CEATEC 2007 – Sony OLED TV on display

CEATEC 2007 starts this Tuesday and promises lots for OLED TV and FED TV fans.
A big theme at this year’s show will be flat-panel TVs but for once the headlines won’t be all about the biggest TV yet developed.

The prime attraction is likely to be a much smaller set from Sony Corp. based on OLED (organic light emitting diode) technology. Sony has been promising an OLED TV for some time and prototypes impressed visitors to January’s CES show in Las Vegas. OLED promises is brighter, more colorful picture than current LCD (liquid crystal display) or PDP (plasma display panel) sets and Sony plans to unveil its first commercial TV based on the technology at the show.

OLED also has the advantage of being thinner than current flat-panel sets — a challenge that LCD TV makers aren’t taking lying down. Victor Co. of Japan Ltd. (JVC) is reported to be readying a TV set just 4 centimeters thick and will have it on display at Ceatec, according to the Nihon Keizai Shimbun newspaper.
