Sony has developed a new technology that will pave the way for the commercialization of an organic electroluminescence (OEL or OLED) TV.

The OEL display, used in the OEL TV, uses a material that emits light when voltage is applied, and an organic material is used for the illuminator.

One of the characteristics of the OEL display is a high contrast ratio.

Typically, liquid crystal displays and plasma displays have a contrast ratio of several thousands to one, but the OEL display has a contrast ratio as high as 1 million to one.

The higher the contrast ratio, the more vividly black is displayed.

Called Laser Induced Pattern-wise Sublimation, or LIPS, the latest technology selectively emits 800-nanometer-wavelength laser beams on a donor substrate coated with a light emitting material and placed on a glass substrate, and transfers the light emitting material to necessary parts.

This technology can form patterns without having to use a mask, so it can use low-molecular materials to create large screens.

Sony has already developed a 27-inch OEL TV prototype.

The company plans to ship within the year an 11-inch OEL TV, which does not use the latest LIPS technology but the conventional technology. Sony has not disclosed information on the price and sales volumes.

Could you image this on a 60 inch? Burn your fuckin eyes out! 

[Toker Mate]

True I guess if you have young kids stay clear of fancy stuff haha.

[kght222]

not to disagree with you (i dont) but a light tv is easy to knock over and break, videos of that happening are easily available on this website. so there is something to say about older heavier screens in that respect.

[Toker Mate]

Cool, not only does it look like a poster on a wall it also reduces shipping costs and you could even walk into the store and buy a 52" screen and walk home with it in your hands.. not sure why you would need to but fuck heavy ass tv's.

because CRTs are getting fat and heavy if you want anything above 15"... and why should you press your lcd? OLED displays work differently then lcd

[DoNultima]

Yes. The Germans, Japanese, Americans and British are leaders in technology and research.
