Room for one more? Panasonic wiggles into OLED TV game

Alright, we get it. SED actually is not the wave of the future for televisions, but OLED most probably is. At present, we've got Sony, Toshiba, Samsung and LG Display (among others) all vying for your future dollars, and since competition in the HDTV space is so grand for consumers, we won't be kvetching too much about yet another entrant. DigiTimes has it that Matsushita (parent company of Panasonic) is looking to begin production of OLED displays "in the future." That's it. No juicy clues as to when, no inside information about panel sizes -- nothing. Just enough to tease you and leave you in a state of panic for the foreseeable future.

... not to mention those tv's will have a frame width that is too large, ehh ?
Johan S, you are the biggest whine shitter. I am sick of reading through your unbelievable stupidity.

[Johan S @ Apr 24th 2008 8:04PM]

Aww, you're whining about me whining.

The blue component to an OLED display has not been an issue for quite a while now.

Makes sense...they already have OLED displays in some of their product lines. If they are already investing R&D there, might as well spend more, but spread the cost over various divisions.

…is it sad that when I read 'TV game', I thought they meant those little things you hook up to your TV that have video games built into them?

SED Dead. Hardly. New Joint Venture closed March 31st Masushita (Panasonic), Canon, Hitachi. You will see SED TV. It works now. They have a 55" and 70" models coming. Visit the Toshiba/Canon plant in Himeji. The hearing regard Canon's Appeal of the verdict is June 2nd.
Whatever the verdict you will see SED this year.

The more competition the better. Maybe I'll be able to buy one of these in 3 or 4 years for something approaching a reasonable price.

I like the way you're thinking Wendy. Not much SED news lately though. Please contact me if you have any recent news. Thanks. By the way, if SED didn't rhyme with DEAD, would we have such negativity on that particular technology?
