wait... what?

[cremedelapeng]

I don't know how people come up with this stuff...

[ExteelPaprika]

the future is crazy... ten years from now we'll have affordable 3d oled tvs. EYE CANDY

@ExteelPaprika give it 5 years at the most

This video is straight-forward and less headache inducing than the wikipedia about OLED

[Traditz]

Im doing an assignment on this technology.

Very interesting!

LAWLCAKES, my pickle only glows when i touch it...

@Acer0c LOL

that guarantees a market for new OLED devices, of course.

[hurricanefloyd1]

OLEDS wear out quicker than other technology, LCDs last for a very long time as long as the backlight is replaced every few years.

[heffeque]

Traditional LCDs yes, but, newer LCDs that have LED backlight don't have that problem.

[hurricanefloyd1]

Although LEDs do have a longer lifespan than cold cathode lighting they do eventually wear out and in fact get dimmer pretty early in their lifespan.

Great explanation. Are there any mainstream mobile devices already using this tech? The battery would probably last much longer.

[defacedlawngnome]

there are many devices on the market using this tech already.

@h0lyRS Zune HD.

That is an awesome demonstration and a very clear explanation of how OLEDs work. Great video.

Technology rules.
