Here’s a good video clip of LG’s 15″ OLED TV at CES 2010 in Las Vegas. It is still only available in Korea but rumored to be available in North America sometime this year. Maybe something for your next Christmas wish list?

Yes, 2016. A long time to wait for a decent sized OLED TV at a reasonable price.

This forecast is according to Won Kim, LG Display’s OLED sales and marketing VP speaking at FPD International 2009, in Yokohama City, Japan.

LG is still planning to release their 15 inch OLED TV by the end of 2009. That’s fairly exciting as there isn’t much of 2009 left.

LG Display plans to release 20-in and larger OLED TVs in 2010, 30-in and larger OLED TVs in 2011 and 40-in and larger panels in 2012.

“Forty-inch and larger OLED panels will be fairly expensive in 2012, but they will be available in the market,” Kim said.

LG has decided to wait until 2012 to produce a 32″ OLED TV.

“LG Display’s CEO on Friday said his company plans to build 32-inch organic light emitting diode (OLED) television panels in 2012. Products using the technology are becoming more common, as OLED products do not require a backlight, which means they can be much thinner than conventional LCD or plasma displays, while offering improved brightness and deeper black levels. “We will focus on TV panels rather than cell phone panels because the larger the display, the more efficient the OLED technology,” said CEO Kwon Young-soo in a meeting with reporters. The new revenue stream will require added resources, and to this end, LG will hire some 1,700 employees for the new venture, Young-soo said.”
