OLED: Bring our visual experience to next level

OLED stands for organic light-emitting diode. Simply put, an OLED is made with organic compounds that light up when fed electricity. OLED technology is not exactly new to the market anymore. Cell phones have been using OLED screens in some form or another years ago. But now OLED televisions from Samsung and LG have drawn some serious attention from the crowd.

So, what makes an OLED TV better than an LED/LCD TV? OLEDs can be made to be extremely thin, small and remarkably flexible. On an OLED TV, each pixel lights itself up independently of the others. On contrast, LEDs are not small enough to be used as the pixels of a television, they are only used as the backlight for LCD televisions. This results in a substantial advantage that OLED has over LED/LCD, at the same time it means that OLED TVs will crush LED/LCD TVs in terms of picture quality. There is no doubt that OLED will provide a far more superior visual experience than our currently LED displays.

When it comes to a new technology like OLED TVs, apart from its mind-blowing capabilities, there is always a catch. Because OLED TVs are still in the development cycle, lots of aspects of the products are uncertain. Though it will become a popular trend in the foreseeable future, as for now, OLED is far away from our majority customers. Currently there are few OLED TVs in the market, from Samsung and LG. The options are limited and most importantly, they are all extremely expensive. A 55-inch one may cost you at least USD $9,000. Anyway, we have seen the potential of OLEDs, and we have every reason to be excited for this game-changer to come into our average customers’ eyes. Brace yourselves!
