DuPont Creates 50" OLED in Under 2 Minutes

[citation][nom]robles[/nom]meat81 :First i was thinking about the paint company and they doing something like painting a pic on a wall and calling it OLED, god i feel dumb.... Time for more coffee.DuPont also makes paint. They are a huge chemical company, so, it is the same company.[/citation]

I can't believe you people don't know who DuPont is. I wonder what the average age is around here.

I work nights, my girlfriend works mornings and my kid is always home. Between the 3 of us watching at different times of the day our tv is on a lot. Still 5 years of constant use is decent. With newer technologies always coming out you should probably replace it about that often anyway.

Oh man do I want them to get this going. I am absolutely in love with the OLED screen on my HTC incredible. The colors seem so much warmer and more vibrant then on a LCD display. Add the energy efficiency you get with these babies and you have by far the most desirable display.

P.S. on life span, I read on another tech site that they were hoping for 15 years.

My father.

First article I've read today. I saw it and though "holy ****!"
365.25*8*15= 43,830 hours.

Now the important part though. Which may be the buzz kill.
Quality, performance, colour accuracy, actual cost (production cost, and retail cost), efficiency (over a 15 year lifespan, the power bill will dwarf the TV cost). This is the stuff that we need to know.

I have my eyes on you DuPont.

I want this so bad. Prices dropping and sizes increasing is nice.

Painting... intereting... when will they be able to print an OLED on my wall? Or on my table?

My younger siblings for some god awful reason... come home from school, turn the tv on... and then go on the computer... and the worst part is.. they're watching the freakin weather channel 😵 ?... it's almost as if they enjoy creating useless ambient noise.

I can see it now, taggers of the future using DuPont OLED Spray Paint. I'm trying to think where we can go after OLED. It seems to be the pinnacle of display technology. I suspect the only place to go from here is developing display technology that manifests out of thin air.

News companies are like grocery stores, that change product displays and arrangements all the time to keep things "fresh and up to date" so in a five year period they will be ready for new stuff.

In about 10 years, but it will be real neat when the printer at your office (or home) can print a sheet of paper with animation on it. One company in the UK is already working on OLED wallpaper for room lighting.

50" in 2 minutes is a nice demonstration but I bet they scale production sizes back in 2-3 years when they start making stuff that is headed to market. Like LCD, I expect to see OLED in laptops and other portables before desktops and living rooms.

Chronic masterbaters?

I watch about an hour a week, so this would last me for the rest of my life.

So they can produce cheaper OLED now, just like they can produce cheaper 40nm GPU's now and cheaper 32nm CPU's... Any idea how long it will take untill we can see cheaper prizes? But in anyway a good news is good news.
Maybe in few years...

The next display technology? Simple. No display at all. Just scan the image directly onto your retina.
