- Flamespectre, on 11/14/2009, -0/+50Wait a minute, shouldn't the OLED and LCD images look the same on my LCD screen?
- xwatermelon, on 11/14/2009, -4/+45What an amazing collection!
Amazing technology!
Really nice concepts!
Wow!
Cool!
Awesome!
...kk digg me up - TheFamousOne2, on 11/14/2009, -6/+41"Obvious statement repeating what everyone else said!"
- brownr21, on 11/14/2009, -0/+32How about an entire house with wallpaper decked out in this?
- brazilianwinter, on 11/14/2009, -2/+30Amazing technology. These are gonna be everywhere 10 years from now.
- flyinfoofighter, on 11/14/2009, -2/+21This can't come soon enough ever since we downgraded from CRTs.
- Zippo, on 11/14/2009, -0/+19Imagine having a wall that looks just like an ordinary wall... then BAM, 60" inch HDTV.
- Shakuras, on 11/14/2009, -0/+12Why do the LCD and OLED comparisons look different on my LCD screen?
- LilRabbitFooFoo, on 11/14/2009, -0/+10Um, here's a secret from someone who was in the room when all of this happened...
The 11" OLED monitor was a proof of concept designed to scare the rest of the industry *****.
It accomplished it's goal. The other big LCD manufacturers agreed to throw Toshiba's HDDVD under the bus, giving Sony's BluRay the win. Sony then politely delayed the release of OLED long enough to let all these manufacturers recoup their costs for the latest LCD fabs.
And now everyone has made their money, LCDs have gone low end, so Sony can release OLED to the high end space to start. Everyone won, except for Toshiba.
Not everything that happens in the world happens with the consumer in mind. The high stakes poker that was played by Sony to give them the BluRay win was genius. And now OLED is coming to rule the world. - PabloIV, on 11/15/2009, -0/+8FTA:
"Ah, using OLEDs like you are a super-secret spy is not science fiction anymore. These interactive data eyeglasses are being developed by students at the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany. They project an image onto the retina from an OLED micro-display, making the image appear as if it’s a meter in front of the wearer. Unlike other glasses that throw up a static image, these will allow eye-tracking technology so the movement of the eyeball will scroll through information, menus, or move elements about. The glasses are designed to provide information to people wearing them who don’t have their hands free to operate a keyboard or mouse."
This, this right here will change the way the world works. - MacBookForMe, on 11/13/2009, -5/+13What an amazingly bright & geekish collection!
- starsky51, on 11/14/2009, -0/+7Adverts with sound FTFL! I like Chrome but I think I need to go back to Firefox + Adblock.
- cybershoplifter, on 11/14/2009, -0/+7I liked the use for safety. The bike rim lights and clothing lighting would be cool for those night rides..but sadly they will be slabbed all over buses and taxi's with adverts blaring and drive us nuts.
- applK, on 11/14/2009, -0/+6a flexible display could mean unfolding my smartphone to TWICE the screen size!
- GauteHauk, on 11/14/2009, -0/+6Actually, forgive my forgetfulness, but there is research going on into how to properly display a HUD for glasses/contacts. I can't remember where I saw the article about it, but it basically stated that the problem is exactly that. The eye cannot focus so close, so to solve that problem, they point the light directly into the eye and your eye interprets the image as being a certain distance away, meaning you -can- focus on it without eye strain.
I just look forward to the problems being worked out because omgcool. - rif42, on 11/14/2009, -0/+6More about research in OLED as a light source
http://oled100.eu/ - SmilinGoat, on 11/15/2009, -0/+5kind of shocked they did not mention the ZuneHD. i mean i know its not revolutionizing anything, but its a pretty good glimpse of what OLED has to bring to the table in picture quality. and compared to that 11-inch sony, its cheap. my girlfriend has one and loves it, i finally watched a movie on it while traveling last week, i cant wait until i can get a full sized TV with this kind of amazing quality. 5 years from now is going to be amazing.
- nyxerebos, on 11/14/2009, -1/+6FTA: "The remote control from the XEL-1 was only 10mm thick." - ZOMG!!1! OLED tech seems awesome though.
- xwatermelon, on 11/14/2009, -0/+4why are you getting dugg up?
- Thomaschaaf, on 11/14/2009, -1/+5THe OLED Glasses make no sense, since they are not realized as head up displays (like fighterpilots have) but your eyes would actually have to focus on the area that is right in front of you thus causing eye strain.. So basically we're looking for a way to make it a head up display else it's just a bright spot in your eye if you are looking in the distant.
- KevenM, on 11/14/2009, -0/+4Thanks for the insight. Sounds like a ***** thing to do, but I get it.
