Sony's flexible, full-color OLED

Sony unveiled what is billed as the world's first flexible, full-color OLED display built on organic thin-film transistor (TFT) technology. The 2.5-inch prototype display supports 16.8 million colors at a 120 x 169 pixel resolution, is 0.3 mm thick and weighs 1.5 grams.

this is so cool. in mobile phones a standard battery should now last 2weeks instead of 2days. notice there isn't a back light. this is the best part of oled technology.

Oh an i think that the 3 films in the display have not been complete for 10years gluonium. The thoery has been around for that long but developing the 3 component colour films to be stable (long lifetimes) at room temperature with the desired mechanical properties has taken a while.

The theory's been around since 1987 when electroluminescent organic compounds were discovered at Kodak and we've had 3 color compounds for about 10 years now. The lifetimes were an issue 5 years ago but still even then practically no one made and sold anything w/them. The cost to mass produce them is REALLY cheap too because the compounds can be soluble in common organic solvents. You can put them in an inkjet and just print out displays onto plastic! This too has been done for 6-7 years. I just don't know why they don't sell something made of this, even if the lifetimes are still short who cares if you can churn out rolls of the stuff for pennies.

The way I look at it, cellphones and lots of other gadgets have short lifetimes anyway, so why not use it for those devices. Or make the displays easily replaceable, through some kind of universal connection kinda like USB and make it compatible with lots of different devices... that way it could be used lots of different ways instead of just on one device, like to show someone your photos on your camera, or video cam, or portable digital video/music device... maybe even gaming devices too, although for that low resolution isn't going to work.
