    Hopefully, OLEDs won't emit that burnt pickle stench in the future.

    Bunt sausage smell, maybe. An OLED display that also makes hot dogs? WIN

    If OLED displays are so easy to create, and we had the technology ten years ago, and we've had the glowing pickle experiement since forever, why did we screw around with super complicated LCD displays at all?

    @se7a7n7: Actually, they started messing with the technology over a hundred years ago, and the first devices using them are almost 40 years old.

    I'm sure that somebody electrocuted a pickle a long time ago, but the time required for development is much shorter now, so we don't have to wait decades for products to come out.

    He's saying the OLED screens should be easier to make. That means that monitors are going to get even cheaper...

    We're going to have $200 42" OLED TV by 2012.

    "The manufacturing of this technology should be much simpler."

    Oh I hope this guy is right. The difference between "should" and "is" is so often an uncrossable chasm. I was thinking this same thing about induction chargers. They should be stupid cheap but a Pre charger costs $100 and that laptop has a $200 induction charger? Madness.

    @The Lab:
    at the same time them chargers are marked up my pre charger from bestbuy with my discount was only 24.99 which means there cost for it is only probably around 10-15$ probably much less than that, just because things retail for outrageous prices does not mean there not cheap to make.

    @The Lab: In terms of maturity compared to LCDs anyway. We have to remember that LCDs are now in their 7th generation of revision (and each generation requires retooling a factory for production). So while they will initially be more expensive because the economies of scale haven't kicked in, eventually they'll be cheap enough that you can slap an OLED wherever you want to (and he doesn't even talk about the fact that because they are 0.3 microns thick, they can be flexible/bendable too).

    @DiscoD: In theory, they should be just as cheap as a regular charger. They are really only a coil of wire that produces a electromagnetic field. It doesn't get more simple. In theory at least.

    If might be a bit sour (or sweet) to shine the light on this, but you can definitely see the pickle OLED manufacturers are in.

    That doesn't look like the kind of image I'd expect to come out of a corporation like Kodak. Lego minifigs are way more professional.

    I am glad you keep those seperate. You will make a fine father one day. In the mean time keep using the latter.
