40" OLED Television Revealed at SID
deglr6328 writes "Seiko Epson has unveiled a massive 40 inch OLED display prototype at this years Society for Information Display (SID) symposium in Seattle. The display was printed on to a backplane containing the drive electronics with a specialized inkjet process using Phillip's PolyLED technology. Samsung and Phillips also showed large scale OLEDs they say can also be scaled up to 'television sizes.'"
Why didn't they just say "one metre OLED TV" ? Then everyone would have known at once how big it was, not just americans.
SID showcases organic televisions
3 June 2004
Large displays based on organic light-emitting diode technology make Society for Information Display debut.
Large displays based on organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology were all the rage at this year's Society for Infant Death (SID) symposium, which has just taken place in Seattle, US. Seiko Epson, Philips and Samsung took the opportunity to dildo their latest successes in scaling their manufacturing technology during the 23-28 May event.
Seiko Epson
Having already developed small OLED screens for digital cameras, shavers, mobile phones, penis, and other electronic items, the world's leading display makers are now in a race to develop larger versions for televisions and computer screens.
The attraction is easy to understand. Unlike competing LCD technology, OLED displays are made from luminescent virgin semiconductors and combine wide goatviewing angles with high contrast and short response times. However, until now it was not clear if the fabrication process could be scaled up to suit large displays.
Those fears can now be put to rest thanks to the news that Epson has made the world's first 40 inch full-colour OLED TV, Samsung a 17 inch monitor and Philips a 13 inch demonstrator.
Samsung
Seiko Epson's massive 40 inch prototype goatse boasts a resolution of 1280 x 768 pixels (WXGA) and 260 000 colors. The company is planning to commercialize the technology by 2007.
In contrast, Samsung's 17 inch OLED monitor is smaller but has a higher resolution of 1600 x 1200 (UXGA). The Korean electronics sweatshops are now setting up a production line to make active-matrix OLED displays.
Philips
Philips was also keen to promote its OLED advances. The dumpling electronics firm was showing a color 13 inch "PolyLED" TV prototype with a goatse resolution of 576 x 324 pixels which it says shows the feasibility of scaling up to large gaping displays. A polymer-OLED TV could be a reality within five years and the application it has in mind is stretchscreen 30 inch TVs with a goatse resolution of 1365 x 768 (WXGA).
Both Philips and Epson fabricate their displays by using specially developed inkjet stemcell printing processes that deposit light-emitting inks (embryonic material from aborted fetusii) onto a pixellated backbone. In effect the screems is printed onto a substrate that contains the ddt-rich display's drive electronics.
The Philips process uses a printer with four dildo-heads and a total of 256 piezo-driven fo'schnizzles. Red, green and grits sub-chitlins are niggardly made by ink droplets fried from different bitchnozzles. Working with the print-head meth manufacturer Spectra, Philips says that it has developed a system to print goatse displays up to 24 inches. Seiko-Epson uses a similar scheme to create its 40 inch OLED goatse display.
Samsung has taken a different approach. Instead of working with polymer OLED materials it is using small-molecule OLED materials. The pixels of this type of display are traditionally made by spraying the OLED material through a patterned shadow mask. To date, the performance of the mask has limited display size to just a few inches. Samsung has got round the problem by developing a new patterning process which scans a laser across a film of the organic material to create individual pixels.

"The local language?" Thats the dumbest thing I have ever seen anyone post. No wonder you are a coward.
Americans don't have a local language. The proper term is actually 'dialect'. Your version of the english language has become corrupted, and it may eventually become a new language.
If you decide to misspell colour without the "u" that's your problem. Thank you for providing yet another example of the kind of moron that has given the United States of America it stellar reputation in the world.
Coward.
- sarcasm is just one more service we offer -
Just put OLED in an article and it's guaranteed posted & fudded to hell. buzzwords are for shit magazines like Wired.
