OLED + QD-LED
Tatsujin:
Link.
When are those two coming out? At least when will the OLED come out?
Mistgun_Zero:
Well unless they can figure out how to make the blue-light emitting quantum dots easily, I doubt QD-LED would be seen in near future. I doubt we will see it for a atleast 5 years.
OLED is already out I think. Samsung already showcased a laptop with OLED display (which was also a kinda transparent display). I forgot where I read that though.

you should've just bumped the 2013 thread, renamed it "future innovations" thread and ask the question.
neither will see the light of day anytime soon that we can hope for, or likely would be stupid expensive to be even a consideration, they're both having production issues.
OLED in particular is having cost production issues and short lifespan, they're much more expensive than a TFT panel and only has a lifespan of around 14,000 hours for the multi-colored panels.
if you want an example of one of the OLEDs check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_XEL-1, at 11" 960x540 screen size it costs $2,499.99, now if you could imagine how much would a 21.5" 1080P screen would cost.

OLED screens are used regularly on things like phones, however the production methods for it to make the larger screens desired for things like tvs is simply not there yet. I think it was GE or one of those giant companies that had created reel to reel production for oled dont know the quality or size for production.
kitamesume:
well, what i had in mind were big screens like laptop screens (10" and above) and monitor screens.
edit: wait are you talking about AMOLED? i though that was different than OLED, more like a hybrid of TFT+OLED.
on second thought, the only thing holding back OLED/AMOLED from entering regular monitors and laptop screens is it's production cost drives the final product's price too high to be competitive enough.
