Toshiba Matsushita announces 20.8-inch OLED display

It's not the biggest OLED display we've seen, but Toshiba Matsushita Display Technology's new 20.8-inch model is apparently the largest yet developed that's based on low-temperature poly-silicon technologies. That key distinction supposedly not only reduces power consumption, but actually increases the brightness of the display -- certainly not an insignificant feat. On the downside, the display's 1,280 x 768 resolution isn't exactly all that impressive for something this size, although we suspect/hope that'll get a boost by the time this is eventually commercialized. Unfortunately, it's not exactly clear when that might happen, although the company does seem seem confident that the technology will wind up in the "next-generation" of TV sets and monitors.

But how long is the life of the display... isn't that the biggest problem with OLED right now?

If that screen is 20.8 inches, how big is the frame?

MMMmmm, Organic LED: low power AND grown w/o pesticides...fits right in with my company "green policy". :-P

Um, yeah, the bezel just isn't big enough for me. I want all bezel, and very little screen. Great design you goofs.

I mean, is that ridiculous bezel really necessary? Or do they have it cause it makes the display appear to be bigger. So lame.
