TechOn is reporting today that large OLED panels should become available mainstream starting in 2010, with LG Display planning 20-inch displays for this year and 40-inch displays by 2012.
Says VP Won Kim, in charge of OLED Sales & Marketing at the firm: “They may be expensive, but it will be possible to buy a 40-inch class OLED TV in 2012.”
OLED displays offer superior quality to LED LCD displays, and can be as thin as a a few millimeters.
The current 15-inch OLED display offered by LG has a contrast ratio of 100,000:1 and “color reproducibility range of 98% of the NTSC standard.”

LG Electronics has announced that its first AMOLED flat screen TV will be soon available in Korea and rest of the world following next year. LG first revealed the 15 inch AMOLED display in January 2009 during the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas and was supposed to arrive in stores this summer.
Unfortunately LG has yet to release the full details about the device but according to the press photos it should feature at least one HDMI and one USB port. The display measures only 3,2 mm in depth and the vertical viewing angle is adjustable. No word yet on whether the display has an integrated digital tuner.
The display rivals Sony’s current AMOLED display known as XEL-1 and is estimated to match the price of it as well. The 11 inch XEL-1 currently retails for around $2,500.
The display will be showcased at IFA 2009 show which launches this Friday in Berlin. According to some rumors Sony will step up in Berlin and show the next generation of its AMOLED displays with a bigger (rumors have it at 21 or 27 inch) XEL-2. LG is going to show off an even bigger 40 inch AMOLED TV in the future as well. Philips, Samsung, Pioneer, anyone, got a 52 incher?

At the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, LG Electronics is showing off an ultra-thin 15-inch Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) display. The screen measures just 0.85mm thick, less than half the thickness of similar display that the company plans to ship later on this year.
The 15-inch 2.5-mm thick screen will be released in the second half of 2009, according to LG Electronics USA. Young Su Kim, an engineer at LG Electronics USA, said that the OLED screens have much more vibrant color and use less power than the competing technology.
Lower power consumption is achieved as OLED screens do not use a backlight like LCD, which also makes them thinner. The organic material in OLED displays emits its own light.
