I hope the lifespan is improved first...

Re: tablet with an Oled screen in a near future?
 

20,000 hours until it loses half its initial brightness doesn't sound too bad. That's like 10 years of 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I assume the tablets use cold cathode back lighting which I imagine has a similar lifespan. My 3 year old laptop screen (cold cathode) is definitely not as bright as it was new.

tablets more likely to use white leds.

Re: tablet with an Oled screen in a near future?
 

yes, current tablets have leds on the side... that's the reason for the "stage lights" effect..

but oled, besides rendering pretier colours, is thinner and consumes a fraction of the power...
so, expect slimmer, higher contrast units, with extended batery time.

Nokia is already using OLED displays in some of their phones...maybe its just a matter of time (and money)

Re: tablet with an Oled screen in a near future?
 

So will we have to choose whether to switch to 'white text on black background' themes for longer battery time?

Is it just me or is that a 770 under 4.1" WQVGA?

Re: tablet with an Oled screen in a near future?
 

It certainly looks like it. Huh. -J

This is way OT, but I guess this thread might attract people who know this, as its related to display technology:

I suffer from epilepsy; the one thing (and, thank god, one of the very few) that triggers seizures is flickering light - like flickering CRT monitors with less than 75Hz. I learned that turning down brightness and going above 80Hz is perfectly safe for me, no problems.

I used to think that LCD-displays didnt flicker at all, until years ago I used my first LCD-device. It was hell. It was actually so bad I couldnt bare looking directly at it.
I still have this effect with cell phones (cheaper ones are much worse) and yes, even with the Nokia 770 if I dont turn brightness to the absolute minimum.

Does any of you know why I get the impression of flickering on an LCD? is it the backlight?

Even more important: Will I always be a second class citizen of the mobile device society? Can future technologies like OLED etc. solve this problem for me, will they be any different? Or is there a certain quality criterion in todays LCDs I could look for to be safe? (I actually do not buy devices I want because of this... The Nokia 6233 for example doesnt let you adjust display brightness, so its out of the question for me.)
