Your call: hype or real?
Real = it will matter in daily use. Hype = louder than it is. One vote, and it can’t be changed.

Why it matters
If it works, OLED screens for laptops and monitors could get cheaper to make and brighter or longer-lived.
Skip: a factory change for the coming years.
The details
- FLiPP forms red, green and blue pixels without a fine metal mask, using photolithography and etching.
- For a 23.5-inch panel, glass use rises from about 75% to over 93%, and deposition time is about 40% shorter.
- Depending on design, the bigger light area can give 1.6x brightness, 2.4x lifespan or 13% less power.
- The target is up to 1,000 PPI, still to be verified. Phones are not a near-term target.
- It is still in development. Mass production is planned for the coming years, with no date.
