gluoniumsays...waaauww! nice find! now what the hell is taking so long to actually sell the damn things!?! been hearing abuot OLED for ohhhh 10 years now.
dagsays...Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)
Good stuff. I'm waiting for my roll-up PDA.
thenebsays...I'm watching this on my OLED from the future, damn I love this time travel module.
laserguysays...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.
laserguysays...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.
Kevlarsays...It's got to be prohibitively expensive at this point to mass produce. That would be my best guess as to the delay.
gluoniumsays...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.
coreburnsays...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.
megaflysays...I just want a cellphone where I can't crack the display
don_vicentesays...good practice for my katana
N8xsays...Whats the use of all this technology if your watch is upside down?
marinarasays...lol at the comment by n8x
