Samsung recently exhibited a 19″ OLED TV with a panel produced by an inkjet method.  It is not full HD but has a 960 x 540 pixel panel. You can bet this will not be in stores for the holidays but it is an important step forward in OLED TV technology.

Producing larger panels efficiently and cost effectively has been a major roadblock so far in the development of consumer ready OLED TVs.  A number of companies have been working on a printing process for OLED panels but this is probably the first TV exhibited using this process.

Acccording to my friend at oled-display.net, Samsung is planning a pilot line for larger sized OLED TV panels. Using an 8G production line they plan to produce 4000 55″ OLED TVs in 2012.

This is great news for OLED TV fans as the largest OLED TV so far is a 15″ model from LG and those are just about impossible to find anymore.

A trial production of 42″ Samsung OLED TVs could begin as early as 2011 accroding to olednet.com

With the order of equipment to produce 5.5G panels, Samsung is expected to be able to produce 30″ and 40″ OLED TV models.

“Samsung SMD will be in full 5.5 generation’s system by the 1st half of 2011 with the completion of orders for 5.5 generation’s evaporator. It is for getting firm stance in mobile display market and in a more robust large-area AMOLED TV market.

The newly adopted 5.5 generation’s evaporator of Samsung SMD can increase the mobile display production volume up to two times, which is currently manufactured by 4 units of 3.5 generation’s evaporator and also can produce 42 inches of AMOLED. It can produce 4 sheets of 30 inches’ AMOLED which is introduced in the exhibition by Samsung SMD recently.”

Looking forward to doing a Samsung OLED TV review.

Today I have an interview with Erich Strasser from OLED Web-Company. His company owns and operates the leading OLED technology websites. He just got back from CES 2010 and I thought I’d ask him about his trip.

Admin: Can you please introduce yourself and tell us about your websites?
Erich: Our websites http://www.oled.at (german) and http://www.oled-display.net are the leading OLED information websites. Our goal is to inform our visitors about the newest products, findings, forecasts about and with OLED Display technology.

Admin:  How long have you been involved in OLED TV technology?

Erich: We started www.oled.at and www.oled-display.net about 7 years ago.

Admin:  Do you think OLED TV will eventually take over from plasma and LCD technology?

Erich: Yes I am sure about this. OLED is the future in the HDTV technology. OLED TV promises Superior picture Quality, High Efficiency, very thin and in future also cost effective. The first OLED TV XEL-1 and the LG 15 inch hitting the market today are very expensive, but those prices will fall dramatically as the technology matures and volume ramps up. OLEDs will prove more cost effective because they require fewer materials and fewer processing steps than LCD and Plasma Tvs.

Admin:  What are your thoughts on the emergence of LED backlit TV? Can OLED compete against it anytime soon?

Erich: Not soon because the companies must build more OLED fabrication labs.

Admin:  Can you please tell us what impressed you most at CES 2010?

Erich: Sonys 24.5 inch 3D OLED, and the 14 inch transparent AMOLED Notebook from Samsung mobile Display.

Admin: Who, in your opinion, will first produce a consumer ready OLED TV with a decent screen size?

Erich: Sony is in some financial troubles, LG Display introduced the 15 inch AMOLED TV and have big plans. Samsung wants to bring out larger Displays only if they compete with LCD and Plasma at the price segment. So my opinion is LG Display will be the first with larger sizes.

Thanks to Erich for this interview on the latest OLED TV news. You can see more at his site, just click on this link: OLED Television

 

At CES 2010 in Vegas, one of the top items must be the new Samsung 3D OLED TV. This 14″ wonder is not yet available to consumers, perhaps not until 2013. Hopefully by then screen sizes will increase and the prices will come down a bit. Check it out..
