Sony announced on their website the thinnest OLED display in the world. It is only o.3 millimetre thick and offers 16.7 million colours. The display presented by Sony is 2.5″ wide and gives 160 x 120 pixel resolution.

Sony’s display will be officially presented at an academic symposium in Long Beach, California, this week. The display has more colours than the competitors products - Samsung with 262k colours and Philips with 16k colours. On the other hand Sony’s OLED offers only 1000:1 contrast ratio compared to Samsung’s 10000:1 ratio. Anyway there are slight chances to see this kind of displays replacing the actual LCDs and plasmas. The problem is that the costs are higher to produce the OLEDs.
