If there's a way to make something thinner, you can be sure that Samsung is working on it.  At the 2006 Korea Electronics Show, Samsung a 17-inch AMOLED display that was a whopping 12mm thick, with the panel itself having a thickness of 1.8mm.  The display is based on OLED technology that gives you a screen that's as bright and as clear as LCD panels today, with lower power consumption and smaller sizes.

The display sports a 1600x1200 resolution, which is pretty high for a 17-inch screen.  And the response time of 0.01ms is about 100 times better than the best LCD anyone has seen, at least at those screen sizes.  This could definitely be a promising development.  Bravo to Samsung.

Some more specs on the display:

• Screen size: 345.6 x 259.2mm
• Aspect ratio: 4:3
• Viewing angle: >170 degrees
• Resolution: 1600 x 1200 (UXGA)
• Pixel pitch: 216um
• Response time: 0.01ms
• Colors: 262,144
• Brightness: 400cd/m2
• Contrast ratio: 1000:1

Most notable are the high viewing angle, which is easier to accomplish on an OLED than an LCD, the incredibly low response time, and high brightness and contrast ratio.  The colors could use a little work, but it's not like this is being released anytime soon.
