South Korean scientists claim development of "true blue" for OLED displays

It's no secret that OLED gurus have had the toughest time improving the life of blue luminance to match the lifespans of its red and green counterparts, but a team of South Korean scientists have purportedly stumbled upon (or developed, as it were) a breakthrough "true blue" material that can "accelerate the development of next-generation organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays." Up until now, scientists have been able to create highly efficient green and red OLED materials, but the inability to make a true blue OLED material was really holding things back. So, now that this little hurdle has been hopped, how's about we get some big screen OLED HDTVs out to the people?

How about we get some big, cheap and beautiful OLED screens that last for 10 years to people of the whole world?

Most people in the world have bigger worries than HDTVs. Like trying to find a BB Storm.

Or paying the mortgage. I'm sticking with my nice cheap DLP right now.

Sell everything you have, strip the copper plumbing, leave the house keys in your mailbox and get a nice HDTV.

OK, that does it! Give me my OLED!

"true blue"?
Aussie Aussie Aussie!

incidentally, blue is my favourite colour.
(and I already aware that you don't care)

Epic grammar failure, self. You missed an 'am' in the parenthetical sentence.
Loser. Also, capitalise more.

[Patriks7 @ Nov 24th 2008 4:39AM]

Dude, are you OK? :p

[ED @ Nov 24th 2008 4:45AM]

I rather enjoy messing with people's minds. But there's nothing wrong with ME. Nope. :D

[anantha92 @ Nov 24th 2008 6:06AM]

Just needs to get laid thats all :P

[ED @ Nov 24th 2008 6:11AM]

sometimes people appreciate my weird sense of humour. today is not one of those days, it appears.

@anantha92: I'll take your word for it :P

[PyRo1509 @ Nov 24th 2008 4:43AM]

Now I can watch blues clues with satisfaction

[ED @ Nov 24th 2008 4:51AM]

lol, good one.
One of these days I should check on Wikipedia to see what that show's actually about. Nah, can't be bothered. :P
(I find it hard to believe that I enjoyed kids' tv shows when I was a kid.)

You'll probably look on the things you do now as a teen someday and have the same thought.

[anantha92 @ Nov 24th 2008 6:08AM]

What? There is no blue in porn.

[ED @ Nov 24th 2008 6:09AM]

um... I already do that.

[AlDeezy @ Nov 24th 2008 5:01AM]

yeaaaaaaaa! even though I have no idea what your talking about concerning the importance of the three colors. Yeaaaaaa!

Can we get Obama to push/pass the free trade agreement (KORUS FTA) with South Korea ASAP?

This is awesome.

[Temmy @ Nov 24th 2008 11:48AM]

now OLEDs will also become bags of hurt.

[Samboini @ Nov 24th 2008 2:28PM]

My balls are a bag of hurt, figuratively speaking.

[Jake Tobak @ Nov 24th 2008 3:56PM]

I thought it said True Blood (I like it, gth) and thought they made an LCD that would last longer by having a blood like substance on the back side extending the life of each OLED :P
I mean, organic stuff likes blood, right?
