preview of next powerbook screen?
Supervideo's website (I know.. the website stinks!) talks about the next generation OLED screens. It mentions how Toshiba will be using this technology on their 15" powerhouse laptop. The article also mentions how Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corporation has created the first 20" OLED screen.

Except for the extra thick bezel on the second monitor. I hope that's due to it being a pre-production prototype.
What ever happened to the relatively shorter lifespan of the OLED displays??

I wasn't implying that apple should make a 20" laptop! I was merely commenting on the fact that Apple will probably be using a similar 15" OLED screen that toshiba will be using soon.

does anyone know what battery life would be extended to with OLED? AFAIK, it uses a LOT less juice but i'd be very interested to know exactly (or even roughly) how that is reflected in hours from fully charged.
Just read the page linked to in the first message...
Technical details: The 20-inch prototype is a top-emitting full-color active-matrix display. It has WXGA resolution (1280 x 768 pixels) and a power consumption of 25 Watt at a brightness of 300 cd/m2 (its desktop display brightness, can exceed 500 cd/m2). The organic layers are fabricated on a substrate with an array of amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin-film transistors (TFTs) . Improved color reproduction, which is better than with CRTs, and extremely high efficiency have been achieved specifically by the use of tailor made organic materials in combination with a unique optical device architecture.
Apple 17" LCD Studio - 40W
Apple 20" LCD Cinema - 60W
OLED 20" 'Cinema Sized' - 25W
Apple 23" LCD Cinema - 70W
Yea I'd say it uses less....
..edit...
Hmm and the brightness is better too...
Apple 20" LCD Cinema brightness 230 cd/m2 - 60Watts
OLED 20" LCD Cinema brightness 300 cd/m2 - 25Watts
Impressive!
On top of that, in a 'desktop config' the OLED's brightness can exceed 500 cd/m2!! (no power given at that level) but damn that be bright!

with respect, i read the article and that doesn't answer my question. how does that power consumption translate into hours on an average (let's say) TiBook?
