Oled TVs use Organic light-emitting diodes. They are supposed to be crystal clear.
The actual price hasn't been disclosed by any of the brands who unveiled their OLED TVs.
It is very true that everyone can not afford OLED TV. The expected price of LG OLED TV is into five figures. But it will be better confirmed when OLED TV will be launched.
OLED's are brighter than LEDs, OLED's do not require Backlighting. They are easier to produce and can be made to larger sizes. They are expensive, water easily damages them.
LG has stated their OLED TV will be released in early Q3 2012. Samsung has indicated there release will be in Q2.
An OLED screen is typically used in televisions that use a high definition display. The OLED light is what gives the high definition televisions a clear high definition picture.
The OLED TV can be the thinnest than any other TV technology. Samsung, Panasonic, Sony and LG are all preparing to release a range of OLED televisions with a thickness of as little as 4mm.
LG's OLED TV uses four base colors White, Red, Green, and Blue through a color filter. Other types of OLED uses only 3 base colors that are tuned to provide a full range of colors without the need for a fourth sub-pixel.
White OLED refers to the LG technique of adding a white LED to the red, green and blue LEDs in their OLED display panels. LG claim that it produces more faithful reproduction than just using red, green and blue elements. Whether or not that is the case is a matter of opinion. Before investing, it is always important to audition several models of television. Compare LG's white OLED screen to other OLEDs and you can decide whether LG have made an improvement.
Yes, AMOLED is a part of OLED only. Just that AMOLED are used only in mobile phones and cameras, whereas OLEDs are used by the TV manufacturers in making their OLED TV. I have even heard that LGs have unveiled their OLED TV in the recent CES and is planning to roll it out in the mid of this year.
So many brands are in line in making OLED TV. Some are Sony, Samsung, LG. Many more will be introducing the technology in the next year or two. Because of the simpler construction compared to LCD, OLED is likely to be the most common display in a few years from now.
OLED TV actually consumes much less power comparing to any other LCD or LED TVs. It's like OLED consumes almost 70% less power than LCD TV, but there are already some energy saving LED TVs in the market. Even so, OLED TVs are a lot more energy efficient, consuming about 40% less power than any latest LED TVs. That is again one of the strong points of OLED TV.
