Samsung's OLED road map + laptop concept

I am really excited about this and I'm sure that many geeks alike will find this laptop just amazing.

This is a 12.1 inch AMOLED display laptop concept with a touch sensitive keyboard (not my favorite, but who cares!). Not really clear is the idea of the back panel that seems to be holding the monitor (if you have any idea please comment).

This baby is not here just to make us wish that "one day"... according to Samsung OLED panels sized up to 17" will be available next year. You excited yet?



Just wait a little longer, meanwhile screens up to 7 inch are coming out this year to let you enjoy maybe a new MID powered by Intel's Atom processor? Anyone? Please?

Transparent OLEDS from Purdue Uni

Ok, yes, OLEDS are cool, we get it.
But trasnparent OLEDS? That's really great stuff man c'mon!

The university of Purdue has realised transparent screens thanks to nanowires (just like Nokia suggested in the MORPH video), but the best thing is that the production seems to be easy and efficient (room temperature). At this point I start to believe Nokia, when they said they'd be out with those technologies in 7 years... man!!! Take that Iphone' Steve!
Now how about a GPS that displays directions straight on your windscreen? I'm waiting !!!

Toshiba and Panasonic to Join OLED market soon?

Samsung 40 inch OLED tv as presented at the CES 2008, early this year.


Around the 25th of January "Engadget" brought us the last great news we were waiting for: the last limit of OLEDs TVs had just been made history by "Toshasonic" (yes them two above), the lifespan of an OLED tv, previously stuck at 30.000 hours (Sony's Xel1) has been increased to reach and pass that of an LCD (50.000 hours)!
Now the only thing that separates us from a mass production of this technology by all the major players in this market (Sony, Samsung, Toshiba, Panasonic, etc...) is, well yes, money.

The production cost of a large OLED display is still too high. This is bound to change though now that there are no more excuses to wait, after all Sony has already taken the first step, the others I don't think will want to compete for a "second place" in that market.

Stay tuned.

Sony and OLED... yet again. I feel almost like saying: "I told you so!"

Yahoo news reports that Sony is about to invest 200 million dollars (that is: circa £100.000.000 !!!) to "develop technology to make medium to large organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panels".

No word on how big will medium and large be exactly... but they would be too expensive now anyway to be real consumer products.

One thing is sure. We seem to be getting there.

I'm hoping to get rid of this annoying LCDs asap! Guys hurry up!!!

Is it finally OLED time?

Sony took a giant step towards new screen technologies: Sony's first Oled TV
It is already possible to pre-order these jewels of technology, through the sonystyle store.

OLED could really be the next thing, with Samsung showing off a 47 inches model at the CES 2007 and Sony showing its amazingly beautiful 27' model hidden behind a small army of 11' with stunning image quality.

With a contrast of 1.000.000:1 (yep, its not a typo!), NTSC color gamma and above it (105%), power consumption much lower than any LCD (even led) because it does not need any backlight, superior response times, 3mm depth, etc... don't know what you guys are thinking but I would give away any LCD screen I own immediately for that 11' model already.

I would not be surprised if they decided to put this beautiful screen on their ultraportable laptop the TZ which has an 11.1' screen...

Almost forgot to mention, retails for:
$ 2499.00

It looks like a big step towards the adoption of this technology and Sony has the habit to bid on the right technologies... ok, ok, not always, but most times!!!
