Amazing technology. The next generation will be OLED displays and will be paper thin and crystal clear.
TOKYO - Seiko Epson, a leading inkjet printer maker, said it has developed the world's largest organic electro-luminescence display, which produces clear images while requiring little power.
"The company has developed an original inkjet process for depositing organic layers on large-size (thin film transistor) substrates," Seiko Epson Corp. said in a statement.
"Using this technology, Epson has now developed the world's largest, 40-inch diagonal, full-color (organic electro-luminescence) display prototype," the company said.
Seiko Epson plans to start selling products using the technology in 2007.
Organic electro-luminescence displays uses organic layers to illuminate themselves and consume less power than liquid crystal displays.
The displays offer high contrasts, wide viewing angles and fast response times -- characteristics required for the next-generation lightweight displays, the company said.
