Evolution of displays

Today ive been reading this on tech power up and i quote:
"Sony launched 17-inch and 24-inch Trimaster EL professional-grade monitors, which are based on the organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology. OLED is not to be confused with LED-backlit LCD, which is merely LCD with LED illumination instead of CCFL. OLED is a kind of a flat-panel display technology in which electroluminescent organic compounds spread across a film generate images. Hence, OLED provides far greater picture clarity, and eliminates pixellation, a problem encountered with low pixel-density LCD displays. OLED-generated images are more CRT-like in terms of fidelity. Sony’s new Trimaster OLED monitors are targeted at the broadcasting industry and professional studios that seek bleeding-edge image quality."

Both Trimaster OLED monitors feature resolutions of 1920 x 1080 (full-HD), with 10-bit drivers, 100 cd/m² brightness, and 178° viewing angles. Display inputs include HDMI, DisplayPort, and SDI, which is used in professional development houses. Carrying the model numbers BVM-E250 and BVM-E170, they will cost $28,900 and $15,710, respectively.

How long before we see such displays in laptops for 200 dollars and not 15 thousand ?

 

Well Sony released its oled tv last year. 15 inches of 1mm goodness. Most retail at £1800 ~$2500 now. Taking the fact that it is a tv and not just a panel, it would set the panel being around two grand. As Sony haven't even put them in their vaio's I doubt we will see them anytime before 2012/13 for a reasonable price. It would be sweet though, I would defs choose it over a 3d panel.

 

OLED should be able to do 3D anyway as it can handle much higher refresh rates.

 

Why in gods name do they cost this much money ?

 

If only we got these in WUXGA. Damn shame that no one wants to give us 16:10 anymore.
