ipad anyone?
patrickl:
Wow sorry, I though this was common knowledge. I'm talking about the OLED/AMOLED displays that protokatie is talking about. In those the LED's replace the backlight+LCD.
These displays have been the standard in the new (higher end) phones that have been coming out over the last year. They offer higher contrast, more vibrant colors and consume less energy.
You can replace CCFL with LEDs, but that's still an LCD display. Not sure why CCFL is mentioned since, for obvious reasons, there has never been a CCFL in a phone or PDA. Indeed that's why PDA/Phones displays often suffer in color reproduction.
Blanka:
Yes, but except from one horrible expensive Sony, OLED is only used for tiny, I mean REALLY tiny screens (1,5x1,5 inch 120x120 pixels, stuff like that). Even a smartphone has LED backlit LCD's as OLED is too expensive for that.
iPad is in the segment of sub-notebook displays, and they used to be CCFL backlit LCD's and are getting more and more white-LED-backlit now.
OLED for 10 inch mainstream gadgets is 2013's dream I guess.
patrickl:
You are a bit behind on the news. Again, the latest smartphones have been coming out with AMOLED screens for at least a year. These are 3.5" to 4" screens. Netbooks with AMOLED are presented already. Although I don't think they are for sale yet.
The biggest issue is that Apple works with LG (and not Samsung) and LG has very limited AMOLED production. So of course LG couldn't produce enough of them for the iPad no. That doesn't make it a dream.
You claimed that the best screens are IPS or PVA. While in fact that technology is soooo 2008 :)
Vanguard:
Nexus One has an AMOLED screen.
And to Shmokes comment, Window Mobile Phone 7 is hardly a concept.
shmokes:
You're just mincing words here when surely you understood my point and my choice of words. Patrick referred to the iPad as a "mythical concept" immediately after saying that he would by a Windows Mobile 7 device. Of course Windows Phone 7 devices won't be out until Q4 of this year, I believe (at the very least they are definitely not out now). I'm sure you can see the irony calling the one that is on store shelves a mythical concept.
Not only that but Windows Phone 7 is still a concept. We do not know for sure what features will make it into the shipping product, and some of the announced features could obviously still get the 11th hour axe (see WinFS)
