OLED TV, or organic light emitting diode TV, boasts of a richer television viewing experience and is seen as the next level of the currently popular LED TV models. With an approximately 3 mm thin panel and impressive image contrast, colour, and brightness, the OLED is said to be the future of the TV industry. Well, probably until it lowers its price. Costing around $2500, OLED TV displays are highly-coveted for its features, yet it’s not so attainable.
Let’s see if the technology justifies its price tag.
1. Impressive contrast
OLED TV boasts of the ability to totally turn off an organic pixel, allowing it to produce deep black hues in astounding dark scene detail. The OLED T has a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1, compared to most LED TVs’ 500,000:1.
2. Life-like colours
OLEDs are able to intensify brightness and filter colours through a special micro-cavity structure that reproduces as much as 105% of the NTSC color space. This means pictures look much more life-like, as if the characters are jumping out on you.
3. High resolution
The OLED’s 960 x 540 native screen resolution for even the smaller models rivals that of a 40-inch LCD TV.
4. Energy efficient
Because the OLED technology gets rid of the need for backlighting, it is more energy efficient and consumes up to 40% less power than the usual 20-inch LCD displays.
5. Environment friendly
OLED is comprised of a highly organic carbon material.
The Samsung OLED TV Experience
A lot manufacturers have already come out with their own versions of the OLED technology, with Samsung leading the way with its 40-inch HDTV OLED and Netbooks. The proliferation of OLEDs is in its infancy at present, but it is expected that more OLED models will be out in the market in 2010. So far, Samsung has a 14.1-inch and 31-inch OLED panel in its upcoming lineup and LG has begun selling its 15-inchers.
Samsung remains at the top of its game in terms of providing quality viewing experience. Industry talk reveals that it is preparing for the launch of a new 5.5th generation technology for its 30-inch model, reportedly with a panel size of 1320mm x 1500mm. Expected launch of the new OLED models is early 2010.
Samsung boasts of being at the top of its game when it comes to LED and OLED TV displays. With the next-generation OLEDs about to be released in 2010, these will surely be in everyone’s wishlist. Know more about Samsung LED TVs pcrush.com
