I bet what they're not saying is that they've got big plans for some OLED roll-to-roll printing, which -- once they have kinks worked out like ink solvent systems, ink drying times, and printing resolution -- should DRASTICALLY reduce OLED display manufacturing costs.

GE has already got a working prototype (linked below). While it may be lousy and expensive, the technology is advancing quickly, and I think LG is banking on this stuff, to make a bold statement like "OLEDs will be cheaper than LCDs in the future".

Maybe. But did he factor in the LCD price fixing thing? #lgoledroadmap

2016? umm screw OLED! If I'm not crusing around town on my hoverboard, with my auto-tie-Nike's and my self drying jacket by 2016 I'm done...I'm just going to give up... #lgoledroadmap

I don't understand the rationale behind releasing this data. All this will do is make people hold off on getting a new TV until OLED is cheaper which won't help to encourage manufacturing improvement if people aren't buying. #lgoledroadmap

@aek8: It's not like OLED is suddenly going to drop in price 75% on the first of January, 2016. It'll be a gradual process, and as the TVs get cheaper, people will start to get them. The continued and inevitable reduction in cost of LCDs never stopped people investing in them either. #lgoledroadmap

Thats funny. By 2016 there will be some other new technology driving the TV industry. So obviously by 2016 LED's will be affordable.

Just when LCD's were becoming more affordable, BAM! here comes LED Tv's.

Tv's are becoming like PC's, obsolute in 6 months. #lgoledroadmap

@chasper14: Nobody's forcing you to upgrade just because a new technology exists. Only a total idiot would run out and buy an OLED at ten times the cost of a picture-quality-equivalent plasma. You can wait until it's at a price parity, in 6 years (not months). #lgoledroadmap

What JVC 3D monitor did you test? JVC's 3D monitor does not require expensive shutter glasses and produces no flicker.

It's beautiful, I would never use it.
BUT, there are several interesting ideas there to create something beautiful AND useful...
The very definition of concept.

Ditching that keyboard would be the first thing. Make the screen touchable, then no problem implementing a virtual keyboard there.

But I'm guessing the computer parts would be on the keyboard... still, better to put some keys on it (at least IMHO).

Finally, everyday I say a little pray for the day gadget makers stop with the glossy crap. #samsungamoledconcepts

If only hardware manufacturers watched some anime. They'd find so many cool ideas.

So anime FTW, yes?

Post Scriptum
Yes I did draw that picture, so please ask for permission before faping to it - I mean, use it or modify it.

Namaste

Imagine the awesome tablet PC that could be created from combining this with an e-ink display. Put the e-ink display first with the transparent OLED layered on top. Then the OLED can go transparent when reading books, but can come to life when doing normal computing. #lgamoledconcepts

How exactly would we benefit from a transparent display? The internet + zillions of widgets and apps that are already running cause enough ADD as it is. #lgamoledconcepts

@InsertBullets: But I can already share my porn with everyone, from 1 side of my display.

@Maori_Yelir: The last thing we need is HUDs in cars that show more than just speed. I can totally see another yuppie douche running over other people/cars because there HUD somehow distracted them.

EDIT: I think I know 1 use for them. Its so all the idiots at college who foolishly walk around with open notebooks can see where they are going.
