What are your thoughts on this one?

Taken from Wikepedia: "An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) is a thin-film light-emitting diode (LED) in which the emissive layer is an organic compound. These devices promise to be much less costly to fabricate than traditional LEDs. When the emissive electroluminescent layer is polymeric, varying amounts of OLEDs can be deposited in arrays on a screen using simple "printing" methods to create a graphical colour display, for use as television screens, computer displays, portable system screens, and in advertising and information board applications. OLED may also be used in lighting devices. OLEDs are available as distributed sources while the inorganic LEDs are point sources of light. Prior to standardization, OLED technology was also referred to as OEL or Organic Electro-Luminescence.

One of the great benefits of an OLED display over the traditional LCD displays is that OLEDs do not require a backlight to function. This means that they draw far less power, can last longer on the same battery charge, and be of use with small portable devices which have mostly used monochrome low-resolution displays to conserve power."

Also, "But by 2010, display technology analyst Paul Semenza of ISuppli forecasts, factories will be churning out 289 million active-matrix OLED displays annually. He estimates about 88 percent of those will end up in mobile phones.

OLED displays will crop up in several other places, too: In certain high-end 2005-model-year cars (such as Aston Martin's DB9), the dashboard offers an active-matrix color OLED information display. A few Pioneer car stereos are available that already use monochrome OLED displays.

And OLED televisions are coming, says Jim Sandufski, Samsung's vice president of marketing for visual displays; but don't start salivating yet. Sandufski says that Samsung, which showed off a prototype 21-inch display in January at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, is several years away from mass-producing OLED TVs."

$0.00 - < Reg. fee, IMHO.

All the best!

[SKG]

Thanks Jeff.

 

[Jeff]

You're welcome.

 

[rokoroko]

I see You are serfing on the same oled wave!

great name,

can not put any appraisal - we will see in the 3-4 years who will hit the bulleye first

roko

 

[betterdayz4]

great name. will be worth a lot in 3/4 years as roko says.. right now marginally above reg fee, but a great gamble. i would buy for 5 years and hold.

 

[Australia]

it think OLED.TV is better :hehe:

 

[ApocComputing]

reg fee. what do OLEDs have to do with tv?

 

[user-7256]

OLEDs is what can make pop bottle wrappers play little movies, or cereal boxes have animated ads on it...

It's a great technology that fits the .tv extention well. Low $xxx at least, but plural kills.

 

[fredo]

$0 now, a lot of $ if the technology becomes the standard! However, oled.tv should have more value than the plurial.

Found some info on oled (article is from 2003):

it think OLED.TV is better :hehe:

Hands down OLED is better than OLEDs, but it was regged. I got second place.

i actually picked it (oled.tv) up for $34year which was suprising. i thought it would have been a premium name for sure.

true, oled is the new lcd & plasma (in about 4 years) :imho:

Good job Australia!! You definitely have a winner. I think you will see some activity by late 06 and early 07, much earlier that 4 years. Lots of products coming into play very soon.

i hope it is earlier but i think it will be 2010 before its mainstream.

SO sweet! http://www.akihabaranews.com/en/news_9619.html

 

[rokoroko]

great names and news ,I am looking forward on future with You guys

roko

 

[SKG]

Just receiced an initial offer in low XXX, what do you think?

 

[rokoroko]

Its the same like me with stock exchange -

if You are not in press with money I wouldnt sell unless it will rise to some XXXX or better low xx.xxx offer

just my opinion

A new article regarding OLEDs:

German researchers claim first transparent OLED pixels

John Blau, IDG News Service

If you've seen the movie "Minority Report" and marveled at the transparent computer screens used by Tom Cruise, you'll appreciate what German researchers have concocted in their labs: entirely transparent OLED (organic light emitting diode) pixels.

The researchers, located at the Technical University of Braunschweig, are claiming the development to be a world's first.

Their approach is to use transparent TFTs (thin-film transistors) made of a 100-nanometer-thick layer of zinc-tin-oxide, which transmits more than 90 percent of visible light. Such transistors are more often made of silicon, which is used for LCDs (liquid crystal displays) but is highly absorptive in the visible part of the spectrum.

In the transparent displays, the TFTs and the OLED pixels are positioned next to each other. The OLED pixel can be placed on top of the TFT driver circuit without interference.

In addition, because the TFT layers are thin, they can be deposited on large areas with conventional techniques, and because these techniques can be performed at temperatures below 200 degrees Celsius, cheap, flexible plastic substrates can be used.

In the devices developed by the researchers, the brightness of the OLED pixels varied from 0 to 700 candelas per square meter by changing the voltage of the driving TFTs. By comparison, typical computer screens today reach a brightness of approximately 300 candelas per square meter.

Thomas Riedl, head of the organic and inorganic lasers team of the High-Frequency Institute at the Technical University of Braunschweig expects the first prototype transparent OLED displays to be available in two years.

Transparent displays could have numerous applications, including screens that supply surgeons with additional information in their field of view or car windscreens that allow drivers to view instructions while driving, according to Riedl.
