Has anybody seen this or have read anything more about this. Seems like an interesting concept.

This is OLED isn't it?

This has been in the papers and everywhere else. Innovation by that hated and evil Sony yet again. Go figure.

Don't feel too bad. This news just showed up yesterday.

Amazing technology though. It just goes to show that what we see in good science fiction films now seems to become reality.

I believe in Minority Report the chap on the train (a cameo by Cameron Crowe) who spots John Anderton is reading a newspaper which exhibits breaking news on the front page in the form of moving images.

Ideal use for that kind of technology.

I did see that yesterday. Very impressive! I also have a Sony DSLR, so I hope they are putting forth a good deal of effort on the new models too.

You mean apart from Reel-to-reel, Transistor radios, Apeture grille cathode ray tube televisions, Video cassette recorder, Optical discs, The walkman, Compact Disc, Digital audio tape, The Discman, Hi8 video, DVD, 3.5" floppy disc, S/PDIF, SDDS Theatre surround coding, MiniDisc, SACD, Hi-MD, UMD, PlayStation, PlayStation2, PlayStation3 and Blu-ray?

Absolutely nothing.

I'm going to love seeing the battle ensue for the nextgen display tech.

SED looks D-E-A-D

Laser looks decent but when is it coming in mass quantity?

OLED sounds great. How much will the 30" sizes cost? Love the Calista Flockhart like thinness.

LiFi- Panasonic is embracing it.

I don't necessarily need my video to bend but I'd love having a power efficient display that doesn't generate a bunch of heat and has contrast for days.

How's come Toshiba, your company, dumped the technology?

JToddler · 05-27-2007, 12:12 AM

Toshiba is heavily promoting an HD format at the present time (Did you see their ad with Michael Imperioli) and their cash flow can not finance SED right now!

Umm.. Who is Michael Imperioli? Did you see how He promotes an HD format with all seriousness? He goes on saying ..." To me Toshiba HD-DVD is the ultimate"
