There have been some interesting OLED TV developments in the last month or so. None of them will be bringing a decent sized OLED TV to your home anytime soon though.

Sony announced that they won’t be coming out with a 27in OLED TV in the near future as many had hoped. They are still having difficulties with production and costs.

Mistsubishi on the other hand has displayed a 149in OLED TV. It is actually made up of 10cm x 10cm OLED displays.  How that will help drive the technology to manufacture appropriate sized OLEDs is beyond me.

More recently, Kateeva, a start-up based in California has announced a process for printing large sized OLED panels.

It’s large area printing technology will apparently print OLED panels as large as 5 by 6 feet or 1.5m x 1.8m at a cost of 60% of current LCD manufacturing costs.

This has the potential to advance widespread OLED TV production sooner than many had anticipated. However, they haven’t actually demonstrated a completed, working OLED panel. Deliveries to TV manufacturers aren’t expected to start until 2011.

Here’s a full story on the Kateeva OLED printing process.

Note: This site was recently hacked and if you’re looking for brom***ine you’re in the wrong place.

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.

Here’s a video of the 24.5″ Sony 3D full HD OLED TV. The 3D effect is created using an active shutter system. The Sony rep  at CES 2010 gives no promises however as to whether the technology will ever be available to consumers. This is a pure concept model. Too bad as many of us were hoping for a larger sized Sony OLED this year. Check it out.

The LG OLED TV, a 15″ model is now available in stores, but only in South Korea.

YouTube Preview Image

There are not too many details but the price is rumored to be similar to the Sony XEL-1 OLED TV. In other words, still really expensive.

I’m hoping to review a larger sized LG OLED model as soon as CES 2010 opens in a day or two.

OLED TV – CES 2010

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.”

Be sure to visit in the coming weeks for OLED TV reviews from CES 2010
