Still waiting on that big-screen
OLED TV? Yeah, so are we, but here's some news that could mean they're coming soon: OLED tech has just been obsoleted. Seriously. We still can't even afford an
11-inch model and now we have to start pining for something new: OLET. That's Organic Light Emitting Transistor, tech that researcher Michele Muccini at the Institute of Nanustructured Materials has just proven can be between two and 100 times as efficient as OLED. OLETs rely on three layers of material, with the bottom layers carrying a charge, the middle layer (the meat in this high-tech sandwich) emitting photons when excited by the bottom, and the top layer selectively letting those photos through. All three combined are just 62nm thick. It's this separation of layers and horizontal flow of current that gives OLET its efficiency and it's believed that it could not only be used for (next) next-generation displays but also for on-chip optical interconnects. When will an OLET HDTV will hit the market? Don't even go there.

OLET there be OLET.
@Nitesh I like OLET, alot.

3D OLEV makes this look like child's play.
In b4 we never hear of this again
What ever happened to SED?
SED is DED.
Oh, hey, maybe not. Looks like Canon is still working on them quietly, or at least was as of a year ago.
.......
WHAT THE HELL??
OLEDs already use almost no power, and these things can be up to 100x as efficient as OLED? Really? That means that it's practically using NOTHING.
Grr. What's next? OLEA? (Organic Light Admitting Air)
@GadgetTamer, air admits to nothing!
@incognito
What does air need to hide?
@Plothole, ask GadgetTimer, he thinks it hides Organic Light...
@incognito Well, at this rate, it won't be long before it CAN EMIT light
Sorry about the typo. Lol. Didn't have my coffee this mornin.
That all looks like theories, now show us some samples and it better be better than Super AMOLED.
I wonder if they could do a OLET monitor/processor, for every Visual OLET, there's 3 processing OLET, should get quite a few Gigapixels on it and it would run Crysis at that resolution.
Sweet, it'll be the first TV I buy in 2023.
Hopefully this is immune to the flickering that occurs when OLEDs are subjected to WiFi signals in the same device.
@aschettler
never happened on my Zune HD...
@masta vaan Mine Zune HD's screen must be defective, then, cause it happens every time I'm connected to a WiFi network.

@aschettler Oops... double-ish post. Sorry.
It'll probably be on shelves during Second Half next year
Uh, 100 times as efficient as OLED? I don't know OLED efficiency figures off the top of my head, but given that LEDs are about 6% efficient and OLED I'm pretty sure are better than LEDs... 100x that would put it well over 100% efficiency, i.e. a perpetual motion machine. Right. Get back to me on how well that works out.
@Gene
Gotta work on your math. 100% more efficient than 6% efficiency = 12% efficiency.
@Mackanov Oops, sorry, not 100%, 100x... that'll be 600% indeed.
@Mackanov "According to new research, they are more than 100 times more efficient than equivalent OLEDs, and over 2 times more efficient than optimized OLED with the same emitting layer."
So now it makes sense.
Orgasmic displays? That would be xtube.
I just want a 42" OLED with an RGBY sub-pixel set, heck, stick cyan and magenta in there too.
@Kromatik, NEEDZ. MOAR. COLORZ.
Waiting for AMOLET before I pull out the omelette jokes...
Probably be used by the Military first for Augmented Reality Goggles/Helmet. A'la Ironman/Robocop
and i thought OLED was the shit, so now your telling me this is 100 times the shit? oh shit!
What's wrong with current nanotech being a trillionth of the width of a human hair? Why can't my cells enjoy some super high-definition TV? Can somebody please think of the microbiological living systems!?? They need to be loved too!
My question is, do all the colors have the same lifespan, or will blue still be a problem as it is for OLED?
Poor folks still using CRT's :)
