1) A base so it doesn't fall over - that is sure to be quite thick.
2) Somewhere to run cords to it.

You can only make it so thing before you're spending money unnecessarily.]]>May 28th 2008 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/sonys-0-3mm-oled-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/sonys-0-3mm-oled-eyes-on/
Eventually, this will mean thinner cellphones and thinner LCD monitors - or, the ability to make advertising displays thin and energy efficient even if they are 200 inches.

If you add this to the piezo electric speaker film in development, you'd be able to make a display WITH SPEAKERS built in thinner than any other display ever made. The implications of which would be remarkably futuristic.

Imagine being able to watch TV on a system as thin as Bush's Iraq Exit strategy. ]]>May 28th 2008 2:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/sonys-0-3mm-oled-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/sonys-0-3mm-oled-eyes-on/
But as far as cells go, they need to be thick to be handled properly anyway (that's what she said). And monitors that are that thin still need a base and places to plug 'em in.

Sure, I can see how having the ability to make a thin display would be cool in certain rare applications (very limited ones). And yes energy consumption is an issue (even though there are far worse energy offenders than televisions).

But there are far, far more useful ways for Sony to spend their R&D at this particular point in time, methinks. A product is only as thin as its thickest element, and when you slap a 0.3mm display on a base the size of the one I am using right now, the whole idea becomes moot.]]>May 28th 2008 3:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/sonys-0-3mm-oled-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/sonys-0-3mm-oled-eyes-on/
That should read: Imagine being able to watch TV on a system as thin as the truths in the environmentalist movement....

I'm much more concerned about picture quality and price than a screen so thin I can slice my bread with it.]]>May 28th 2008 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/sonys-0-3mm-oled-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/sonys-0-3mm-oled-eyes-on/May 28th 2008 7:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/sonys-0-3mm-oled-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/sonys-0-3mm-oled-eyes-on/May 28th 2008 4:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/sonys-0-3mm-oled-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/sonys-0-3mm-oled-eyes-on/May 28th 2008 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/sonys-0-3mm-oled-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/sonys-0-3mm-oled-eyes-on/May 28th 2008 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/sonys-0-3mm-oled-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/sonys-0-3mm-oled-eyes-on/
Let's say I took my laptop apart. The screen in the laptop is only a few mm thick. It's connected to the laptop with a little ribbon cable. On the other end of that cable is all the other necessary equipment to actually have a working display.

To actually make thinner displays they need to shrink other stuff, like the power supplies, rather than the screen itself.

Actually, now that I think about it, why do people build all that stuff into the display? One pain in the ass of setting up a home theater is sending all those cables to the display. What if you separated the screen from the rest of the hardware. You could put that hardware next to the DVD player, consoles and everything else. Then just have one tiny cable that goes to the 0.3mm screen hanging on the wall with a couple picture frame hooks. Wiring and space savings would be amazing. ]]>May 28th 2008 2:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/sonys-0-3mm-oled-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/sonys-0-3mm-oled-eyes-on/
I think this is where a lot of the future application will/should be. Yes, there will always be a larger box that is needed to connect inputs to the screen, but as technology improves that box will get smaller and smaller or eventually go wireless so that you could plug everything into a box and only have a power cord coming from the screen on the wall. Wall mounts could be shrunken since there would be less weight and the screen could very well just become part of the wall. Even then, you could just add a faceplate below the screen and plug in all your video inputs there.

Yes, currently it's quite novel and expensive but when it becomes widely available and affordable it'll be the new standard. ]]>May 28th 2008 3:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/sonys-0-3mm-oled-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/sonys-0-3mm-oled-eyes-on/Call me when there's integrated wireless HD and no more gravity.]]>May 28th 2008 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/sonys-0-3mm-oled-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/sonys-0-3mm-oled-eyes-on/

The only person who knows how to take pictures is the dude that reviewed the Dash Express.

I for one cant wait to be able to watch films as they should be seen and not having to guess at what is going on in dark scenes

The first one of you to say "Oh but LCD's have good black levels now, my Samsung 61xhyteyeyXTRABRIGHT3343 has great blacks." gets a punch.

Can't use a flash (as shown in the first photo), low light means a noisy photo if you don't use the flash (as shown in some of the other photos). Also as the screen is so thin that there are only a few angles that you can effectively take the shot from (even less angles are available when you take reflections into account).]]>May 29th 2008 9:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/sonys-0-3mm-oled-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/sonys-0-3mm-oled-eyes-on/May 29th 2008 12:36PM
