Looks like our suspicion was right! Sony is using Samsung SDI as a stop-gap until they release their own technologies, FED and OLED.



For those living in the dark ages for past few months should know that Sony fixed the blur pixel lifetime by implementing white OLED with RGB color filters. The small version will be released this year.



Sony’s FED PC monitor was also reviled at this year’s CES. Both FED and SED are very alike. So the quality will be very similar (of cause, FED will be better, so says Sony).



Keep in mind that new LED backlit LCDs and OLEDs will be able to produce better color gamut then phosphor based displays (PDP, FED, SED, CRT, PL-LCD etc…).

PL-LCD sounds good. Has anyone got any info about this technology? Does it work?

[Nielo TM]

PL-LCD (short for Photoluminescent Liquid Crystal Displays) is currently under development by the British Cambridge University. The new LCD display will contain phosphor coating instead of RGB color filters. It works by controlling the amount UV light (from the backlight) hitting the phosphor.

I would like to know how these super beaut technologies will handle Standard Definition material?

Presumably if these are HD displays then the handling of SD material is more a function of the de-interlacing and scaling technology rather than the display technology...

[Loobster]

True, but OLEDs etc are said to lend themselves to a better SD picture than technologies such as LCD/PDP.

With SD you need all the help you can get!

OLED is said to be a lot of things...so was plasma, so was LCD....

LOL!

Yeah the Loobster gets everywhere don't ya know.

Probably by the time they are released SD will be a thing of the past, confined to museums

how will these tv's handle 343 monochrome?

[onkeh]

So what does this result it?　Effective zero response time? Better blacks, more accurate colour, that sort of thing?

[Nielo TM]

CRT quality motion detail, ultra deep dynamic range and natural colors. But I dont know about color depth since its driven by PWM and the color gamut will be around 73%.

But then if PL-LCD uses phosphor, we are back to the same old screen-burn issues that occur on ANY phosphor display, be it Plasma, CRT or CRT Rear Projection, as far as high-contrast TV logos are concerned.

oooooooo so sony is producing FED which is exactly the same as SED but will introduce it first into pc monitors, and possibly tvs later ????

sounds awesome :D

Well... don't hold your breath for an actual product. Sony seems far more interested in OLED these days - I'm not sure if they're even still researching FED.
