OLED (Organic light-emitting diode), is a display technology using man-made, carbon-based molecules that emit light when charged with electricity. What seperates the OLED from the LCD or Plasma, are the components that produce the picture on the screen. The prototypes of an OLED are as thin as a credit card because the pixels are able to produce their own light with nothing behind the screen. With LCD's you need either a fluorescent or LED lamp to illuminate the pixels, and Plasma's need compartments of electrically charged gas. OLED's are all around better than the existing LCD's and Plasma's but will come at a higher cost. The release date is set for 2012.
Wow that is some really cool new technology. I definitely want to get my hands on one of those tv's when they get released!
ReplyDeleteFunny thing was that i was just explaining this technology to my mom, when she asked about this class and here i log on and find it on one of the blogs. I believe this will be an upgrade to the flat screen TVs but I am curious of the stability of the structure. Overall another great achievement to entertainment.
ReplyDeleteOLed?? i have never heard of this type of television technology but just as plasma has become the newest thing, innovations are already trampling over this growing technology. I will be excited so see how clear this picture will be. It will be a great step into advancing virtual reality applications
