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 ...
Will they be able to compete with lcd in 2 years?

Kodak says the 15-inch screen is a prototype and won't be on the market for two or three years.
I wonder how cheap 15 inch lcd screens will be in 2 to 3 years. They're already falling pretty drastically already. And once these OLED monitors come to market, will kodak and sanyo be able to make a profit if these lcd screens continue to drop for 2 years? They could always make them bigger i guess.
Lifespan?

Have they solved the short lifespan of the organic light emitting compounds, particularly in the blues? I notice that the photo in the article didn't have a lot of rich, deep blue hues. Was that on purpose?

Back up your claims. Not much more to say than that, but you've been moderated informative for this.. Looking at your message history you also claim to be a naval officer. Not only that you also claimed to do a lot of the initial work on beowulf clustering. In short MOD PARENT DOWN.

Ambiguous: how thick is it?

The article says "The 15-inch screen is all of 1.4 millimeters thick -- about the size of two quarters back-to-back," but a SINGLE quarter is 1.75mm, so says the U.S. Mint.
Note the lack of blues in the picture

Note that the picture on display in the article
shows a floral scene of browns, oranges, and
yellows. No blues. I'm guessing that the
short lifetime of blue organic LED's is still
a major factor.
That said, the original polaroid and technicolor
processes also lacked any blue - they came later.
If your goal is to reproduce skin tones, you
generall don't need much blue; the eye can
do remarkable things in compensating for lack
of blue illumination but still making you
think you see full-color.

Hmm... super-cheap wall-to-wall flat panel displays.
Yum!

I've had the honor of helping out on this prototype
Being a former retail shop owner
Being a Marketing Director
I can assure you that VeriSign not only is 'still in it', but they plan on fighting to regain some control over
What I'd like to know is when he'll give gratitude to those of us that helped him early on.
