LG to License Kodak’s OLED Technology for Digital Frames

Written on Mar 19, 2009 by Brian and filed under Kodak, News

According to a new report, LG is going to license Kodak’s OLED technology to release a series of consumer devices like small televisions and digital picture frames. Kodak was the first to release an OLED digital picture frame in September of last year. The 7.6″ frame debuted at $999 but has since worked it’s way down to the high $700′s. LG is expected to release their first Kodak-licensed display products later this year.

Aside from these details, not much else is known. LG currently does not offer their digital frames in the US, it remains to be seen if a higher-profile OLED frame will make it over here. This does show a commitment by manufacturers to continue to innovate with frames, so if nothing else, this move is a good sign. We’ll see if LG’s investment and increased production of OLED displays will get prices down – closer to levels where consumers might actually buy them.[via Wired]
