Interesting news, is it not? If you're interested in hearing about
the Kodak camera, the first to use this type of display, then check

Power is just part of it. And that's a good thing.

Now, you have a display that can actually be SEE. Bigger, brighter, more visible. Better displays on the way.

They are willing to invest upwards of 9 BILLION in the new OCD display...
but not in a DSLR? ;-)

Yeah, I know, there's more potention product distribution in the OCD, especially with all the implied and imagined applications. But, what about MY bottom line?

I've invested in three mem sticks, and two batteries (we're talking BIG investment here LOL )...

all of which would be WAY too conveniet to carry over for use on a SONY DSLR, right? LOL

OLEDs are predicted to have the benefits listed below. Makes one want to hold off a little longer for the next digicam.

Rodger

1. Much thinner and lighter than an LCD.
2. Self-luminous, thus uses much less power.
3. Greater durability.
4. Safe to use over a wider temperature range.
5. Brilliant colors and high contrast images.
6. Wider usable viewing angle.
7. Easily viewable even in bright light.
8. Much easier to perform critical focusing.
 
Rodger -

I was trying to find out more about the OLED as applied for better focusing. Can you elaborate a bit more or provide any links?

They have a very limited life and only last for 2 years, so stay away from them.

The article that I read stated they are OK for Cell Phones as most replace them before the display wares out.

9. and only a 2 year life span.

You can keep them.

Found this to back up my statement of 2 years

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So while you are waiting for these breakthroughs, what are the present applications for OLEDs?

One of the important factors that determine the application of OLEDs is its life span. Today, mass-produced OLEDs last about 5,000 hours; this limits the applications to mobile phones and PDAs, whose displays can easily be replaced. So we have to determine what directly affects the life span of the device, such as materials, device structure and production conditions. We believe that the material is the most important factor.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Has any one got and better info..?

Longevity is the biggest problem. I am sure before Sony starts putting them in devices they will iron a few bugs out. Still looks like today screens will be around for a few years.

At least from the reports, it sounds as if they intend to start using these in their still cameras and camcorders sometime in 2004.

No way. OLED is very vulnerable to oxygen and H2O. A tiny amount of exposure to these elements will ruin whole display completely. Samsung is working on a technology that fixes this which is called Barix thin-film coating.
