Sony unleashes a 0.3mm thick OLED

11型有機ELパネルを横から見ると紙のような薄さ
Well there you are.this is real.that is a organic light emitting diode display that is 0.3mm thick...yes as thick as a sheet of paper... thats how small our displays will be that is if we can afford them..Claims are that the 0.3mm-thick panel has similar characteristics to the XEL-1, matching the older model's 960 x 540 resolution.Hopefully, the thinner model will also feature the XEL-1’s staggering 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio too.
THE SONY XEL-1

If u are lost the XEL is an electroluminescent (EL) display that's print-paper thin revealed by Sony. The Sony EL display is based on organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology that uses electroluminescent organic materials. OLED panels are extremely thin because they don't need backlights. The electroluminescent layer contains a polymer substance that directly converts electricity to light.The most cutting of cutting-edge technology is always a sticker shocker. Sony currently sells an 11-inch EL TV (960×540) for a staggering 190,000 yen, or just under $2,000. That's right, an 11-inch display. Even smaller than the displays on subnotebooks, which typically come with 12-inch LCDs. The image quality is stunning, however, producing the best--or close to the best--of all of the following: color, contrast, viewing angles, and refresh rates. "It has a superhigh contrast ratio (allegedly, 1 million to one), it boasts faster response times than LCD or plasma, it looks incredibly sharp with colors that really pop--and because OLED screens don't require a backlight, they're more energy efficient than plasma or LCD :-)
