Thinner Than Thin OLED

Okay, I’ve talked to you about the thin pioneer plasma, but this is insane.  Among the various other thin flat panels I have mentioned, this Sony OLED is pretty sexy despite its anorexia.  Introducing a prototype by Sony, a .2mm thick… OLED panel, with a screen size of 3.5 inches.

This new prototype beats another thin panel OLED by Samsung with a thickness of .25mm with a 4 inch screen.

To obtain the thinness, glass substrates had to be grounded to produce the thinness:

To achieve the slimness, the company ground the glass substrates on both sides after producing the OLED panel so that each side measures only 0.1mm in thickness.

Although the screen size is small, you could have all the bragging rights with this anorexic piece of screen real estate.
