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. ”

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.”

OLED TV may not prevail according to speakers at the LED 2009 conference in San Diego.

LED edge-lit and LED back-lit LCD TVs will ship in ever increasing volumes.

“Keynote speaker Bruce Berkoff, chairman of the LCD TV Association, claimed that analysts are significantly underestimating the demand both for LCD TVs in general and specifically for LED-based, edge-lit, LCD TVs. Berkoff quipped, “In the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) and Vista (Vietnam, Indonesia, South Africa, Turkey and Argentina) countries, people will buy LCD TVs before they buy indoor plumbing.”

LCD TVs are becoming a commodity and LED backlighting allows manufacturers to charge a higher price.

“While the speakers shared a positive outlook on LEDs in LCD TVs, they also expressed doubts about the viability of OLED TV. Shin, Jacobs and Berkoff all believe that enhancements are coming so fast to LCD TVs that the OLED market will be stymied. Berkoff stated, “The best technologies don’t always win.”"

If you’ve followed the sagas of the Sony Beta VCR or the Canon SED TV at all, you’ll know that line is accurate.

It remains to be seen how successful OLED TV will be with increased competition from LED backlit LCD TVs.

A news release from South Korea claims a major advance in OLED display technology

SEOUL (AFP) — South Korean scientists have claimed to have developed an efficient “true blue” material that can accelerate the development of next-generation organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays.

The development was announced by Pusan National University chemistry professor Jin Sung-Ho, who has led a joint state-funded project with Seoul National University engineers.

South Korea, the world’s largest producer of liquid crystal displays (LCDs), is trying hard to develop more efficient OLED screens.

OLEDs must be made to mix green, red and blue lights. Scientists have developed efficient green and red OLED materials but they have had problems making a true blue OLED material.

Jin said his discovery would allow the creation of “energy efficient” OLED displays. Compared to LCDs, OLEDs offer a greater field of vision, better colour quality and require less power.
