Sometime shortly after Philips introduced it first digital photo frame — let’s call it CES, January 2006 — something happened to the industry: it went to crap. Instead of focusing on quality displays vendors started tossing in gimmicks to sell their goods. This might change now that 7.6-inch OLEDs are going mass production.

Already, Kodak is rumored to have placed an order for the medium-sized panels set to roll off the lines in September at CMO’s Chi Mei EL (CMEL) factory. That should mean incredibly vibrant, thin, high-contrast

frames with 16.7 million colors spread across 800 x 480 pixels just in time for the holidays. While dropping these pricey displays into low-cost netbooks would be a stretch, we wouldn’t be surprised to see a few of those 7-inch UMPCs make the move to OLED as well.
