SED is basically dead. The technology was mired in a patent lawsuit, last I heard. At this point, I doubt it will ever appear in mass market consumer displays. OLED is looking a lot more promising.
Well it's dated March 20, 2006 and they still haven't come out. Display technology is good (or should I say cool looking) enough for consumers that the progression of technology has become stagnant. They're flat and shiny and that's what people want which is sad. I'd take function over form any day.
That's the good thing about OLEDs. They will be
more flat and shiny. I expect OLED to eventually take over the market not because of its improved image quality, but because its screens can be made very thin, much more so than LCDs.
OLEDs can eventually be really cheap to make, and are already: super thin, super light, lower power consumption, no ghosting or bluring or other such issues, infinite contract ratio (aka, perfectly black blacks), transparent, foldable, see through, opaque, etc... they are just such an amazing leap in display technology, they will be used eveywhere...
