Kodak's 7.6" OLED Display Will Cost a Grand

comment Commentsprint Printemail EmailDeliciousDiggStumbleUponReddit

OLED spreads its wings further into the consumer sector today, as Koday has unveiled what it claims is the first consumer-available wireless OLED picture frame. And it will be available just in time for the holiday shopping season, provided you have an extra grand just taking up space in you wallet.

The new frame sports a 7.6-inch diagonal panel, and because it uses OLED technology it can boast a superior 180-degree viewing angle to existing digital frames currently on the market. But lest anyone balk at the price tag (who are we kidding, go ahead and balk!), it also comes with a built-in memory card reader, USB port, and 2GB of internal memory Kodak says is capable of storing up to 10,000 images. And those pictures will be beamed through a widescreen 16:9 display at an 800x480 resolution.

So choose your poison - thousand dollar keyboard or thousand dollar picture frame?

The 7.6-inch panel will mark CEML's debut in the medium-size market after
volume production of small-size OLED panels started more than a year ago. Check out this OLED Info website:http://www.oled-display.net

avatarWTF?

Wasn't OLED technology supposed to make things like displays and digital picture frames CHEAPER?

I guess the "E" in OLED actually stands for EPIC FAIL!
