OLED Vs LCD Already?

Filed under: LCD — timwang @ 05:11:04 pm

Sony recently pushed out their new product: OLED (Organic Light Emitting Display) TV XEL-1 (11 inch) which is only 3 millimeters thick! The marketing price is around $1700 which is in the same price range of a Sony 40 inch LCD. This is still too early to compare OLED vs LCD due to the high cost of this new technology. However, OLED is far more efficient in electricity consumption than traditional LCD. It's funny to say "traditional LCD" while many of our university labs are still using CRT monitors... In short, OLED is a thinner, more efficient in power, better graphics screen display technology than LCD. I have heard OLED has very obvious improvement on motion graphics with high frame sets (graphics with high speed motion) over LCD.

What's OLED's weakness? Low life expectancy. The current OLED technology is only going to last half as long as the LCDs. But it still should provide you 30000 hours of viewing. Another problem with OLED TV is Sony is only roducing 2000 per month world wide at the moment. They say they are losing money on selling every single OLED TV.
