Where Are All of the OLED Products?

Posted by Cliff on from the adopting-new-tech dept.

ttennebkram asks: "OLED's are the cool technology behind the new displays that will be bright, thin, and energy efficient. I bought my Motorola Timeport back in 2001 and LOVE it. Lots more products were supposed to be on the market by now. I was disapointed that the new Handspring Treo's don't use it, instead opting for the old fashioned color LCD's. Searches on Google return the hype from 2 years ago, but very little recent info. Any word on upcoming handhelds or cellphones using this technology? Thanks."

    I love the OLED on my timeport, im in the process of ordering several OLEDs for modding my computers at home. Nothing like an MP3 control panel / syslog / nice graphing doohickey on the front of the computer.

    Well apparently they're still trying to figure out how to make them reliably. It does seem odd, though, that they already say they are cheaper and quicker to make than LCD's which implies that they know how to do it cheaper and quicker already.. so where's the problem?

    They sound as though they would pretty much make LCD's, as well as plasma displays, CRTs, and just about every display technology you can think of completely and utterly obselete, which makes you wonder if maybe they are purposely lagging on introducing the technology...
