Carbon nanotubes manage 1080p on a 0.7-inch microdisplay
|
We can't say it was love at first sight for us and carbon nanotube displays, with the first screen cap resembling a Lite-Brite a lot better than a next generation display technology. Well, now we're ready to give this nano tech another chance, since Syscan Imaging has just managed to squeeze a 1920 x 1080 resolution onto a 0.7-inch LCoS microdisplay for use in projection TVs. It's even at a lower cost than competing technologies, and should hopefully overcome some of the current problems with the low yields and color inconsistencies of LCoS. Carbon nanotube displays also run cooler and have zero ghosting, so we're pretty stoked, but we'll have to wait until 2007 for these to make it to shelves.

I thought it was funny to see this because every korean/japanese electronic manufacturer and their mother's keep releasing, "the worlds biggest HDTV".
This technology looks promising it's amazing what we can come up with when engineering in nano scales.. LCD's are about to get even cheaper!
