Mon 1 Sep 2008
At the IFA 2008 exhibition in Berlin, Samsung has announced plans to release mid to large sized OLED TV’s starting in 2010.
At IFA, Samsung displayed two organic light emitting diode (OLED) screens – a 14.1-inch model and a 31-inch model, whereas its arch rival and LCD business partner Sony had the XEL-1 which will be the first OLED introduced to Europe and a 27-inch prototype which was introduced at the CES in Las Vegas earlier this year.
“Samsung will begin commercial production of mid- and large-sized OLED televisions around 2010. OLED is seen as a powerful contender for the future display market mainstream, given it is very high resolution, has a svelte profile and is extremely lightweight,” Samsung said in a statement.
“Electronics manufacturers have already begun exhibiting these next generation displays at major trade shows. However, Samsung is going a step further at IFA 2008, presenting the OLED as a finished TV product that features an elegant, optimised design. Samsung’s OLED TVs represent greater technology innovation and set a new standard for TV sophistication.”
Hopefully we’ll see some Samsung OLED TV reviews from IFA 2008 this week.

The much anticipated Samsung OLED TV will be launched at CES 2009 according to Young Joong Noh, developer of OLED parts at Samsung.
He claims the 14.1″ Samsung OLED TV will be a much better product than the Sony XEL-1 OLED TV as the Samsung model will be full HD and 120hz capable. The Sony OLED TV is standard definition.
“Noh also claimed the technology was well in place for the larger sized screens, like the 31inch OLED screen on display at the Samsung stand, but the amount of TVs that make it through production is too low, as the larger size means they contain too many defects.”

It looks like we’ll see some larger sized OLED TV reviews starting next year. Samsung announced yesterday that their AMOLED panels for medium and large sized applications will be mass produced by the end of 2009.
“Currently the biggest issue with mass-producing AMOLED panels is production costs, but Lee explained once a capacity of three million units can be achieved, economies of scale are reached and production costs become more manageable. Lee pointed out that Samsung SDI will achieve a production capacity of three million panels in 2009, up from a current capacity of 1.5 million panels. The company also expects to double its capacity again by the end of 2010.”

Samsung has debuted it’s 31″ OLED TV at CES2008. According to Joshua Shim at aving.net, it’s a spectacular piece of flat panel technology:
“OLED and quadruple full-HD technologies represent an entirely new paradigm in picture resolution technology,” said Dr. Jongwoo Park, president of Digital Media Business, Samsung Electronics. “This is a level of clarity that is in some cases four times beyond current industry standards yet retains the slim fits and light weight that have made our models preferred among consumers.”
OLED is seen as a powerful contender to be at the center of the future display market mainstream given its very high resolution, svelte profile and extremely light weight. Electronics manufacturers have already begun exhibiting these next-generation displays at major trade shows, but Samsung is going a step further at CES 2008. The OLED is being presented as a finished TV product that features an elegant, optimized design.
Further, Joshua provides a few tantalizing specs for OLED TV fans:
The chic, ultra-slim OLED TVs employ AM OLED panels developed by Samsung SDI, a Samsung affiliate dedicated to display production. The finished products weigh some 40 percent less than other LCD TVs of the same size while boasting a contrast ratio of 1 million to one, color gamut of 107% and brightness of 550nit. Samsung will begin commercial production of mid- to large-sized OLED TVs around 2010.
