A Taiwanese display maker has developed a 25-inch screen that's less than a millimeter thick. (http://www.nytimes.com/external/idg/2008/10/29/29idg-Taiwans-CMEL-s.html)

The new screen, which was unveiled by Chi Mei EL at the FPD International exhibition in Japan on Wednesday, is based on the emerging OLED (organic light emitting diode) technology and attracted a steady stream of show attendees who snapped pictures of the screen or who peered around the edge to take a look at just how thin it is.

Chi Mei EL's previous thinnest prototype was 3 mm thick but the company managed to slim this down by adopting a new production method

Thank god. I mean 3mm thick TV. What is this 1960? :)

So it is shaping up to be a battle between LASER and OLED?

In my mind, the next five years are going to be all plasma and LCD.

From what I understand, If they can get the engineering kinks worked out, improve the lifespan and get the price down (three mighty big tasks) then OLED is so superior that it will simply displace all other technologies.

The Sony X-1 certainly looks amazing but it is only 11"
