Why OLED TV is the next big thing

A very interesting story found at smarthouse.com.au

Here’s the introduction. Read more at the link above.

The next big thing in HD TV is OLED. The technology will result in thin screens, better picture quality and eventually cheaper large flat panel displays. It will also result in the death of LCD TV technology. However the technology is not without its problems.

So what is different about OLED TV technology.

Whereas a liquid-crystal display (LCD) removes light from a backplane to create its picture, an OLED emits light, which creates “a rather substantial amount of efficiency,” says Stephen Forrest, a University of Michigan at Ann Arbor vice president for research and a professor of electrical engineering and computer science. Since OLED pixels only consume energy when they’re in use, they can consume up to 40 percent less energy than LCDs. “LCD screens also have polarizers (applied to the LCD glass plate),” he says, “that make viewing very angle dependent. OLEDs don’t have all of the viewing angle deficiencies.”
