Successor or potential successors to LCDs?

OLED has been in development for a decade. They've gone from cheap 1-2" displays with small colour gamuts to the superior display technology in cellphones.

Samsung uses OLED on its Galaxy S II (4.3-4.5"), Galaxy Note, Galaxy Nexus, and Galaxy Tab 7.7". OLED tech is already being mass produced.



Infinite black (black = pixel is off; no backlight bleed), slightly lower power consumption to LED, better contrast are some of the reasons.

Put a Samsung Galaxy S II next to an iPhone 4/4S sometime and compare the screens to compare OLED to IPS.

Honestly the SGSII Skyrocket's screen wasn't that much better then the screen on my LG Nitro.

Sure the Skyrocket had better colors and such but the IPS display on the Nitro is still really good.

It helps that the Nitro has a resolution of 720p.

the future was going to be sed.. or one of the possible futures.

Well, the colors on Galaxy SII are quite artificial since they are forced to be stronger than it should, but it's due to Samsung implementation of Android, and not due to a display fault.

Some expert guys could get the display configuration files, and prove this fact.

Nevertheless, a very nice display. The contrast and blacks no LCD can match.

was = past tense, ie no longer the case

if LCD or even plasma hadn't plummeted in cost to produce and very much increased in quality, then SED might have had a shot, however SED is now very much dead

the future now lies with OLED and maybe QD-LED

LCD had also problems with burn-in in its infancy, I'd be surprised if it's still an issue 3 years from now

thank you for your enlightening post captain obvious.

thank you for your enlightening post captain obvious.

if it was so obvious, then why did you make your original post at all?

I'm still on the first step. Cannon is going announce SED TVs just you wait. I'll use this Sony HD CRT TV until it dies if I have to.

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

CRTs are going to make a comeback! Just like disco one day will.

I'll be plenty surprised if we get affordable and decent OLED monitors in 5 years time. IPS took forever to reach that stage even though it isn't a fundamental change to LCD tech.

The LG VP of the division said their OLEDs will be cheaper than their LCD's by 2016. Gives me hope!

That's relatively recent, though, right? Last I remember, they were still trying to fab all colors and having issues with blue LED lifetime.

They've always had issues with blue lifetimes. Supposedly they're getting up there, but I have no exact numbers as they're all likely proprietary. I think if blue pixels get up to 60,000 hours to half brightness, they'll be good to go. Red and greens are already about 60,000-100,000 IIRC.
