TOKYO (Reuters) - Sony Corp has pulled the plug in Japan on sales of a next-generation flat TV due to sluggish demand, a setback for a product the company had trumpeted as a sign of its revival as an innovator.
Sony said it had stopped production of ultra-thin TVs using organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology for Japan, just a little over 2 years since it launched its first set. It plans to keep selling the TVs in overseas markets, a spokesman said.
OLED displays use organic, or carbon-containing compounds that emit light when electricity is applied. They produce crisp images and do not need backlighting, making them slimmer and more energy-efficient than LCDs, the most popular type of flat TV.

New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.

It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
Nobody wanted OLED.
There is better tech out there more promising tech.
And where is my SED tvs :(
Its a shame this might not be a technology that goes anywhere. I've only seen a few in person, but they looked outstanding. The first one I got to see was at Best Buy. It was only a 10in or so, but the cool thing was that as soon as I walked into the store I could see the thing from the front door all the way to the Magnolia room. It was pretty damn far away yet it was so bright and colorful. When I actually walked to it to check it out I almost fell over at the price. I think it was $6,999, and it was not even HD. It was very beautiful though. I was just picturing in my mind playing games on it in a 50in version.
Odear
Development on HD TV's started in the 80's and it wasn't available to the public until 2005 (I think) so that's about 25 years of research but the OLED technology is already here and has been shown to the public so I think it just needs a bit of more research, say about another 3 to 4 years before it's available publicly in a 42/50" range.
I suspect that by then our HD 3D TV's will literally be a piece of really thin black tinted glass that when touched on the edge displays a super shard or 'ultra HD' image while the bezel of the screen is still see-through, or maybe the image will cover the edge of the lass as well. in 15 years time our current TV's will be ancient.
"Sony said it would end sales of OLED TV in Japan when inventory runs out. It plans to continue putting money into research and development and production for North America, Europe and other overseas markets."
