Flexible, full-color OLED
On May 24, Sony unveiled what it is calling the world’s first flexible, full-color organic electroluminescent display (OLED) built on organic thin-film transistor (TFT) technology. OLEDs typically use a glass substrate, but Sony researchers developed new technology for forming organic TFT on a plastic substrate, enabling them to create a thin, lightweight and flexible full-color display. The 2.5-inch prototype display supports 16.8 million colors at a 120 x 160 pixel resolution (80 ppi, .318-mm pixel pitch), is 0.3 mm thick and weighs 1.5 grams without the driver.
According to Sony, which plans to release a new line of miniature TVs this year and is bolstering efforts to develop next-generation flat-panel OLEDs, this new technology will lead to the development of thinner, lighter and softer electronics.
The company is scheduled to present the results of its research at the SID 2007 International Symposium now underway in the US.
Here’s the video.

Flexible, full-colour OLED from Sony…

[…] Sony is announcing their new “flexible” technology that allows tv signals to be distributed on flexible pieces of plastic. I have spoken about this technology before, but to actually see it, live, is amazing. This is obviously the end of the line for television displays, and I am actually waiting for the industry to come up with some point of pricepoint for the technology as its value to the consumer is priceless. When I see technologies like this, I see one thing changing, and that is our quality of life. Decreasing the amount of space needed for hardware, inversely affects the chances of new “things” taking their place. Whether those thigns are good or bad, remain for debate, but I’ll have my fingers crossed. Until then, I guess I will be waiting for five more years until they make a 47 inch version of this plastic material. Chow.

It’s Organic Light-Emitting Diode.
The future is most definitely almost here! I wonder how long it will be until we can have mobile wrist watches with video phones in them… and will we be alive to see them lol.
