[QUOTE="Rachel_Sandford, post: 782853, member: 368463"] OLED (organic light emitting diode) screens are not exactly new technology. You can find them on your smart phone. In the world of TV manufacturing, however, they are quite rare. LG is attempting to change that with the debut of the largest OLED TV in the world. The Korean company featured a 55-inch, 4mm thin TV on their blog, discussing the improvements they made to the technology. Instead of three-color RGB, this latest OLED features four colors, adding a white pixel, which promises a “brighter picture.” Unlike other TVs, each pixel emits all four colors (white, red, green, and blue) which means the screens have a faster response time and will offer a higher contrast than both LCD and plasma. Apart from that, the TV promises better off-axis. The question many people are asking, though, is will it be on the market? After all LG has had an OLED display on CES for years. According to sources, the company invested $226m for a production facility. Coupled by the fact that this new TV is said to be more economical than previous technologies, it seems that OLED is well on its way to being released, and the US market is likely to be the first to get it. One of the appeals of OLED screens is that they can be printed onto really thin surfaces and can be flexible. This also can make it cheaper to produce, which means even the largest screens can be made to be affordable. Though this probably won't be affordable enough to be in a typical home till its novelty has worn off. So in the meantime, most of the world may have to busy itself with Sharp's new Quattron technology, and if even that's out of the question, then Apple TV, which has been designed for dorms instead of high end homes, may be the next best thing.
