Sony and Panasonic team up for cheaper OLED TVs

Hell yeah, now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout. Put out some R&D cash and give me some OLED TV love.

If there was ever a case of, "Shut up and take my money", this is it.

That's good news.

We've been led to expect affordable OLED TVs for years now and so far it's been very slow progress.

Hopefully this will add some momentum and not end in bitter lawsuits.

I'm waiting to see OLED monitors printed on cereal boxes so kids can watch the commercials as they have breakfast. (Jetsons reference)

Seriously, this will be a great thing for TVs and computer monitors. Lower power consumption, thinner screens, but did they solve the problem of the blue OLEDs degrading faster than the other colours?

LG and Samsung plan to roll OLED in the latter of 2012, not 2013. Let the battle begin.

Good news! I'm planing to buy a new HDTV. Panasonic's new plasmas looks great, but OLED it's for sure the way to go when they come.

I'd like to see a 500% import duty. You don't make it in the U.S., don't sell it here. This is a perfect time for manufacturers to set up a T,V, manufacturing plant. I think all the countries should do this. There is not one T.V. made in the U.S., considering the amount we consumed, now is the time.

G.E. has a technique similar to making newspapers, a continuous roll system it has been working on for years. They have one unit the size of a trailer of a tractor trailer truck. These screens will e throw away and the materials for the OLED screens (not the glass) is water soluble. These are very recyclable. The electronics that power them can be used for a long time. Theoretically, upgrading to a larger TV could be as simple as buying a new OLED panel.

Dupont says it can print a 50" OLED TV screen in 2 minutes, and that was a while ago.
