It's an exciting day for us OLED geeks at Kodak - today Kodak launched the World's First AMOLED Digital Picture Frame! Kodak invented OLED technology and it's so rewarding for the entire team to see it in our product.

For those of you new to display technology, AMOLED means Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode. Translation: A video capable display that produces images when light is emitted from organic material that has been stimulated by a current produced between two electrodes (hence the term diode).

AMOLED technology is ideal for displaying high-resolution images with vivid colors and depth.  This is because OLEDs emit their own light, resulting in amazing contrast ratio, color saturation and very deep blacks.  We engineers try to quantify how great the images look with numbers like 30,000:1 contrast ratio, but you have to see it to believe it.  I've been working with this technology for 8 years and the beautiful images still amaze me.

As an added bonus, the frames have built-in Wi-Fi, so I can import all those great shots of my baby from the Kodak Gallery directly onto the frame. I can't wait to see her smiling face displayed on an OLED screen for the first time!
