OLED TV - What Is All The Fuss?



Yet another new TV technology!......It's a real headache having to choose whether to go for an LCD or Plasma flatscreen, then along comes another.......OLED.

So what's so good about OLED, why is it worth our attention and eventually our money?


Back to Basics.... What's OLED?

Lets start with the basics, OLED stands for: Organic Light Emitting Diodes. LEDs surround us in every day life these days, you'll find LEDs used in a number of ways, in many of your devices in your home, for example they exist in digital clocks, forming the digits to indicate the time and also provide a way of visually indicating whether your electrical devices are powered on or in standby. The difference here is the O in OLED, which refers to the use of organic materials, these materials make up a thin film and when an electric charge is applied they then create light....Hence OLED.
