Simply LED TV Wall mounts

Imagine a tv screen that only weighs a few ounces, is as thin as a piece of paper and is so flexible that it can be bent around anything while continuing to display images, and you’ll begin to see why organic LED TV (or OLED) is the future of television.

An OLED tv is a tv that uses organic carbon based compounds which emit red, green and blue light. There are two types – small molecule and polymer. Sony, the creators of the world’s first organic led tv, used the small molecule type due to its longer lifespan.

		The tv’s work by compressing a layer of organic materials between an anode and a cathode, which are in also sandwiched between two glass plates – a top plate (seal) and a bottom plate (substrate). The panel is then supported by hard plexiglass which protects the inner materials and allows the oled tv to be mounted with tv wall mounts. An electric current is then passed between the two conductors, producing bright electro-luminescent light directly from the organic material. An OLED tv differs from an LCD TV in that no backlight is required to energise the organic colour compounds and there’s no ‘twisting’ of crystals. The result is a display that can be made extremely thin and uses considerably less power, saving the user considerable amounts on their electricity bills. The screens excel in black levels and contrast, with the latest Sony television quoting a massive 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio (and no that’s not a typo) compared to the highest tv lcd of 10,000:1. Since the tv’s don’t have a backlight, they don’t have to block light out when not required and also produce black levels never seen before.

The displays also have superior picture quality with deeper and more lifelike colours, with a colour gamut exceeding that of NTSC standards and as with an organic led tv every light is lit independently, they create light rather than blocking it as an lcd would. This means they can support almost perfect viewing angles up to 170 degrees!

The displays also dramatically enhance the viewing experience, coping with action and sports programmes better than any other tv and providing sharper frames that really pop out of the picture with refresh rates up to one thousand times that of an LCD.

In theory as an OLED requires very little power to operate, it should last for an extremely long time. However, the blue organic phosphor used has a short life of around 7,000 hours (yet to be tested) and the red and green may not last much longer. Time will tell and we’ll have to see how the first prototypes cope over the next few years.

The panels may also be at risk from screen burn due to the organic material being used. Again, time will tell but the effect is not expected to be as dramatic as plasmas.

OLED’s are still quite small in size as they’re new to the market, but have the potential to become huge – just image a 9 foot wide tv in the middle of your living room! With all this promise there’s no doubt that OLED will be leading tv technology for years to come, so stay tuned!
