Asus considers building an OLED Eee PC

  • Email

asus-logoAsus has been keeping pretty busy at CeBIT, what with launching a new ultrathin netbook, showing off a new Eee Keyboard, EeeNAS, and other devices including a dual screen notebook. But the company isn’t done innovating. Not by a long shot. According to The Register, Asus CEO Jonney Shih also mentioned today that the company is thinking about adding a computer with an OLED display to its Eee PC lineup.

OLED technology would give such a netbook a bright and vibrant screen, while drawing less power than current LCD screens and helping prolong battery life. But right now OLED screens tend to cost an awful lot of money, so either Shih knows something I don’t, or an Eee PC with an OLED screen  would cost more than a few bucks more than most of the Eee PC netbooks available today.

    Today I spoke with some Asus guy from the System Product Design Department, and he told me that Asus want to introduce a Notebook with a OLED Display by the end of the year, or in the first quarter 2010. He told me Asus want to be the first company which introduce some Notebook with an OLED Display. In the lab Asus work very hard to introduce a notebook with an OLED display. He told us also that he don´t believe that Asus establish a AMOLED in the EEE PC serie. The reason is easy a Notebook with an OLED is very expensive and so Asus want to bring out a upscale notebook with an OLED Display. He is informed that Samsung also work on a Laptop with Oled, but Asus want to be the first with an organic light emitting diode.
