LG Going Into OLED TV Production in July

[Guest]

if it is using a white oled with rgb filters isn't it really just an oled backlit LCD tv with pixel for pixel accuracy thus negating the bleeding issues normally associated with diffused backlights? (I'm assuming the filters are LCD) That being said, I was at CES and the LG tv is quite phenomenal. I liked it better than the Samsung one. Especially the passive (polarized) 3d as opposed to the active shutter glasses

Great move LG, OLED TV/fold-able TV/transparent TV is way better, more practical than useless 3D TV that force u to wear silly glass that some even require battery to run.

How many backlights are in a high end LED ? 120 ?
OLEDS will have 1 Million+ backlights...

Well, the next technology to come should be real LED TV (not the LCD fraud they sell as LED today). Samsung calls it Crystal LED (as opposed to Organic LED) to differentiate it from the current marketing gimmick. Its main advantage over OLED as I understand it is durability.

FUCK YEAH LG, START ROLLING OUT THOSE NICE DISPLAYS.

Yeah, organic LEDs have the durability problem, but I think that OLED pixels on TVs are big enough to not suffer a lot from watering down their light as time passes.

And I may add: CCFLs also have a durability problem, and they've been in use from the start.

[citation][nom]alidan[/nom]if they make a 24in 1920x1200 monitor for the pc with a built in tv tuner, i would buy it in a heart beat if its under 600$i miss having the deep blacks of my crt... dont miss the headaches or the 1024x768 though (it could do higher, but couldn't read crap on it than.[/citation]
It is not that far off....

"Durability" is up to 100,000+ hours which is at least as good as current LCD / Plasma screens.

is that all colors or taking into account blue degradation? blue in oled dies faster than others if i remember right, is that takeing into account that?

GUYS GUYS GUYS... today's led tv's are LCD PANELS with LED BACKLIGHTS. LG is starting production of an OLED PANEL Which is The BRIGHT future of tv's and monitors. We are talking about 0.01 ms responce time (lcd tech is 2-16ms) Perfect contrast ratio(OLED panels don't have backlights cause they emit their own light) Superior viewing angles,insane refresh rates(first oled panels will have about 600hz but the technology allows theoreticaly to reach 100.000hz compared to the pitiful 120hz or fake interpolated 240hz of the lcds) It's even better than CRT panels thinner than lcd and blah blah blah...sorry for my bad english, for more info go search on wikipedia: OLED.

LOL, not used to it : )

2k and 4k resolution TV's. Though they may skip 2k resolution, the difference between 1080p and 2k is marginal, most likely not even noticeable to most users.

But resolution has nothing to do with the technology employed in the panel.

WOLED, which is what LG is making, isn't the same design or technology as most OLED technology you've read about. They don't use red, green, blue, and white LEDs (or OLEDs, for that matter). Instead, they use only white OLEDs, and then filter the light coming out using red, green, blue, or clear filters. So you don't have the problem of the blue LEDs fading faster than the red or the green, because they're all using the same lighting elements. The problem I have with this is I wonder what they're using to make the white OLEDs. Typically, two approaches are used to make white LEDs: Use a UV LED and apply a phosphorescent material that spreads the light spectrum out across the visible spectrum (very evenly), or use a blue LED and apply a different phosphorescent material that again spreads out the spectrum, but with a peak in the blue frequencies near the original LED output frequency. The latter produces a less-complete "white" light that lacks some of the highest blue-violet color frequencies, and the former can expose viewers to UV radiation. And both get dimmer over time because of both the decay in LED output (which in this case would presumably be blue OLED output), and the degradation of the phosphorescent material. The former problem will cause the TV to dim over time, which LG could correct by gradually increasing the brightness in firmware. The latter problem could conceivably cause a color shift by increasing blue intensities while reds and greens get dimmer.

Frankly, I'm more impressed by SONY's Crystal LED technology. LG's use of RGBW filters means that your power consumption will be more greater than true OLED since most of the output of each OLED pixel color component will be blocked. Also, the surface will be hotter since all of those wrong-frequency photons will need to be converted from light to heat. Imagine a blue screen: All of the "blue" OLEDs will be generating white light (basically a full visible-spectrum spread), which is then filtered so that only the blue photons are allowed to pass and all of the others (90% of them?) are blocked. The same blue screen rendered in true OLED or Crystal LED would use just blue LEDs emitting blue photons. No transformation of light into heat. No (nearly) wasted energy.

I am waiting for 32 - 36 - 40 " OLED, the current crop of LED TV's disgust me with their bleeding edge lights.

 

[SlitelyOff]

So...uses cheaper materials, but costs 4 times as much...makes perfect sense.

This information is so similar to the article above and the comments here (except for the sticky Caps Lock key). Interesting...

Actually, I read a korean news site and the date has been set for a June Release. So far I expect the price to be around $6500-7500. I already sold two TVS in my house. I'm getting rdy for this sweet baby. Another thing that was just recently announced. Samsung is abandoning their RGB plans and changing to WOLED technology, the same one LG uses. It seems like Samsung realizes LG's tech is the superior one as of now. Time will tell.
