crwulff writes "The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle today is carrying a story about Kodak's newest OLED display venture. Unfortunately only a prototype to look at here but at least it is on the way in a couple years." It's worth it just for the photograph. Maybe best to hold off on a plasma TV ...
Except that I rushed out to buy this fancy LCD flatscreen, so my rendering of the "brighter and more colorful display" is limited by my darker, lower-saturation display.

I won't be happy until my 24 fps video t-shirt can go through wash and tumble dry with all the colors as bright as the day it was new. Hurry up guys!

This is the final peice of the puzzle. We have ultra fast 3D graphics pumping machines. We have broadband to the home. And now, finally, I have a picutre that will be truelly life like. Porn will never be the same again!
I predict the de-evolution of the human species in the next one hundered years due to this product as the smart people refuse to leave their homes and breed. The top inteligencia will die off and leave only the sub-humans behind. Repeat and Rinse until we decide to head back into the trees again.

Perhaps YOU dont worry about it. But you'll be sorry once the yoghurt gets you.

"The prototype still has issues"
I just have to know: what kind of issues, exactly? A drug habit? Separation anxiety from its safe lab environment? Inappropriate attachement to the department head? Inability to form a close interpersonal relationship with its users? Inquiring minds want to know.

Typically, nobody here on Slashdot has the slightest trace of awareness of the ethical implications of the technology they so blithely drool over.
Imagine being pent up in a microscopic prison cell for your life, bombarded incessantly with radiation until you glow in the dark. Imagine thirty thousand chest X-rays every day of your life. That's what these innocent, mindless little creatures are being exposed to. That's the gruesome reality of the brutal and ruthless experimental regime at the Kodak R&D facility.
Live animals are being tortured for their entire lives just to bring you those pretty pictures, and you don't even care. Their microscopic howls of anguish leave you utterly unmoved.

My bacteria are nice. They'd never hurt me.
By contrast, I don't trust those hooligan bacteria in that little box any further'n I could spit. They've got a shifty look in their beady little eyes. The colors are a little too saturated for my liking. They always do that when they're planning something.

An interesting comparison of the current flat-panel display technologies. It's not exhaustive, but it gives you a good 20,000 foot view. Note that this is on the site of an OLED tech competitor, trade named "iFire" which is thick-film transistor based so it's slightly slanted.
The iFire technology is pretty cool too. Seems to be a lot less expensive than OLED, though it's not as bright so less useful for genreal purpose displays. Both techs have been in development for years with very little, commercially, to show.
Apparently TDK and Sanyo are both pursuing potential iFire solutions, though I'm sure all display manufacturers are currently investigating all of the alternatives. Way too soon to throw all one's eggs in one basket.

Just think...when your monitor becomes obsolete (because, for example, you bought a larger, brighter one), you could just eat it. Imagine that!
