An organic light emitting diode (OLED) is a light-emitting diode (LED) in which the emissive electroluminescent layer is a film of organic compounds which emit light in response to an electric current. This layer of organic semiconductor material is situated between two electrodes. Generally, at least one of these electrodes is transparent.
There are a lot of similarities to be had between the LED TV and the OLED TV. Both the LED TV and the OLED television feature some of the best contrast levels in the TV market. They both have deeper blacks than other televisions. This means that the black comes across as darker, and contrasts more with the other colors. This helps these other colors to stand out more. Both types of TVs are also thin, and are generally thinner than other types of TVs, including LCD TVs. There are a few major differences between the two types of televisions. The main differences focuses around the backlight. The LED TV is actually an LED backlit LCD TV, utilizing LEDs for the perfect backlighting. OLED TVs, on the other hand, do not need a backlight to operate. The LED technology is relatively old when compared to OLED technology. OLED TVs are newer, and are using the most recent form of LED technology. With LED technology, the lights are bright white and are forced through a color filter. With OLED TVs, each LED is actually creating the color that is needed. This is what creates the more dynamic picture, giving OLED TVs a nicer picture than LED TVs.
Put simply, a standard LED screen is essentially a lamp made from light-emitting diodes, whilst the OLED screen is made from millions of small LED's, the 'O' stands for 'organic'.
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.
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.
The actual price hasn't been disclosed by any of the brands who unveiled their OLED TVs.
An OLED display works in a similar manner to that of an LED display, but with no backlight. This enables the monitor or screen to display deeper, more intense levels of color, particularly darker colors.
The basic OLED TV design (called a "True-OLED" TV) uses 3 color OLED sub-pixels (Red, Green and Blue) to create each 'pixel'. But some companies are using a different archicture, called WOLED-CF which uses four white OLED subpixels with color filters on top (RBG and W). This is also called a RGBW design. The WOLED-CF technology was developed by Kodak (and the IP is now owned by LG Display), and it should make the OLED panel easier to make. However it will also be less efficient. LG Display's OLED TVs which will be released in 2012 will be based on this design.
LED televisions are currently LCD televisions with LEDs used as back lighting. They use the same display technology as other LCD televisions but have replaced the CCFL lighting. There is a new breed of LED television about to be launched. Organic LEDs known as OLED are being developed for a true LED display. Unlike LCD which uses a light behind liquid crystal shutters, OLED televisions use red, green and blue LEDs at each pixel location to generate the color and intensity of the pixel. OLED televisions are promising to be slimmer than ever before and are likely to reduce build costs in the future. For the immediate future in 2012, expect to be paying a premium for the new LED technology.
Nothing. An led is a solid state device.
Halogen light glows and LED is dull.
bob your maw
There is no difference. They are just different ways of saying the same thing. I hope this helps :)
