A visitor looks at new G-series Aquos LCD TVs from Sharp Corp. at a launch event in Tokyo July 2, 2007. The TV features a compact design with the industry's thinnest profile of 8.1 cm and the double-speed 120-Hz frame rate LCD panel for fast-motion images. A new generation of super-thin, power-sipping displays is making its way to the market, stretching battery lives to new limits and perhaps one day posing a challenge to heavier, energy-gobbling LCDs.

New generation of lighter displays to take on LCDs - Yahoo! News
A new generation of super-thin, power-sipping displays is making its way to the market, stretching battery lives to new limits and perhaps one day posing a challenge to heavier, energy-gobbling LCDs.

New screens that glow on their own are taking on their clunkier liquid crystal display rivals -- which require powerful backlighting -- by producing sharper video images for smartphones, game consoles and portable media players.

But industry watchers say it will be years before a clear winner -- if any -- emerges with the clout to outdo LCDs.

Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) and bi-stable technologies are the most likely challengers to LCDs.

An OLED screen uses as much as 40 percent less power than a comparable LCD and could be twice as thin because it does not need backlighting.
