Really thin TVs
And I mean sub-mm thin.
Sony and others will release large displays based on OLED technology where the display layer is just 0.3 mm and the whole kit with a protecting layer etc is 0.9 mm.
Display technologies evolve very quickly now, moving from decimeters, to centimeters, to millimeters in a few years, not by optimizing a certain technology, but by rapidly moving to completely new technologies.
I expect OLED displays to completely take over from LCD and Plasma displays, provided that OLED displays can be made bright enough, and it seems they already are.
They will be used for TVs, computer displays, mobile phones, media players, ebooks, magazines, posters, “paintings”, you name it. Very likely they will (as listed) also open up for new types of devices.
(the English is even worse than at my site, so beware)
There are also very flat speakers available, vibrating the whole surface. Maybe such could be used for smaller TVs put on the wall, or for small media players etc.
