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.

The OLED television is something that is definitely recommended for any household. Think of a television that is completely flexible, no more than a few ounces in weight, and about as thin as a piece of cardboard. This new device has been put under the most serious tests. It is even able to be run over by a car and still work the same. "It is basically indestructible" says Sony.

OLED (short for organic light emitting diodes) TVs and displays, are constructed from a grid of transistors that make up a thin layer to for the pictures that are displayed on the screen, and because they are organic they are friendly to the environment also. They have many positives over its rivals, mainly the improvement in picture quality, plus a host of new features and the added benefit that they consume far less electricity than their LCD and plasma equivalents because they do not require to be backlit. All this from a display that not only has flexible qualities but is only millimetres thick.

The first OLED monitors are being made by Sony and Samsung SDI, but mainly Sony is leaving a big punch into the market. These televisions do not stop at just crystal clear entertainment, but also they carry onto the workplace. There are many features in this device that works great with any job and in any presentation which will blow your coworkers away. This OLED monitor is an amazing ten millimetres thin and can completely bend. There is even a prototype of a television made by Sony that is 0.9 millimetres thick.

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.

The light produced by the OLED televisions is actually organic. To be more technical there are organic light emitting diodes that produce the picture with highly announced quality. This comes to show you what OLED stands for. Play movies and view your home desktop at far better quality then the already amazing LED televisions. That's right you are even able to sync your computer with your television very easily. Simply connect it through a special cable that you can pick up at the local Radio Shack. This is the main thing Sony is trying to capture. They want the computer industry to flourish with these new televisions.

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. - 29872
