LG is showing, among tons of other fantastic new displays, its new 31″ 3D OLED TV.

“For a peek at the future of Home Entertainment, LG will be displaying its revolutionary OLED TVs at IFA, including a new 31-inch 3D model with a depth of just 0.29 cm, the slimmest of any comparable set in the world. Dispensing with back-screen lighting, OLED TVs’ pixels generate their own light to produce an entirely new level of color, clarity and depth of blacks. Pencil-thin and exceptionally light, LG’s OLED TVs are an elegant addition to practically any environment and surface, as the ceiling-mounted sets in the LG OLED zone at IFA can attest. Demonstrating the extraordinary possibilities for 3D on an OLED TV, the 31-inch 3D model seduces viewers into a world with a level of detail that is a wonder to behold. ”

A couple of updates on two OLED TV models from LG.

First, according to LG USA, the LG 15EL9500 will not be released in the U.S. in the near future.  I don’t have any more details than that at this time.  The much rumored Summer 2010 launch is apparently off.

Secondly, LG will be showing a new 31″ OLED TV at IFA 2010 in Berlin, starting September 3. No details are available on this new model but once again, it’s probably just a demo model that won’t be available anytime soon at any cost. That’s not to say that it won’t be a stunning piece of display technology to drool over. You just can’t buy one yet.

Perhaps LG will have more news on its OLED plans at IFA 2010

The LG 15EL9500 OLED TV has been available in the UK for a few months now. However, the widely anticipated summer 2010 launch in North America seems to be slipping away. With the demise of the Sony XEL-1 and no replacements in sight, this leaves consumers in North America with no OLED TVs to choose from.

The LG USA and LG Canada sites have no information on the 15EL9500 unlike the UK site – LG OLED TV

I’ve contacted LG to see if I can get an update on the status of the 15EL9500. Please check back in a couple of weeks to see what’s up.

The LG 15EL9500 OLED TV is now available to consumers in Germany and the UK. Only the second OLED TV ever released to the public, this 15″ model is the first in LG’s planned line of OLED TVs.

LG is still planning a U.S. release of the 15EL9500 later this summer.

Please check out LG OLED TV for updated information. Thanks.

Dupont announced that they have achieved record performance from printed OLED TV display materials.

“DuPont announced that it has achieved record performance in printed organic light emitting diode OLED displays, sufficient to enable future adoption of OLED television (TV).  Using proprietary DuPont Gen 3 solution OLED materials, DuPont has demonstrated for the first time a solution-based manufacturing process in which OLEDs can be printed cost effectively while delivering the necessary performance and lifetime.”

The high cost and complexity of manufacturing OLED TV panels has been the main factor in the slow introduction of OLED TV technology. Dupont has apparently found a way to conquer both of these stumbling blocks.

“OLED displays in portable devices are available in the market today, but the current high-cost of manufacturing with evaporated materials has limited market adoption and constrained OLED manufacturing for larger size displays,” said David Miller, president – DuPont Electronics & Communications. “Now, with DuPont printed OLED materials and process technology, fabrication costs can be significantly reduced, and manufacturing can be scaled to accommodate TV-size displays.”
