The Worlds thinnest LCD?

With the advent of HD or High Definition television, we are all faced with a debacle we have to replace the old technology Television Sets with HD compatible sets.

The unfortunate predicament is HD television sets are expensive and to a huge degree inaccessible to the broad public. Sony may have developed an answer for this, Organic TV. It is alleged to be brighter and crispier than LCD and even Plasma and only 3mm thick, it can also be rolled up and tucked away in small storage area.

What drives this technology I hear you ask? OLED or Organic Light Emitting Diode. OLED's are already being used in certain cellphones.

Some technical stats:-

• Contrasts of 1,000,000:1 are allegedly possible compared to some top notch Plasma contrasts of 10,000:1
• Luminosity is between 100% for white and a 100% for black resulting in a colour rich display

Currently the technology is expensive but like all manufactured technologies once it hits mass production we should see the price drop.
