Considering Seiko Epson was touting its inkjet OLED technology over a
year ago and researchers have supposedly been developing OLEDs as
cheap as newspapers for some time now, at this point we're really more
interested in seeing electronics manufacturers do more walking and
less talking. Thankfully Samsung has acknowledged our tech impatience
by sharing a prototype 19-inch OLED that's capable of displaying 58ppi
-- or about a quarter of full HD's resolution -- and 16.77 million
colors with a limited 8-bit color scale at a brightness of 200 nits.
No, it may not look or sound as sexy as the 0.5mm thick flapping panel
or 40-inch 1080p OLED sets Samsung shared back in 2008, but unlike
those dinosaurs, this latest prototype was made via the old OLED
"inkjet method." Sadly the Korean tech giant dashed our hopes of
heading over to Kinkos anytime we needed a fresh OLED big screen by
stating "the technology is still under development." Now if we had a
nickel for every time we've heard that before, we'd probably be
staring at an OLED printer on our desk right now.
