OLED Display on Kodak digital camera

Guest
Spotted in a Retravision catalogue some time last week. There was a
Kodak digital still camera that claimed to have an "OLED" display
providing briliant colours. I could spot no model number in the
description or picture. (Can't remember the price either but I think
it was around $700 - $1000).

Is this an organic LED display? I didn't think they were anything near
market ready. Perhaps they meant OLED backlighting, perhaps even using
it for colour modulation (but I doubt that).

Perhaps I am confusing OLEDs with polymer LEDs which I thought were,
at the least, very similar just a different name for different
backers.

been around for a while now:
I nearly got one, decided the lcd was too new and added to the camera
cost at this point.
a one shot "strike me lucky" friendly google search gives me:

Yes I think I was quite confused. By polymer LED's I meant Light
Emitting Polymers (LEPs) and these are in all likelyhood very
different. I remember first reading about OLEDs not long after all the
noise about LEPs . Considering how liitle noise was made about OLEDs,
I assumed that they were just the same things being researched by
another company that either couldn't use the trademark LEP or wanted
to distinguish itself. My mistake there, I have not heard any hint
that LEPs work on an LED principle (photon pops out when electron
jumps to lower energy level - wonder what happens at the joint between
dopped substrate and wire). For those who don't know, polymers (or
plastics) are an organic compound - ie carbon based.

Called the LS633, yeah brighter display. Pity its a 3 megapixel camera.
retailing about $650..

It is OLED, not only back lighting, the real stuff.

Perhaps.


Par.
 
I think we'll be seeing more of them soon.
