I still remember working in a small electronics shop in Germany. We received a sample from Sony, and we displayed it with a ridiculously high sticker price. Surprisingly, someone really wanted to buy it. We had to get permission from Sony to sell it because it wasn't actually intended for sale at that point.

I was working at a Sony Centre and we had 2 of these, one display and 1 brand new as stock. The boss thought we would never sell it as it was $aus6999. After i sold it for virtually full price, the boss gave me an incredible deal on the display model, as it was no longer needed (2009) as we wouldn't be getting any more. I have had it next to my bed ever since and its still going strong. Probably gets about 3 hours use every day. Although small, when its this close its really not an issue for me. Thankfully it had digital tuner built in so hasn't become obsolete. Mine has 2 hdmi, usb and the 3.5.mm headphone jack. I have google chromecast plugged into to stream. I also still have the original demo dvd we used in the store that has all the selling points etc. and the brochure No burn in issues with mine and picture is still great. Absolutely love it

The evolution of OLED technology reflects broader trends in consumer electronics and technological innovation. Early adopters of new technologies often pay a premium, but they also get to experience the cutting edge of innovation. Over time, as the technology matures and economies of scale kick in, prices tend to drop, making advanced technologies more accessible to the general public.

The economic impact of such advancements is significant. Companies that invest in research and development to bring new technologies to market can reap substantial rewards, driving their stock prices up and attracting investor interest.

I remember when we from the professional and broadcast side of Sony were briefed on that exact TV and technology. The opinion at the time was that the end result is great, but the natural deterioration of the organic component of the OLED (?) made larger screens impractical/impossible. Sony hit a wall in its R&D and apparently the larger screen were failing noticeably after 6 months. They did persevere for a while though, but ultimately abandoned OLED. They were quite dismissive internally of LG picking up the tech, and the attitude was more along the lines "we dodged a bullet, watch LG losing money on this". To be fair this was happening when Sony was already considering bowing out of the screen manufacturing business and sold off a lot of its tech to Samsung and LG. Forward a few years later and they became one of the main promoter of OLED in the pro space (using panels from LG).
@dhanrajshetty5161

Still today it seems OLED is less feasible for large screens, though it has dominated small screen based markets like phone, smartwatch, etc, televisions are still limited to highly expensive models. In fact top players like Samsung, LG(the OG OLED brand), etc have already started focusing on all sorts of alternatives, QLED, Mini-LED, Micro-LED.
@garydiamondguitarist
Ай бұрын
Yes I remember it well. It was thought at the time it would take a couple of decades to get OLED tech up to the sort of panel sizes seen in larger LCDs of the time (37"-40") converse to plasmas where they could only be shrunk down so much due to their own unique quirks, also part of why 4K plasmas never came to be (pixel density). So with OLEDs at least, they're a bit ahead of schedule and already being superceded by the next generation. One of the other fairly early uses of OLED was on the PS Vita, which look great but suffer from oversatured colours (something I quite like) as well as black spots in random places (something probably nobody likes).

The reason why this display looks so close to the HDR references is because HDR is intended to standardise HDR delivery and playback, not create it from like it's something entirely new. SDR supports HDR output using tone mapping, but you need to manually match the display brightness to the video source to get an HDR effect. Proper HDR is better and more convenient, but the results aren't always significantly different.

I mean, those screen sizes had been quite normal at that time. Think about it: The PSP for an example came out in 2005 and had half of that resolution as LCD. So there was absolutely no way that by 2011 (especially considering the progress in a lot of other terms, including render resolution of games as well as processing power for mobile devices) the resolution of anything that's handheld and capable of games/vide playback wouldn't have a higher resolution while at the same time most likely using an oled screen on top - which also includes the PS Vita which released in 2011 as well. It's honestly more interesting now that I think of it that the Vita was sold for the same price as the PSP on release despite having an OLED screen, yet somehow a 1080p OLED screen is still more expensive than a 1080p LCD screen today.

I got a tour of an R&D Lab at Corning Glass one time. I'm talking, metal detector, pat down, sign NDA, be with someone the whole time etc etc. My friend worked in the lab and pulled some strings to get me there. I saw a prototype of this exact display. The base was different but the display was amazing. I remember the screen being about as thick as a piece of card board. They had several of them and different stages of assembly.

Everything is already OLED here, my phone's display, TV and PC monitor. Love the deep black's and contrast.

I honestly which that little OLED’s with this design philosophy still existed. Small TVs are great and have their place for sure

I used to work at Best Buy in Anchorage, Alaska before 2008, and they got one of these Sony's displays in a clear box playing a demo video. I know it was either in 2006 or early 2007. The one we got was only a demo, and it wasn't for sale. I absolutely remeber how blown away I was at this diplay. It was playing a Sony rendered type demo that showed off the deep, blacks and colors really well. It was stunning compared to anything else I had seen before it. It had deep blacks amazing colors and incredible highlights. It's common technology now, but back then it really stood out compared to the bland washed out LCDs of the day.

later they made a handheld with OLED, which is the PS-Vita first gen. it was so ahead of its time, OLED screen, hall effect sticks, etc.

Remember checking this thing out all the time at The Sony Store back in the day. Though the concept product I really lusted for was the VAIO UX, considering handheld PC's are only really becoming a market segment now it was a product almost 20 years ahead of its time.

Vaio should bring back the UX as a Steam Deck competitor

Man, this takes me back. I heard about this display back in 8th grade from a CES article, and I ended up just gushing about it to a classmate. We ended up becoming friends over the shared interest, and years later and we're buddies who are still display nerds! 😁

You need to look at some of the last generation plasma tvs like the Panasonic vt50 and vt60 they are shocking good for the time and the motion clarity is still better than most modern oleds.

I was visiting Tokyo in 2008 and saw this incredible TV in the Sony building, Ginza. It made me realize how far ahead technology was in Japan.

Yes. I remember that screen behind a glass case as a centerpiece in the technology section of a department store. It did look amazing back then. I just couldn’t picture why would anyone want something like that. But that memory of how amazing it looked has been stuck in my mind for all these years.

The first gen PS Vita came with an OLED in 2011 and mine still looks great, especially for a handheld.

I remember being blown away seeing one of these in a Sony store at a mall. It was so obviously superior to LCD’s and made me anticipate the technology maturing in the future.

I had a similar experience seeing an old Galaxy S5. The display looks almost the same as that of a modern Pixel 7, just a bit more yellow and with a lower maximum brightness. But the hint of yellow actually gave it a pleasant warm look and the max brightness only matters outdoors, it had plenty of brightness for indoor use. It looks way better than any LCD monitor I've seen.

Fun fact, I used to work with the brother of one of the team member at Arizona State that created this tech. This was in 99 or early 2000 I think. Brother was a student Az State and he told me all about this stuff back then. The big take away was the flexible screens and picture quality. I've always enjoyed seeing over the years as it came out and improved and just became everything they promised at the time. Very few techs get fully realized but OLED really seems to have done it.

I remember seeing this as a kid in a Sony store with my dad. We were both blown away by the screen, and whatever outrageous price it had at the time. Wild
