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.
