We know there was some chatter about this back in January, but now it's official: today Sony announced they will be producing OLED (organic light-emitting diode) TVs before year's end.
What's the big deal, you ask? Well, OLEDs can be made thinner and lighter than other technologies, meaning Sony's first OLED TV will be eleven inches across, and 3 millimeters thick. This will be followed by a 27-incher that's less than a centimeter in depth. Shipping charges for these bad boys has got to be next to nothing.

The last time I researched this technology, it was apparent that OLED's have a very short life and do fade/lose brightness very quickly.
Did Sony overcome this?
WOW. These are simply brilliant. I can't wait to see them in person.
please, please, please can I have a screen like this on an 8" Origami UMPC machine. Low power, good readability... what's not to love ;)
