Samsung unveils supersized OLED display

Samsung SDI, the Korean giant's display division, announced this week prototypes of a 17-inch active matrix organic light emitting diode (OLED) display. Set for launch next year, the display has a resolution of 1600x1200 pixels and a brightness of 400 lumens, and is the largest OLED matrix display to date, according to the company.

It will consume no more power than a 15-inch display and be a third of the thickness of existing liquid-crystal display models, the company said. The prototype will be shown at the 2004 Society for Information Display (SID) conference, which starts May 25 in Seattle.
