Samsung Shows Off 12mm Thick AMOLED Display

malware · Oct 23, 2006

This week at the 2006 Korea Electronics Show, Samsung showed off a 17-inch AMOLED that was only 12mm thick. Being one of the thinnest in the world, the display is based on organic LED technology and produces brightness and image quality to LCD displays available today. This display is able to run at 1600x1200 resolution, which may be a bit too much for a 17-inch, but it's great to know that the technology allows high resolutions. Performance for the new AMOLED screen also appears to be excellent. Pixel response time is rated at an extremely fast 0.01ms. The screen has a constrat ratio of 1000:1 and a brightness rating at 400cd/m2. Viewing angels are also great: >170 degrees. One of the current limitations appear to be the color support of the screen, supporting only 262K colors instead of the millions of colors of today's LCDs. The other issue is that most consumers expect screens to be produced in a 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratio these days. The 4:3 aspect ratio is definitely on the way out.

That's an insane response time :eek:

This could be the end of any advantage CRT's had

Slater · Oct 23, 2006

Yeah but they have an advantage over that [particular monitor], more colors

this technology was annouced a few years ago why on earth has it taken them so long to release considdering how cheap it is meant to be when compared to lcd crystals?

That is why.

I want more OLED MP3 players, cells and other gadgets. Power saving ftw!

Sasqui · Oct 23, 2006

Another 5 years and AMOLED, PHOLED, OLED technology will make sci-fi a reality.

Agility · Oct 23, 2006

I say it takes 2yrs or more. Even mini gadget phones could jump up to 16m colours from 262k

it's a look into the crystal ball... roll-up screens, trasparent windows that actually provide room lighting, entire ceilings that provide room lighting. Entire walls that are actually screens... *drool*

Check out "How I met your mother" Season 2, Episode 5. The 30 foot screen from Barney

that will be reality soon!!

LOL

You have to stay strictly to the tech tree, in order to be a good consumer :laugh:

Drawbacks

The biggest technical problem left to overcome has been the limited lifetime of the organic materials. Particularly, blue OLEDs typically have lifetimes of around 5,000 hours when used for flat panel displays, which is lower than typical lifetimes of LCD or Plasma technology. However, recent experimentation has shown that it's possible to swap the chemical component for a phosphorescent one, if the subtle differences in energy transitions are accounted for, resulting in lifetimes of up to 20,000 hours for blue PHOLEDs.

this LCD sounds interesting, but havent you guys heard of the new laser screens that are being developed?

It was in the news over here...LCD's only display half of wat the human eye can see, these 'laser' screens will run all the colours, they will be more power efficient, and they will cost around 30% less than LCD's

And best of all, it was developed by aussies

infrared · Oct 26, 2006

I want one!

Chewy · Oct 26, 2006

Im saving now! when should we expect it to be available?

Pinchy · Oct 26, 2006

well according to the news, which was about 3 weeks ago, i recall them saying around late this year/early next year....but im only 75% sure

Pinchy · Oct 26, 2006
