I want one:
http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/News/Press/200710/07-1001E/index.html
- Thinness: Proposes new TV form factor measuring approximately 3mm thinness (at its thinnest point)
As OLEDs are light-emitting, there is no need for a separate light source such as a backlight system. Sony's "Organic Panel" consists of an organic material layer of just several hundred nanometers thickness, with two extremely thin glass panels aligned on either side of the organic material layer. This realizes a new TV form factor measuring approximately 3mm at its thinnest point.
- High contrast: Reproduces realistic images using exquisite shades of black and flexible control of color tone and gradation
With its light-emitting structure, the OLED display can prevent light emission when reproducing shades of black, enabling "XEL-1" to reproduce very deep blacks (contrast ratio 1,000,000:1). Furthermore, XEL-1 can control all the phases of light emission from zero to peak brightness, generating color expression and subtleties conventional displays cannot match.
- High peak brightness: Faithfully reproduces picture glow
"Super Top Emission," a technology unique to Sony and incorporated in its "Organic Panel" has a high aperture ratio which allows for efficient light emission from the organic materials, realizing high peak brightness. This enables "XEL-1" to faithfully reproduce light flow such as reflections of sun light or camera flashlights through the image reproduced on the display.
- Excellent color reproduction: Delivers pure and vivid colors in both dark and bright images
In order to use OLED to generate the full spectrum of Sony's TV color requirements, Sony developed its own proprietary organic materials, with bright coloration. In addition, the micro-cavity structure of "Super Top Emission" and the color extracting technology within its embedded color filter enable "XEL-1" to reproduce natural colors beautifully. As a result, the fresh colors of ripe fruit and shades of deep cobalt blue can be stunningly reproduced. The "Organic Panel" can also sustain its color reproduction capability in scenes of diminished brightness, enabling "XEL-1" to faithfully recreate even dark movie scenes using the colors that were originally intended.
- Rapid response time: Smoothly reproduces fast moving images such as sports scenes
Since OLED can spontaneously turn the light emitted from the organic material layer on and off, OLED is capable of very rapid response times. Newly developed OLED drive circuits enable "XEL-1" to reproduce fast moving images such as sports scenes smoothly and naturally.
- Low power consumption
OLED does not require a separate light source due to its light-emitting structure, therefore it can be powered using very low voltages. This means that OLED TVs consume extremely low levels of power compared with other display devices. The power consumption of "XEL-1" is as low as 45W.

Doesn't it cost like $12000 for a 13 inch xel-1.

I did a report on this last year, and as of now, OLED technology is still trying to be mastered for consumer televisions. It uses less power but the resolution is apparently isn't as good and it costs about $250 per squre inch of OLED screen. That's some expensive crap right there.
I can't remember everything about them. {pDs} Lead Salad: bike why did you change your name
Jessica343: so I can get heals
{pDs} Lead Salad: oh damn good idea
{pDs} Lead Salad has changed their name to {pDs} Lead Salad (is a girl)
Jessica343: hahah

Yeah, Ive heard that the resolution is not very good, especially on the larger screens. Quote:Posting related image due to my inability to formulate an intelligent response. BlooDz wrote:i cant type good im stupid

If they can get the price down some it would be viable for some uses even with a smaller resolution. Screens for in cars, for instance; not large, don't have to be great quality, and there's very limited space. Possibly airplanes for the same reason.

Yeah, Well Plasma TV's were very expensive when they first came out aswell.... Quote:Posting related image due to my inability to formulate an intelligent response. BlooDz wrote:i cant type good im stupid

The thing I see potential in is more of it's ability to be INCREDIBLY thin. There is a youtube video of developers showing off a flexible screen that produces OLED video. It would be kind of trippy to think about mounting a TV with something closer to thumbtacks than a rack. Having flexible screens that can display video like televisions could be kind of a breakthrough in where televisions can be. Since OLED doesn't use backlighting like LCD, it has a huge 1up in portability. I would be kind of dazed if I saw a television that you can roll it and pack away. {pDs} Lead Salad: bike why did you change your name

It's a pretty screen, but there's one glaring problem; OLED displays suffer from worse burn-in than CRT displays. My last device that had an OLED display saw a noticeable difference in pixel brightness in a matter of months. In addition they're also very heat sensitive, and actually consume more power than LCDs when used for dynamic display purposes, like video games and movies. http://www.sharpsma.com/...3-4e66-ab68-7a52cae8fa1e "OLEDs are more efficient for small graphics or text because they only consume power in the area where they are addressed." The phrase "as low as 45W" basically just means it consumes 45W at base power consumption, and Sony conveniently fails to mention the peak power consumption of the device. Not worth it, especially with LCD technology improving every day.

By the time you put a few HDMI inputs, RCA, COAX, VGA, PC Audio, etc., you'll be back to having some level of depth - if not on the screen piece, on some secondary piece you'll have to deal with, too. If you think it'll be a single-unit thin piece that you can slap onto a wall, I suspect you're incorrect.
