3mm OLED displays from Sony
I’m pretty sure many of you own a mp3 player with OLED display. Nah, if you have your beloved iPod, you don’t have OLED display, you must use some alternate products. These displays are pretty cool - extremely clear, well visible on the direct sunlight and really economical for your batteries. Well, you couldn’t see such a display somewhere else than in small gadgets, but technology moves forward again: Sony just introduced brand new 3mm thin OLED displays which can display up to 1024×768 pixels. And I’m sure this resolution will increase pretty soon as well.
The other nice thing about OLED is that you can achieve some incredible specs, like a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. Compare that to something like 2000:1 in current best LCD displays. The only bad thing is that this is still a sound of distant future - there are only few prototypes and they would be extremely expensive on the market. But DVD burners cost thousands too and we all know how cheap they are now…
Quite nice News,
does someone know which spectrum of colours is provided by this damn nice gadjet?
thx + greetz

i am afraid no more details are available now, there are only some information about it in Japanese - http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/av/docs/20070411/display1.htm
That standard is U-G-L-Y
Sweeeet
Hopefully they’re be here before the years out
OLED displays are definitely the way to go. Fantastic contrast resolutions and 8-Bit RBG that covers more than 100% of the NTSC colour gamut. OLED is also self illuminating which means you don’t need a back light, hence the thinness of the screens; no back light means low power consumption. OLED is better at displaying fast moving images than any other flat panel system on the market.
There is a downside though. The 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio will slowly loose it’s brightness over time, dropping to 500,00:1 or less. But, that is still a hell of a lot better then LCD or Plasma.
This is the sort of thing we see in films and will be the norm in shops in 5 years
LG has a 22″ LCD that has 3000:1
This is old news
Try looking up “Dupont” on google and reading up on “PLED” and “PHOLED” and while you are at it check “E Ink” for flexible paperthin displays - technology is already used in a bunch of products… If you own stock in the paperindustry - SELL SELL SELL. =)
If you are still interested in more you should read about “polymere transistors” that are transparent… just think of the possabilities.
In case you are wondering - I’m doing some market research in conjunction with displaytech…
Lol this one is good: http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/av/docs/20070411/dis1_27.jpg
THIS IS SICK! I wanna get sum ov taht|
Another step forward in technology but looks like it would snap if i threw a tennis ball at it.
They have still not perfected the art of keeping these alive long enough to make them give enough of value for money spent.
I like it. Love the standard too, very much design. Would look good on my desk for sure.
I would check out Universal Display’s, there work on AMOLED’s shows real promise once they create a longer lasting molecule for the blue and green colors. If you check around on other sites this first generation OLED screen was made at 24″ on the diagonal, and was the first display of it’s size to support 1080p standard, which is huge. This future display technology is set for full production as early as 2008, so keep watching.
just say no to $ony (aka Fagy).
any member of the RIAA AND MPAA can go and $uck itself.
and take your fagstation with you.
Sexy, These will probably be where LCD’s are today in 5 years or so, once the burn out issue is fixed. I can see this motivating the GPU industry to move forward with far more denser poly / shader /aliasing tricks as well. I hope it eventually pushes the LCD market down into the basement where CRT prices are now. Even today, a decent dual monitor system is much cheaper if you go the CRT route then LCD (providing you have the desk space).
MG:
No it doesnt, it has 1000:1 real contrast, rest is software
based calculations that differensiate dynamicly when the
image get darker to compensate.
I use one at work, cant say its any better than a normal 1k:1 monitor.
Tho its pretty cheap, and not awfully looking.
Other LCD monitors have the same thing.
Anywho, this screen tho looks sweet
gief plx.
