Aussie Government to ban fat-panel TVs

An interesting article that boosts SED TV and OLED TV for energy consumption reasons alone. Good reading at the link above, especially the headline!

Thursday, 11 October 2007, 6:15 PM WITH AN EYE ON melting Antarctica, the Australian government is proposing regulations that would ban most plasma and LCD HDTVs by the year 2011.

After commissioning a report that found the popularity of high power-drawing TVs like plasma and LCD TVs is growing. The bigger and brighter screens get, the more power is required, and Australia is trying to crack down on energy consumption. This is the government that was looking into banning incandescent bulbs in favor of fluorescent bulbs earlier this year.

By 2011, plasma and LCD TVs could be replaced with less energy consuming technologies like SED TV and OLED TV. But for now, the planet heats up because of our TVs.

With SED TV going nowhere at the moment, Canon and Nano-Proprietary have lost once again. Sony announced a few minutes ago that the Sony OLED TV will be released December 1, 2007. It’s only an 11″ model, but it’s the first OLED TV and the first real challenge to Plasma and LCD TV to be available to the consumer. Another sad day for SED TV fans. Press release below:
TOKYO (Reuters) - Sony Corp said on Monday it would launch an ultra-thin flat TV based on the organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology on December 1, bringing a new contender to a market dominated by LCD and plasma TVs.

It will be the world’s first OLED TV, the company said.

Sony, the world’s second-largest liquid crystal display TV maker behind Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, expects an 11-inch OLED TV with a thickness of 3 mm to sell for 200,000 yen ($1,700).

OLED panels are said to be energy efficient, make thin and light displays, offer crisp pictures and have strength in showing fast-moving images, suitable for watching sports events and action movies.

But manufacturers still face some technological challenges in making larger panels and driving down production costs to compete commercially with LCD and plasma TVs, analysts say.
