The OLED Wireless Frame features wide screen display with a 16:9 aspect ratio and 800×480 resolution. It’s 2 GB of built-in internal memory can store up to 10,000 images. In addition, the frame incorporates an ambient light sensor which adjusts display brightness based on the surrounding light, so that no backlighting is necessary.
Connectivity to online photo and video sharing sites, as well as displaying pictures stored on a remote PC is made possible thanks to the frame’s built-in Wi-Fi capability. In order to organize, edit, and transfer pictures from a PC to the frame, one can use the KODAK EASYSHARE Digital Display Software .
“Our new OLED frame foreshadows a dynamic future of an exciting new generation of KODAK products that deliver unsurpassed image quality and unprecedented clarity and color for capturing and reliving life’s moments,” said Pete Jameson, general manager of the Digital Devices Group of the Eastman Kodak Company.
The OLED Wireless Frame utilizes the Kodak Perfect Touch Technology as well as KODAK Image Science, thus delivering an optimized image quality display and enhancing the viewing experience. Additionally, a premium audio system was designed into the frame. The frame will retail for US $999 (MSRP) and will be available from November 2008.
