Blog 18 1/23/12

Howdy! Thanks for logging in!


So CES 2012 is now history. If you did what I asked you to do two weeks ago, then you know what I'm talking about. If not, Google CES right now.


Here are some mind-boggling numbers:


3,100 - The number of technology companies that showed up in Las Vegas to debut their new tech toys.


153,000 - The number of technology professionals who attended the show.


34,000 - The number of attendees who came from other countries to attend the show.


20,000 - The number of new products that were launched at the show.


1,861,000 - The number of square feet the show took up.


44 - The number of years the show has been running.


(Source: pocket-lint.com)


So what was the biggest unveiled product at CES this year? That's debatable, but I have seen A LOT of buzz about OLED TVs. OLED stands for Organic Light Emitting Diode. Apparently Samsung has a new 55-inch OLED TV that is .6 inches thick. Less than 3/4 of an inch thick! It's also really easy to add 3-D capability to the OLED TVs. Holy cow! It's a BDD in the technology world. Never before has a television been so thin or so clear. Take a look:







Here's the site that pic came from:

Also, GO here and watch this:

So from the article listed above, answer TWO of the following questions to receive credit this week:

1) When do LG and Samsung intend to bring OLED to market?

2) What is one of the two reasons that previous OLED attempt have failed?

3) What happens to blue OLED pixels?

4) How did LG work around the problem?

5) How are OLEDs like plasma?

6) How are OLEDs different than plasma?

7) Why is the contrast better in OLED than in plasma?

8) What are two of the three benefits of LCD / LED TV?

9) What is the drawback of LCD TV?

10) What are the two major types of television technology today?

Find YOUR OWN answers. If everybody starts answering the same two questions I'm gonna give everybody a zero for the week. I'm tired of people phoning it in on the blog.

Next week? More CES stuff.

Some of the reasons this idea has failed before is because its very exspensive and difficult as well as the fact that OLED pixel colors have, up until now, been uneven. It was said that this problem was solved by making their TVs out of an array of white OLED elements with red, green and blue filters in front of each pixel to create a 1080p color high-def image.

8) LED/LCD tvs are brighter and consume less power than plasma.
10) The two major types of tv are plasma and LCD.

I watched a commercial recently promoting these super-thin tvs (it was LG, but whether it was the ones here or not I'm not sure). You saw this guy through an electronics store security camera. He kept walking sideways, facing the camera perfectly, and when he finally backed out the door and turned you could see the huge tv he was carrying. I think it's called Clever Thief or something.

OLED panels have excellent color saturation, image uniformity, brightness and contrast in an amazingly thin form factor and without many of the drawbacks of alternate TV technologies but still like plasma.

6) A OLED differs from a plasma cause like a plasma it makes its own light so its called "self-emissive" but they also have aslim panel thickness that is seen on LCD panels.

9) The drawback of LCD TV technology is that it can be hard to get better lighting on the whole screen and motion can be blurred with detail being lost.

OLED is similar to plamsa tvs in the fact that they are self-emmisive so they can match or exceed the plasma televisions with making its own light, but it is different that it is EXTREMELY thin, unlike plasma. Also, it the pixels respond a whole lot faster than plasma. A heck of a lot lighter as well of course which goes hand in hand with being alot thinner.

It's difficult to get the lighting even all the way around which means you might have some extra bright or extra dark spots on the screen

4) How did LG work around the problem?

Their tv is made up of white OLEDs with colored filters in front of them

Two benefits of LCD/LED TV technology are higher brightness and lower power consumption. One drawback of LCD TV technology is that it can be difficult to get a uniform or even amount of backlighting on the whole screen (so you can get lighter blotches or bright spots)if the light is not focused and diffused evenly across the screen.

Okay Mrs. L I love Tv's so I loved your sights. I am going to answer questions 8 and 10.

8) LED/LCD tvs are brighter and consume less power than plasma.

10) The two major types of tv are plasma and LCD.

He kept walking sideways, facing the camera perfectly, and when he finally backed out the door and turned you could see the huge tv he was carrying. I think it's called Clever Thief or something. But this guy is really a very clever thief even if the commercial isn't named Clever Theif. People dont get any ideas about stealing these TV's now, I saw one after this and they have them on 24/7 watch. SO you would have to be really messed up in the head to try and steal one of these TV's.

The OLED has been attempted , but with its size the production cost was to high for the companys to make.

there was also a problem with its life spans its blue pixels would die out fast, but samsung has announced that it has fixed this problem

5)The OLEDS are similar to plasma TVs because it is flat and also large or small sizes and it is also thinner than the old version TVs.
2) One of the two reasons why the OLED failed is maybe because the previous tv has a bulb that burns out fast, and the other reason was that it is hard to see the pictures on the tv because the light is too dark.

Previous attempts at the OLED tv have been unsuccessful due to the fact that costs for making and manufacturing the things are particularly high, and the lifespan of the blue pixelations do not last like the red and the green, which can be..... more than a little problematic.

The two major types of tvs are plasmas and lcd tvs. The contrast in oled tvs are better than plasmas because they are using a organic carbon based compund.In which transfers the colors in electrical currents. Also there is no back lighting. The OLED tv consume less energy also.-TUTT

OLED TV's are similar to the palsma TV's becuase each pixal on the panel is "self-emissive," or produces it own light. Oder versions of OLED TV's have failed because of the short preformance and lifespan the blue pixels had. But luckly LG solved this issue by making their "OLED TVs out of a dense array of white OLED elements (6 million of them!) with tiny red, green and blue filters in front of each OLED pixels."

The companies have no specific date for when the OLED will come out, but they're planning to have it out by later this year. One of the advantages of LCD, is that it takes as little power as possible to run and they also give off a brighter picture, the drawback being that its difficult to get the color even in the picture, so you come up with black splotches and uneven coloring.

They way OLED TVs are better than plasma is because LCD pixels transmit light through the panel instead of emitting their own light. And the benefits of LCD TV and LED TV technology include higher brightness and lower power consumption.
