No Sony OLED Displays In 2004

Posted by timothy on from the hang-onto-your-saliva dept.

Anonymous Howard writes "Designtechnica is reporting that Sony will not introduce any OLED displays in 2004 as previously anticipated. Sony was planning on producing 300,000 2-inch OLED panels per month for its portable devices such as DSCs (digital still cameras) and PDAs. Surprisingly, there have only been a handful of products out that use OLED displays; Samsung has a cell phone and MSI has an MP3 player, for example."

    Look at the stupid films in the late 90s with their CRT displays ;).

    My favorite example of future monitors is 2010, with the monitor (in Dr. Chandra's office, IIRC. It's been a while though) with a case the size of a modern-day 22" CRT, but with a visible area of about 12" and a resolution of maybe 40x40. :) Yeah, not much they could do about the resolution and screen size considering the tech at the time, but the huge fucking box around it? Whose idea was that?

    A funny thing about late 90s movies and monitors: in a firefight, the LCDs never get hit. Every CRT in the room can get shot, but the LCDs go unscratched. Not surprising from a financial standpoint, since old, broken, or otherwise explosion-worthy CRTs are a dime a dozen and LCDs aren't, but it's still amusing to see the aftermath of an office fight scene with bits of computer shrapnel all over and one lone, unharmed LCD standing in the middle of it.
