OLED Displays Technology Primer and Forecasting

Posted by timothy on from the why-clarita-you're-positively-glowing dept.

HawKe writes "OLEDs are back in the news and Audioholics reports on what makes the technology so special as well as who leads the pack in currently shipping products, vaporware, and displays that are on the horizon. The crux of the matter is whether or not OLEDs, the "eco-friendly" choice, can outpace current LCD and plasma display advances. In order to enter and dominate the home theater and computer display markets, they must not only establish themselves, but also beat the leaders in price and performance."

    One big advantage of plastic electronics is that there is virtually no restriction on size.

    I've always wondered if you'd cause a plasma leak if you punctured a hole in your monitor...

    Yeah. If you open up your CD-Rom a laser ray will shot at your ceiling too. There's voltage in your keyboard, and a CRT monitor contains an electron cannon. And your inkjet printer launches hot ink steam at the paper at high velocity! What a dangerous world we live in!
    ps. Did you know there is MAGNETIC FIELD around your speakers?

    If everyone thought like you, where would we be, hmm? I'm going to take the money I got from selling RedHat stock and buy me one of them. It's not like I can't afford one or have a girlfriend to bitch at me for spending the money, and they look really neat.

    Yes, but it's easy to fix. You just have to reverse the polarity on the phase manifolds in your keyboard. They're next to the inertial coupling stablizer.

    This is why CRTs have a sheet of armour-glass on
    their front today. Trying to kick in a TV is not a good idea. You may break your foot.

    Most ACs are not even worth the keystrokes to insult them. Be generically insulted by this and ignored otherwise.
