This next year will be pivotal for OLED TV. WIth CES 2010 due to start in a few days, all eyes are on Las Vegas to see what the TV manufacturers will have on display.

More important though is will they have anything available to consumers? It’s been 2 years since the Sony XEL-1 was released to the public. It’s understood that Sony may be losing money on each XEL-1 OLED TV as the price is far too high to interest the general public and production costs are steep as well.

What we may see at CES are the following:

Sony OLED TV

Samsung OLED TV

LG OLED TV

Speaking of LG OLED technology, here’s some news from Kodak:

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Dec. 30 — Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE:EK) announced today that it has completed the previously announced sale of its OLED (organic light-emitting diode) business to an entity set up by a group of LG companies.

This move will tighten Kodak’s investment focus and strengthen its financial position. Financial details were not disclosed.

“As we said earlier this year, OLED is one of the businesses we wanted to reposition to maximize Kodak’s competitive advantage at the intersection of materials and imaging science,” said Laura G. Quatela, Kodak’s Chief Intellectual Property Officer and manager of the company’s OLED business. “This action is consistent with that strategy. Our OLED intellectual property portfolio is fundamental; however, realizing the full value of this business would have required significant investment.”

Sony OLED TV – Engineers Face Hurdles On Larger Screen Sizes

Sony engineers are facing technological hurdles in producing larger sized OLED TVs. This is according to Sony Corp. Executive Deputy President Hiroshi Yoshioka.

At a press conference on Nov 19, Yoshioka stated that their TV division is facing challenges. Sony currently buys LCD panels from Samsung and despite releasing the first OLED TV 2 years ago, has yet to come out with a reasonable sized OLED model that would be attractive to consumers.

“The business is tough without our own displays,” Yoshioka said in an interview at Sony’s headquarters.

“For the short term, Sony has been bullish about 3-D TVs, one area where rivals are also just getting started, and Sony is promising products next year.

With 3-D TVs, images appear to have depth and give an illusion of almost jutting out from the screen, although they require special glasses.”

Lots of talk about OLED TV lately but when will we see someting bigger than 15″ in stores?

In the last week or so there has been OLED TV news from both Sony and LG. Sony’s news is not good while LG’s is very good.

Sony announced that they are putting off introducing a larger OLED TV than the current XEL-1. A 27″ model was expected soon from Sony but with the current econnomic situation and losses at Sony, it may take a while longer.

On the other hand, the LG OLED TV news is much better. A 15″ OLED TV will be out shortly.

“LG, the world’s second-biggest TV brand, said in a statement that it would be unveiling a 15-inch AM-OLED TV at the IFA 2009 consumer electric show in Berlin in September.

The TV set would be commercialized in Korea in November and offered overseas next year, it said.

Research firm DisplaySearch expects the market for OLED TV to reach 2.33 million units in 2013 compared with estimated 320,000 units in 2011, according to data provided by LG.

“We are planning to unveil a 40-inch grade (OLED) product in a not too distant future,” LG quoted an executive as saying.”
