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."

    "Operating lifetime exceed 1000 hours"

    Normally, when I see things about operating lifetimes exceeding some number, it means that they normally fail around that point. This means that at continuous use, the OLED would fail after 42 days. Let's say that it's in an computer monitor and is on for 8 hours a day. That means it's expected to last 125 days. I for one do not want to replace my monitor three times a year. If this technology is to get widespread acceptance, it's going to need an operational lifetime much greater than that.

  3. 1000 Hours? by bmac · · Score: -1, Redundant

    That's only 44 days. How could that possibly
    be good for anything other than a disposal
    camera?

    is that a typo?

    The article proudly presents "lifetime exceeds 1000 hours" ?!

    This is horribly low. What, about 25 weeks of 8 hours a day work?

    From the article -- in a bullet list of "benefits":

    Operating lifetime exceed 1000 hours

    Um, I hope it's a lot longer than 1000 hours. That's just over 41 days for the mathematically impaired.

    From the linked article:
    "Operating lifetime exceed 1000 hours"

    I would hope so!

    8 hours a day at work, 5 days a week - I would sincerely hope that I wouldn't need to replace my monitor twice a year!
