Panasonic and Sumitomo see eye to eye in this OLED game, big screens due in 2010
Ready with the proper retort to all those rumors, false starts and misquotations, the Nikkei is reporting that Panasonic and Sumitomo are zeroed in and have the tunnel vision to deliver the 40-inch plus OLED HDTVs we've been waiting for within fiscal 2010. Once organic electroluminescent product is flooding the streets, the plan is apparently to cut the power requirements of the bright, slim displays to less than a third of current LCDs by 2015, right around the time Samsung thinks this tech will be ready for the mainstream, anyone else care to make a prediction?

Awesome!
OLED TVs will become mainstream on December 21st 2012.
the McFly's had one in 2015, so yeah, December 21st 2012.
I reckon the day before would be better for marketing... 20.12.2012
oh cool by then i would have painstakingly just finished my law degree, should i reward myself?...
am i missing something?
@Dave Chappelle
Nothing special, just another end of the world.
I wonder how our planet survived for billions of years with ends of the world happening every 2-3 years... Maybe its time to stop panicking and start looking for a job?
OLED TVs will become self-aware August 29, 2012.
I'm not waiting for it to go mainstream. If it is here, I'll get it.
$50,000 each.
So, who's going to take two?
I own a Sony XEL-1 from 2007 ...Lick me!
Early adopter = first gen loser.
@BarCODE Until 2010 maybe you're dead...Looser!
Your screen will blue rot before then.
Buttman thats awesome, but I said I would slap anyone who purchased an 11 inch TV for over 2k. (_SLAP_). As for OLED to go mainstream I can not wait. I do not see why some companies are going to the ultra thin LED now knowing they are going to switch to OLED soon enough. They should just speed up the process of OLED and forget the transition.

I hope by 2013 we see a Kuro OLED. C'mon Obama, make it happen!
Aren't kuros plasma technology?
And aren't Pioneer pulling out of the TV game altogether??
Yeah they dropped out of the TV game....
And what does Obama have to do with the OLED industry coming to fruition any sooner than expected? Some of you people.... sigh.
What do you mean, YOU people?
Obama brings Hope, thats what he has to do with things.
No way I see Samsung allowing Panasonic, Toshiba, and others beat them to shipping out the first large screen OLED's. If Panasonic has one ready for 2010, then Samsung won't be too far behind, if not beat them to the market. OLED will be the next future market, and all the big tv manufacturers are going to want to own the market share before any other.
Sumitomo tires and they gotta be run-flats, TV where the horn go boy can you top that?
OLED TV's....Boring!!!
It's OLED wallpaper or nothing!
I would definitely punch someone in the jeans for that tv
Beat me to it. I think that's my favorite Lonely Island track.
