But do you want your OLED?

Samsung showing a prototype OLED display.

40", a resolution of 1280x800 (WXGA), a contrast ratio of 5000:1 and a very limited thickness

About an inch, from the second picture, unless she's referring to . . . oh never mind, I'll leave the obvious joke alone.

Well, you know they like slender and small in APAC; not a lot of extra space. I wonder what the lifetim is on the material- that's been the problem with OLEDs. No backlighting is nice, at least no nasty inorganics to dispose of (a problem with LED screens).

I bet they DON'T have the power supply built into that one, which is the trend for current big LCD's and plasmas (folks don't like power bricks, but making a 1" thick poqwer supply isn't trivial).


"Limited Thickness" that's like some of the English German that our folks back in HQ come up with. They need a native speaker for the press releases...

Yeah it would be good to know if they've solved the lifespan issues.... Otherwise I don't care which, but either this or SED better get here PDQ darnit!
