Towards the end of 2008, fashion and showbiz news was dominated by the super-sleek, super-slender – read dangerously underfed – supermodel. Whilst fashion designers sought the perfect human coat hanger, the general public found the sight of super-skeletons strutting their stuff just a tad distasteful. Nevertheless, whilst the ideal human form ought not to be capable of slipping through storm drains, the idea of skinny is everything in today’s digital world.

Thankfully, gone are the days of monster television sets and personal computers the size of planets. No longer do we need to compromise our living space just to accommodate the electronic goods that our consumer impulses constantly demand us to acquire. Indeed, the revolution that introduced Apple Macs, slimline desktops and both plasma and LCD television screens is set for yet another overhaul.

The OLED Revolution

Welcome to the age of the OLED (organic light emitting diode) screen – an ultra-thin standard of digital screen that demands significantly less energy and offers a far more advanced picture quality than anything on today’s market.

Sony’s XEL-1 OLED TV is the first of its kind to use such technology and comprises a television screen depth of just 3mm! With new products including large screen televisions and ultra-slim personal computer screens set to enter the market towards the end of 2009, the OELD will be the ultimate accessory for the living room and home office.

Moreover, home improvement specialists will take great delight in the availability of increased space around the house. Ultra-thin televisions also mean that they are ultra-light, something which the current selection of plasma and LCD screens cannot boast. This means that future OLED screens may be mountable on partition walls, whilst the introduction of OLED computer screens will mean that workstations cope with significantly lighter loads, thus allowing for smaller, more compact units.

Space efficiency is certainly an attractive variable for anybody looking to improve their living space, whilst it also allows for a greater freedom of creativity when it comes to organising the positioning of furniture that would otherwise be dependent on where the digital equipment had to be!
