Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

Like, I can't do the math on how many pixels there are in a 4k TV, but there's a lot.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

And if you need to like place them individually and connect wires to them, that's not the way you do things.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

You need to be able to essentially print them.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

That's why they're like Japanese companies have these printable LEDs where you kind of use like an inkjet printer, kind of the same way they print the LCD stuff.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

So far, there's been no manufacturing breakthrough.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

So yeah,

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

that technology continues to be a curiosity for extremely rich people.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

Uh, and it looks real cool at CES, but there's a bunch of other technologies too.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

I like, I don't remember the acronyms off the top of my head, but there's a bunch of other ways to produce pixels that make light besides OLEDs.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

They're just like in the experimental stage where they'll show like a postage stamp size, little experimental thing in a back room at CES and say, maybe someday we can make TVs out of this.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

But yeah,

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

If someone actually eventually does it and it becomes manufacturable, I'm sure you'll hear about it here from me.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

But for now, it's QD OLED and Tandem OLED.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

And honestly, Tandem OLED is very exciting.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

That's what Apple's M6 MacBook Pros are going to use sometime later this year, rumors have it.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

And that's what the iPad uses now.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

I'm excited about that because it's a really good technology and those screens look great.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

So I'm happy with what we have.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

But yeah, micro LED.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

And boy, the naming, I'm...
