It's the world's thinnest OLED TV.
LG will reportedly showcase a prototype OLED TV at IFA 2010 in Berlin next week that will surely turn heads.
Slated to be the "world's thinnest," the new LG display will measure a mere 0.29-cm in thickness while sporting an impressive 31-inch screen. The panel will also support both 2D and 3D modes, and feature a refresh rate of 600 Hz.
Joining the LG OLED panel are three other 3D-capable displays: the 0.88-cm LG LEX8, the LEX9, and the PX950N 3D TVs. These are also slated for a reveal at IFA 2010 starting Friday, September 3.
Although the technology is impressive, it will be interesting to see the 0.29-cm display's eventual pricetag. As CNET points out, LG's EL9500 15-inch OLED TV already retails for $2,500 USD here in the States--a 50-inch Panasonic 3D plasma TV retails for around the same price.
Based on those numbers, the 0.29-cm display could retail for $5,000 USD if not more.
It must be a typo, can't be anything else..
It's not a typo
they are just too cool
Though, I must ask, what's its static contrast, colour gamut, response time, light output, power use, life expectancy etc. You know, all those standard goodies.
No matter how excellent the picture is, the size is probably a bit too small for me. But good news to hear nonetheless. 0.29cm thick is pretty crazy.
Its LED. There is no moving crystal involved. It can go way much faster just like the difference between the regular hard drives and SSD.
have you not seen teh youtube vid of teh guy bitting an OLED screen with a hammer? the stuff is like bendy plastic, they are hard to break as theres no glass needed
