Samsung have shaken up the world of OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) technology by previewing 14.1in and 31in panels. Previously, Sony had been capturing all of the OLED headlines with the introduction of a commercially available screen.
While Sony have stolen a march on the industry, their OLED screen is only 10.6in while the 31in Samsung brings with it the tantalizing possibility that OLED could soon become the technology of choice, eventually replacing LCD and Plasma.
The exciting thing for followers of OLED technology is that Samsung are talking about a launch date sometime in 2010.
OLED pixels generate their own light which brings a whole host of technological advantages. Every OLED prototype we have seen produces brighter, sharper images while using less power than any plasma or LCD TV. Samsung's 31in prototype uses less than half the power of a standard 32in TV, with the Full HD panel just a shade over 4.3mm thick.
