Sony & Idemitsu partner for uber efficient OLED tvs and monitors!!
do i only like OLEDs because they use the word 'organic'?
....or maybe it's cause they're so darn efficient and cute!
...either way, OLEDs are HOT! Multi configurational, they use way less electricity than even a plasma or (traditional) LCD as they have no backlighting (they make pictures by sending electricity through an organic matter (which would suck, if it was being passed through say, a walrus, but since it's something cooked up in a petri dish, it's all-right with me!
so the story out of Electronic Engineering Times yesterday, is that Sony and a company called Idemitsu (I'm taking a guess here, that they're in Japan too) joined forced regarding their OLED development! They're going to share all intellectual property, and patents ( wow! a nice story about sharing and co-operation in business! what a bonus!)
so that's what we're going to get, cheaper more efficient better pictures, and they get to share and play nice!
Incidentally, if you wanted to get in on the OLED racket, but fear that you aren't nearly as bug as a Sony or a Phillips, so how could you possibly compete? Well here's your solution! Anders Electronics just released a kit for any young aspiring OLED practitioners...the kit contains a value-for-money development kit that also contains source code for firmware as well as extensive application notes. The new kit reduces the cost of entry to OLED technology, and aids rapid integration of OLEDs into a wide range of electronic displays. Oh, did I mention it's free, too? go get 'em!
