55

they sorta do, and they sorta don't. as you know, White light = Red + Blue + Green.

the problem is that the Organic compound that gives off the blue light only lasts about 1000 Hours except for the very very very expensive grade stuff.

the Red and the Green last for 100,000+ hours

WotDa · 13 Apr 2007 at 00:56

That would last some people around 1.5-2 months.

Aod · 13 Apr 2007 at 01:01

i'm sure that the HPTg production models will be made usig compounds that give for at least 10,000 hours (speculation) otherwise they wouldn't be able to sell them.

HPTg = High|Price|Tag

Anyway, 0.01ms response time!

OLEDs have been the buzz word for at least a year now, still waiting for fresh and promising proofs of the technology even now.

Nice.

Just think, electronic paper

Cupra · 13 Apr 2007 at 02:07

development on new things like this is always slow due to the money in research... once there is 1 company with a good one all the companys will have them
