GE Reaches OLED Milestone

Posted by timothy on from the lightsource-lust dept.

swordboy writes "General Electric recently announced the largest and most efficient OLED panel ever created. The 24 inch square panel emits 1200 lumens with a power consumption of about 80 watts - on par with today's incandescent bulbs. This represents the first fruit from the NIST project with ECD Ovonics. The ultimate goal is a cheap, flexible display and lighting technology that can function with an efficiency of 100 lumens per watt. This would make great wallpaper." (And, I hope, a great backlight for laptops.)

    And this is why we don't have a meta discussion page. Because it's all about the money, really. There's too much of it to allow Slashdot to really be impartial.

    But nobody really cares anyway. Herds, the lot of ya.

    And I'm posting this AC free, damn the punishment.
