Organic TV may be a few years away from making it into your living room, but the ultra thin screens are being put to use more rapidly in another device - mobile phones. One of the advantages of OLED screens is their power saving qualities versus traditional LCD screens.
Last week, Samsung showed off a OLED screen in a cell phone. Though OLED had seemed inpractical for small screen sizes because it was believed the lifespan would be cut short on smaller screens, Samsung has found a way around that with its PenTile technology which takes full advantage of the science of our eyes and delivers the same quality picture using fewer subpixels. The new technology should allow the OLED phone displays to last 5000 hours or so. Phones using Organic TV techonology may begin appearing in late 2009.
As OLED technology advances, we are sure to see broader adoption of the space saving, and energy saving, technology.
