OLED TV makers look to shift out of neutral
CNN:
Though LG’s eye-popping OLED (organic light-emitting diode) display wowed audiences in Berlin last month, it’s best not to get too excited. There’s not going to be more where that came from, at least for a while.
Display industry is at least three years away from turning out larger OLED TVs at reasonable pricing.
The industry is still at least three years away from churning out standard-size televisions of 32 inches or larger at something approaching acceptable prices.
And though Sony grabbed all the attention in early 2008 with its $2,500 11-inch OLED, it’s faded into the background when it comes to nudging the technology forward. Initially promising to follow up with 21-inch and 27-inch models, Sony’s deferred those plans while battling bigger problems with its TV business.
