MMMMMmmmmmmm....40" OLED....

[sourcery]

So, when will Samsung get the oLED out?

[SoDak]

Damn, thats a full 11" larger than mine.

[dynachrome]

Dear Santa: send me one of each.

[George Stupidnopolis]

Just what we need, a six foot Howard Dean in the living room. I'm swaring off TV

[Pete'sWife]

I clicked on the link.

I give up.

What's an "OLED" TV?

I clicked on the highlighted text. Got advertisements.

Looks like the CD replacement is here and it's called the Blu Ray.

Hmmmm.

[Normal4me]

When they get below $200 ping me.

[cgk]

PING!

I sure hope a typhoon never hits Korea, or else hungry survivors will carry away all the OLED TVs to feed their families.

[clintonh8r]

Of course. Just when I'd made up my mind to get the new Sony V Series 40" LED....

[Mr Ramsbotham]

I can't wait for the next major hurricane disaster, so I can get one.

Short for organic light-emitting diode, a display device that sandwiches carbon-based films between two charged electrodes, one a metallic cathode and one a transparent anode, usually being glass. The organic films consist of a hole-injection layer, a hole-transport layer, an emissive layer and an electron-transport layer. When voltage is applied to the OLED cell, the injected positive and negative charges recombine in the emissive layer and create electro luminescent light. Unlike LCDs, which require backlighting, OLED displays are emissive devices - they emit light rather than modulate transmitted or reflected light.

OLED technology was invented by Eastman Kodak in the early 1980s. It is beginning to replace LCD technology in handheld devices such as PDAs and cellular phones because the technology is brighter, thinner, faster and lighter than LCDs, use less power, offer higher contrast and are cheaper to manufacture.

so do I skip upgrading from a big CRT monitor to an LCD monitor, and just wait for OLED monitors???

They're going to make TVs out of OLEO?? Wow! Think how the dairy market will benefit!
See what happens when you only read the headline? :)

I remember my collegues in Lubbock working on this technology years ago. I retired from TI at the end of 1995

The Weirdest Technology Ever Invented

" At the heart of every DLP™ projection system is an optical semiconductor known as the Digital Micromirror Device, or DLP™ chip, which was invented by Dr. Larry Hornbeck of Texas Instruments in 1987".

The DLP™ chip is probably the world's most sophisticated light switch. It contains a rectangular array of up to 2 million hinge-mounted microscopic mirrors; each of these micromirrors measures less than one-fifth the width of a human hair. "

"When a DLP™ chip is coordinated with a digital video or graphic signal, a light source, and a projection lens, its mirrors can reflect an all-digital image onto a screen or other surface. The DLP™ chip and the sophisticated electronics that surround it are what we call Digital Light Processing™ technology."

I wonder how much of that technology I can enjoy since I
watch so few TV shows, or movies, or concerts. Is it
really worth it???
Like the earlier poster said, ping me when its under $200.

OLED was invented by Kodak and licensed out to others.