- mesasone, on 11/15/2009, -0/+460"? DARE TO DREAM.
- raananh, on 11/14/2009, -0/+4Some of these things are NOT OLED. It the old Electro Luminescence (EL) technology invented in the 1930s.
Ron - JulioChavez, on 11/15/2009, -0/+3Piss poor comment. WTF are you even talking about?
- Alphaaaaaa, on 11/15/2009, -0/+3lmfao! I feel your pain. Welcome back brother!
- Rodik, on 11/14/2009, -0/+3yeah but i like how they show a comparison of the OLED display together with an LCD display... and we're watching it through an LCD... like.... who are they trying to fool?
- joshwehatetech, on 11/14/2009, -0/+3Interesting look at it. From what I understand OLED is suppose to be cheap to produce "eventually" anyway. Would make sense for everyone to milk out LCD before that happens.
- Rockkybox, on 11/14/2009, -0/+2Well I suppose its possible that the they made the OLED LCD quality and they reduced the LCD quailty the same amount between LCD and OLED?
- dhughes, on 11/14/2009, -0/+2 The USB thumbdrive reminds me of a CSI episode where they put their hand on a computer monitor to scan it, dammit now it's real (sort of) when will CSI learn companies make this stuff so CSI-like?
That thumbdrive is pretty sweet though, I want one. - LilRabbitFooFoo, on 11/15/2009, -0/+2That 11" OLED screen was the gun on the table that proved Sony was ready to pull the trigger if they all didn't agree. With the PS3 in deep trouble (because of the high price with BluRay on the ropes), if Sony lost the HD media war, they only had one trick left.
Now they've got BluRay AND a resurgent PS3 (because of BluRay) selling, so they're taking the own sweet time releasing OLED... - geoman2k, on 11/14/2009, -0/+2ohhh that could be cool...
animated wallpaper that illuminates the room, full wall screensavers (think "sunrise earth" but your entire wall). then just drag your finger along the wall like making a selection box on a computer, and your tv appears there, whatever size you want.
wasn't there stuff like this in total recall, and Fahrenheit 451? good stuff. the big question is how long till it becomes cost effective for normal people to have it. - mesasone, on 11/15/2009, -0/+2How exactly does THAT work?
- DannyB, on 11/14/2009, -0/+2I usually don't like time flying by, but I hope it does so I can get a OLED coffee mug with weather!
- dgendreau, on 11/14/2009, -1/+3I think it would look something like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXumyShhj60#t=5m25s - Malnilion, on 11/14/2009, -0/+1I want an entire wall made of an OLED screen in a home theater room one day. Reminds me of one of the short stories in The Illustrated Man. If they could figure out a way to put speakers behind these screens...oh man we could have some fun.
- The2DQuartet, on 11/23/2009, -0/+1I haven't seen a website so crowded and hard to read since MySpace
- SmilinGoat, on 11/15/2009, -0/+1i really hate clowns.
- digitalrainman, on 11/14/2009, -1/+2This is what "IT" should have been. Not some glorified scooter for douchebags.
- Jektal, on 11/15/2009, -0/+1They only look like that currently if you shine a light on them, this way they would be self-luminescent, which would be way more ***** useful.
- SmilinGoat, on 11/15/2009, -1/+2because on digg, if you post in the first 5 posts, you'll be dugg up.
- Culyt, on 11/14/2009, -0/+1An epaper display would be much better on the thumbdrive since it would retain the image with the power off.
- PinkThing, on 11/19/2009, -0/+1What a gas! How about an awesomely futuristic house from the 1950s? Built by renowned architect Harry Seidler for his parents between 1948 and 1950, this is often described as one of the most uncompromising modernist houses in Australia, offering panoramic views of Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. http://www.thegreatnorthwalk.com/RoseSeidlerHouse
- SuicideMouse, on 11/15/2009, -0/+1It's like those dull and blurry "SD" pictures next to sharp and over-colored "HD" pictures.
- JulioChavez, on 11/15/2009, -0/+1Exactly. The image is projected onto the retina. It is not on the "lens" of the glasses like it shows in the article. There will be no more eyestrain than when you're looking at your monitor about a meter in front of you. I imagine it will be very low resolution a least for a while.
- GauteHauk, on 11/15/2009, -0/+1Still, cool as *****, right?
- DubiousDrewski, 23 hr 24 min ago, -0/+1Weird.
- djambo, on 11/15/2009, -0/+1Eyeball scrolling, win.
- Paedin, on 11/15/2009, -0/+1This is like, when you see a science fiction movie and some dude's looking at a newspaper that has video in the pages. I say, 20 more years and we'll have that kind of tech.
- DiscoLando, on 11/15/2009, -2/+3LOUD NOISES!
