OLED Television
OLED televisions are possibly the next generation televisions heading our way. Recent times have seen the home cinema experience revolutionized firstly by plasma and LCD TVs. The hot technology of the moment is LED television. But what is next in the pipeline, well Sony’s next generation display is the OLED television.
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.
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.
Samsung and Sony are leading the way with the development and production of OLED displays and monitors. Sony is the leader in the pack. The technology is not only finding its way into our homes but also into our businesses. The abilities of this new development can be applied to produce stunning results providing displays for the workplace with a 1cm thick flexible display. Sony is developing all the time and has plans for displays of a thickness that is a fraction of this.
The pace at which the television and display industry is travelling is astonishing, with LCD and plasma already producing high definition affordable quality displays for home and work. But advances in OLED pictures is set to astound, with Sony entering the market beginning with its smaller displays as would be expected. But at the pace developments are moving it won’t be long before big screen televisions and displays enter the market, along with other manufacturers.
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.
