We didn't include this information in our original press release, but we're also offering The Bluefin S10 in a OLED monitor configuration.
OLED (Organic LED) is an emerging technology. Here's the Wiki link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OLED
And the quote fr om the Wiki article:
"OLEDs enable a greater range of colors, gamut, brightness, contrast (both DR and static) and viewing angle than LCDs because OLED pixels directly emit light. OLED pixel colors appear correct and unshifted, even as the viewing angle approaches 90 degrees fr om normal. LCDs use a backlight and cannot show true black, while an off OLED element produces no light and consumes no power. Energy is also wasted in LCDs because they require polarizers that filter out about half of the light emitted by the backlight. Additionally, color filters in most color LCDs filter out two-thirds of the light; technology to separate backlight colors by diffraction has not been widely adopted.
OLEDs also have a faster response time than standard LCD screens. Whereas the fastest LCD displays currently have a 2ms response time, an OLED can have less than 0.01ms response time."
Bench test on our LCD and OLED monitor burn times using Duracell AA 2650 NiMH batteries yielded 8 hour run times for LCD and 12 hour for OLED.
