OLED or SED? Which technology you looking forward to more?

I have been looking forward to seeing these technologies physically
for about half a year now, and was wondering what you guys are looking
forward to more?

The OLED is where I think all the technology fun is going to be. It
is possible for OLEDs to be printed on more flexible substrates,
meaning they could be embedded on clothing or you could have a rollup
screen. And the unbelievably "paper-thin" OLEDs are going to be
amazing to behold. They already have a photo out of a 40" OLED, that
is as thin as a CD jewel case. They are currently having trouble with
the blue OLEDs since there is a problem with it only having a life of
around 5,000 hours. But recently, they have been experimenting with
replacing chemical component for a phosphorescent one, and have
increased the hours to 20,000 hours.

I like the fact that the SED is going to be sort of an LCD combined
with a CRT. It will have superior viewing angles, black levels, and
pixel response time (inherent in CRTs), while having the slim feature
and high contrast ratio seen in plasma and LCD technologies. Canon,
who is working with Toshiba on the SED technology, have announced that
it will also consume less power than LCD displays, which is a huge
plus. It has been said that the technology is expected to hit in late
07, but then again it has been moved back plenty of times.

Imagine the drop in prices for LCDs and Plasmas after these things
have been out for a while and they start to get more competitively
priced.

What are your thoughts? You guys looking forward to these
technologies as much as I am?

I too am looking forward to that stuff coming out. If for no other reason
the fact
that once they start coming out the current stuff will drop more in price to
a point
I can afford them. But, I wonder just how long that will be in coming?
Supposedly,
OLED is going to start showing up in tv's this year. ( it's already used in
some
cell phone displays) It really depends on wheather or not the big names
decide to
switch over, or add the technology to their current lines. Which could be a
hinderence
since they already have so much invested in new fabs for the larger LCD &
Plasma panels.
Maybe, by the time it does arrive (in an affordable price range) some of the
DRM stuff will
go away. ( like what is starting to happen with the music industry)

Listen to this:
"Toshiba's President Nishida cited the active matrix organic EL
(electroluminescence)(OLED :jens) display as a potential successor to the
SED. That is why Toshiba invests in the polycrystalline Si (p-Si) TFT line
(at Toshiba Matsu****a Display Technology Co., Ltd.), he added. However,
"The technology has only become applicable to a 3- or 4-inch display and
it is impossible to create a 40-inch organic EL display in 2 to 3 years.
It is even difficult to achieve it in 2015 to 2016. We will pursue the SED
until then, but management requires to consider about 10, 20 years ahead,"
Nishida said."

Toshiba has just withdrawn from the cooperation with Canon to make the SED
television. That pospones the arrival with a further year. Now Canon is
alone on the project.

So what my dreams are right now and in the forseable future is a Plasma
TV. Although the plasma is "only" 1080 X 768 it shows the HD content far
better than a LCD with 1920 X 1080. Everybody that has seen it agrees. The
black levels, the depth, the contrast levels. It is also superior in
showing SD TV, and that is a strong point. SD TV on a LCD is a
catastrophe!IMHO.;-)
Plasma Tv will arive in the foreseable future with even higher definition.
I just saw that they have made a prototype of a 42" in full HD.:

That is the future in a long perspective, i think.

SED near term
OLED long term

I fully expect the next HDTV I buy will be an SED.

But...
I expect the BEST HDTV I will ever buy will be an OLED.
I also expect the biggest will be OLED and the cheapest will be OLED.

An unusual combination.

My thoughts are that one should believe what is being delivered, and
stop believing the press releases.

The OLED suffers from life problems, 20,000 hours (if they ever manage it)
is still way shorter than LCD or plasma. They have yet to demonstrate actually
delivering the panels, and they have yet to demonstrate how the driving electronics
will be any cheaper than the other technologies.

The SED has been overdue for some time now, and keeps getting pushed back.
It might be nice *if* it ever happens, but it will have lots of catching up
to do with respect to plasma. And, the claims of its performance are just
that - claims - until people start delivering them.

Errr.... Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but... What on earth
are you talking about???

High contrast ration seen in Plasma and LCD??? The contrast ratio
of Plasma is pretty close to an utterly intolerable for someone
with reasonably good eyesight and reasonable level of tolerance.

LCD is so unbelievably below the absolutely minimally tolerable
level in terms of contrast ratio.

SEDs reportedly have excellent contrast ratio *UNLIKE* Plasma or
LCD (and that unlike has such particular emphasis --- the contrast
ratio of SEDs reportedly is unbleievably good, whereas for Plasma
is particularly bad, and for LCDs is beyond unbelievably bad).

Again, someone corrects me if I'm wrong?

I'm looking forward to the Star Trek holodeck - hitting the shelves this
Christmas, they say! lol

Dang, I missed that announcement!! Hope it's within my price range.
If not, I'll have to hang out at Circut City or Best Buy and check it out!

It's not quite that bad, both SED's and OLED's have been demo'd in lab
versions for years.

I have seen both with my own eyes at SID conferences. Both are beautiful,
though the OLED was by far the brightest, the darkest, the purest, the
fastest, the deepest/largest gamut, the finest pitch, the most seamless
display I have ever seen.

Production models will vary for sure, but the potential for bright as the
sun, impossibly beautiful imagery is certainly within OLED's grasp, assuming
the electrochemical aging stuff is solved.

OLED has some promise, SED might have more but I haven't seen a good
description on how it works.
