FPD International 2009 is nearly upon us, and as we've seen in years past it's a time of wondrous innovation and gratuitous side-shots of impossibly thin displays. Leading off the pack this year is AUO, teasing a number of new panels and technologies that may or may not rock your living rooms sometime in the next two to four years. Chief among them is a 14-inch, 1080p OLED display with a 100,000:1 contrast ratio and 16 million colors. There will also be a range of switchable and glasses-free 2D/3D displays ranging from 8- to 65-inches, a ridiculously wide 58-inch 2.35:1 TV with a 2560 x 1080 resolution, and, naturally, a skinny LCD -- in this case the 65-inch beauty pictured below that's just 7.9mm on the Z plane despite pumping out a claimed 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio. Good stuff? Yes. The craziest displays we'll see this week? Not a chance. 
cool stuff

Moar oleds 4 less monies plz kthxbye
Ok, now fade away.
OLED is the future
Ok. Some1 please explain to me the use of stuffing 1080p into a 14 inch display?
please explain to my why you wouldn't want to....
Yeah I was going to ask this. I bet it looks amazing but can a monitor that small even benefit from all that res?
Actually, I could use one of those as a somewhat portable screen for demonstrating of my company's wide dynamic range 1080p CMOS image sensors. Not a large market, I admit!
there has to be a certain pixel density where anything better isn't detected by the human eye.
I'd love a panel of that res in my laptop, I have a 15" 1600x1200 Thinkpad now and would love a 14" version (or, if I really must, as in this case, a 16:9 14" version). Even higher would be better again. If that sounds like high pixel density, well... a 4:3 15" panel with the same density as my phone would be about 3600x2700, so clearly there IS a use for something that high (even if it's to get cut up into smaller panels for other devices).
mouth open wide. That screen will cut you
I would love to see this in person. I really wonder what it looks like.
that's what she said.
why would someone want/need a 14inch fullhd display, is too little for that res
Laptop.
Woohoo, maybe OLED prices won't stay insanely super ridiculously high too long if AUO also has panels on the way. Come on competition!
WANT!
If there is one thing I like about CRTs, it's that I can run them at any resolution I need.
OS X in 2400x1800 anyone?
LCDs can't touch this (T221 and clones don't count!)
On some systems Ive seen you can pick an arbitrary resolution for your screen, but what happens is you'll only see a portion of it and you'll have to scroll your desktop.
CRTs with a 121khz or higher horizontal scan frequency can easily max out almost all modern card's top resolution, which is usually 2560x1920@57hz.
There is no scanning here.
on 1080p 14-incher -
...uhmmm, HD movies on a very small laptop? If my current 14-inch laptop had that resolution, I'd be able to break out my DIGISTOR external Blu-Ray drive on it, watch Blu-Ray movies on long trips.
Not very "marketable" but useful for me just the same.
Heck, if I had a 14" FullHD OLED screen on my laptop that would be the only thing I would want to watch movies on, even if I had a 65" LCD... OLEDs are amazing.
I wonder if 4 of the panels can be used to create a joined larger screen.
there are many 30 inch LCDs (more than 10 according to http://30inchlcds.com) that just having an OLED is the large one will might be a popular option
