dev.emcelettronica.com — OLED TV (Organic Light-Emitting Diodes TV) a sci-fi gadget that becomes reality. A very large screen high-definition TV at less than 1/2 cm thickness? A TV monitor that can be rolled up and put into your bag after use? A display device weaved in the sleeves of your jacket? Sounds like sci-fi? Not anymore in a very near future.

This is why we can't have nice things.

What do you mean /conspiracy theory? That's exactly what American companies have been doing for years.Haven't you noticed that the American mobile companies never have the latest phones? It's because they figure they can sell the just-shy-of cutting edge to Americans and mark it way up, claim it's cutting-edge, and make huge profits.It's not just the cell phone providers doing this, it's just the most obvious example.

Comment Jack: From wikipedia: "In 2007, experimental PLEDs were created which can sustain 400 cd/m² of luminance for over 198,000 hours for green OLEDs and 62,000 hours for blue OLEDs"LCDs are usually rated at 60,000, along with plasma displays and LED's. If you use the screen for eight hours a day every day you're looking at 20 years of screen life. If you are addicted to your computer or TV and used it 14 hours a day, that's still 11 years. If it was a TV, at four hours a day, that's 32 years.Personally, I expect my computer monitors to be replaced every ten years, at least. For the past decade, it's been once every two years (gotta love thrift stores). If I could get a large OLED monitor that lasted ten years, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.Also, "Eventually, bendable, transparent OLED screens could be stacked to produce 3D images".Basically, OLED screens can be printed in the factory (which makes them cheap), use less power while displaying a brighter, crisper, better image, have a wider viewing angle, better refresh rate, they can work good in direct sunlight... these sound great. And with retail units on the market, and the screens being used in more and more portable electronics, prices should drop like a rock soon.Now if they can get my MRAM and Memjet printer on the market...

The problem I see with a paper-thin display is that you need a place for things such as connectors, speakers, etc.
