Next-Generation Displays Coming Soon
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 08:00 AM
"Sanyo Electric and Eastman Kodak have started commercial production of color active-matrix organic light emitting diode displays that deliver a brighter picture and richer colors than today's liquid crystal displays, while consuming less power. The first commercial production of organic light emitting diode displays (OLEDs) by any display maker, the panels are rolling off the line at a plant in Japan run by SK Display, a joint venture of the two companies (Sanyo holds a two-thirds stake). Kodak and Sanyo have been working on basic technology for OLED displays for several years and each company holds key patents covering the technology.
The first production displays are 2.2-inch models destined for use in a Kodak digital still camera that the camera maker launched at the annual convention of the Photo Marketing Association (PMA) this week. Other features of the EasyShare LS633 camera include a 3.1-megapixel image sensor and 3X optical zoom. It will be available in Europe, Asia, and Australia in April for around $400."
