Samsung 40-inch OLED TV

Juniper Foo | Jun 06, 2005

It must be wearisome being king of the hill. With the competition eating dust, our favorite Korean chaebol has dug into its Doraemon pouch and whipped out another world first--a 40-inch OLED TV. Until recently, Organic Light Emitting Electronic Diode was a manufacturing challenge and good as only itsy displays found mostly on MP3 players and phones. With Samsung's breakthrough expected to lead to super-skinny TVs just 3cm thick and far less costly, there's nothing more satisfying then knowing your snooty neighbor's 40-inch plasma is going to be so yesterday.

More Samsung firsts that have been reported: a 3GB music-phone | 7-megapixel camera-phone | an 82-inch LCD TV | slimmest CRT TV
