OLED Displays

By Jean Bowie

First there was the LCD television, and then there was the Plasma television. Following that was the newly released LED television, but Sony is not stopping there. They are newly releasing the OLED television that is said to make all the other types of televisions a thing of the past.

OLED technology is set to make the current TV sets on the market history. These new type of sets are flexible, super thin, extremely light but remain almost unbreakable say Sony after extensively development. They will be every household's must have item.

Unlike conventional LCD TVs OLED TVs do not require to be back lit in any way, contributing to the fact that that they use up a fraction of the electricity that LCD and plasma sets use. They also have a plethora of new features that make them a must have piece of kit. It sounds too good to be true with all these benefits, so how is it possible? This leap has been made possible by the use of new technologies; the screen is made up of an organic layer of transistor forming the grid that makes up the crystal clear pictures whilst remaining only millimetres thick. And because the display is made up organic materials they are eco friendly too.

With Sony leading the way followed by Samsung this new technology does not just belong in the world of home entertainment but computing also. This brings possibilities for OLED displays into the business world for use in displays and monitors, with the impressive images and benefits from being super thin and light (with an OLED monitor measuring only 10 mm thick) being applicable to the workplace, the potential is massive.

OLED televisions and displays are such an advancement that at this early stage seem set to blow away their competitors in the LCD, LED and plasma markets. But as would be expected Sony will first start to introduce the smaller versions of they displays to the market with the larger displays planned one the market is established. Because of the advances and improvement in picture quality even the smaller displays will be so impressive that they expect them to become the market leaders, with the prospect of the large displays coming at a later date.

OLED actually stands for organic light emitting diodes, basic technology behind the stunning picture quality that we are beginning to see. With the latest LED televisions and displays already producing super high quality pictures it is hard to believe that OLED displays are set to eclipse what we are seeing. But this new form of display is set to take over the home and workplace cementing itself in both the home entertainment and computing worlds, with stunning high quality displays and ease of use.

As for the immediate future of LED TVs and displays, we should expect to see the first Sony produced displays appearing with Samsung shortly afterwards. The first displays produced will be 13 inches in size, but this is surely the start for what is potentially a new expanding market with larger improved sets set to follow in the very near future.
