Yes, the photo above is actually showing a new flat-screen display from Sony. It's a mere 0.2-mm (0.0079-inch) thin OLED display, a next-generation display technology. Granted, this 3.5-inch prototype is only capable of resolutions of 320 x 220 pixels, just shy of a cellphone standard QVGA resolution, but it's the thinnest display we've seen yet. And just look at those blacks -- you can barely ...

Sony announced Tuesday that it will spend $200 million on OLED development and production. OLED, a next-generation display technology, can be made extremely thin and flexible because they are built from organic carbon materials. OLED displays are currently prohibitively expensive and small--Sony's newest $2500 OLED-TV is only 11 inches--and a drive towards larger and cheaper displays may ...

The market for HDTVs is flooded with competing technologies and not to mention perplexing acronyms and abbreviations -- DLP, LCD, OLED, Plasma, SED. Now you can add Laser TV to your list of display technologies to know. Mitsubishi unveiled a 65-inch laser television at an event during this week's CES -- and people at this week's CES show were buzzing about the incredible color and contrast. ...

We couldn't stop drooling long enough for the Samsung reps to let us near this lust-worthy beauty. Thankfully, the folks over at Engadget were able pick there jaws up off the floor and snag some photos of this ultra thin, environmentally-friendly display. It's only a prototype right now, and Samsung has no immediate plans to bring these to consumers, but we're sure plans will be announced soon ...

We've reported the rumors before, but now it's official: Two of 2007's coolest, only-in-Japan gadgets from Sony are getting the green light for U.S. release. Sony's crazy-thin (.3 millimeters, about .1 inches) OLED-TV will hit store shelves this month for $2,500, a whopping sum for an 11-inch TV, but surprisingly inexpensive if you're they type of early adopter who wants the latest in TV-screen ...

Not like we couldn't see it coming, but news is that a big theme at this year's CES will be "green technology." The environment, being green, and global warming have been on everyone's minds this year. The Prius, 'An Inconvenient Truth,' OLEDs, and tons of research into alternative power sources and fuels were all the rage in 2007, and '08 doesn't look to be any different. A number of new ...

Samsung will be using the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next week to show off a prototype OLED-TV set, a technology that promises less power-hungry display screens than what you find now in LCD panels. What is OLED, you ask? The folks at Kodak have a nice summary of the technology to help you get started. Production is expected to start later this year. While OLED screens will start ...

Things have been awfully quiet on the OLED front as of late. The last major development we reported was that Sony's ultra-thin (and ultra-expensive) organic panel was coming to the US. That was the first bit of OLED news we had for you since said panels were unveiled several months ago. Thankfully, CES (Consumer Electronics Show) is just around the corner, and Samsung aims to let us know that ...

Back in October, Sony wowed us with delicious pictures of a ridiculously thin television, the XEL-1 OLED TV. Its screen enclosure was just three millimeters (about .1-inches!) thick -- or thin rather. Okay, so it's only 11-inches across, meaning you wouldn't want to make one the focal-piece of your home theater system. But it's hard to resist, given its lithe design. It was supposed to be ...

First they got flat, then they got big, and now, with nowhere else to go, TVs are getting thin, thin, thin! At least that's the trend we're extracting from all of the ultra-slim TVs on display at CEATEC, the annual Japanese consumer electronics show we're currently checking out in Tokyo. Take a look at the above-pictured Hitachi super-flat 32-inch LCD-TV prototype, which, at just .72-inches ...

We mentioned Sony's bad boy super-thin TV tech back in April -- the world's first OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) television. This next gen display technology offers several benefits over traditional LCDs and plasmas -- better color, better contrast (this guy features a 1,000,000 to 1 contrast ratio -- that's about 1000 times better than your average budget LCD TV), lower power usage, better ...

If you're the type of person who likes to stay on top of the latest and greatest at all times, then by now you're definitely aware of the hype surrounding OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) displays. If you aren't, OLEDs use organic compounds to produce light similar to the way fireflies spark themselves up. It's widely believed the technology will in a few years supplant LCD, offering better ...
