Pre-CES: OLED and LEDs to make big splash

Shogun · 31st December 2007, 19:07

TV manufacturers have to find some way to shave profits from ever-more-commoditized products, and one of the best ways is to introduce a whole new technology. OLED is one of those new techs, promising super-thin housing (is 5 inches too thick?), super-high contrast ratios, and correspondingly "super" profits. Expect medium screen sizes and very high prices for the first generation due to hit the market soon.

The OLED and LCD business is becoming increasingly competitive, and Samsung hopes to grab some headlines with its 31-inch active matrix OLED announcement during the show. The 4.3 mm display supposedly uses about half the power consume by a typical LCD screen that many of us use in our offices and at home.

Even though OLED prices probably won't drop enough in the next five years to really matter, OLED technology is clearly where we're headed over the next few years -- in fact, Sony announced it is halting its rear-projection TV product and is looking forward to OLED later down the road.

OLEDs have to be one of the things I am looking forward to most from the show next year!

the 0 dead pixel warranty year would be something that is needed as well...
