Just out today, a great announcement by Sony on OLED TV panel production investment:

On the winning side of the format war, Sony Corporation can now focus more on other businesses like that of OLED (organic LED) panels. Although it has already released its first OLED TV the company is now looking to use the technology to make panels that are larger than 11-inches and for that it has decided to invest about $203 million. The money will help develop the means and iron out the bugs that would stand in the way of making medium and large OLED panels. The move is set to help the c

OLED TV predictions from Tech-On!

It’s always hard to say if new TV technologies will take off, or fall flat. Just look at HD DVD. Three or four months ago, it was hot.

That may take a while as mass production facilities aren’t up and running yet. Even Sony has stated that mass manufacturing of OLED TV’s will be a “challenge”. Enough from me, enjoy the video.

For around $1800 you can buy an 11-inch OLED TV from Sony…but you’d better be quick.

In Tokyo this week for the White LEDs 07 conference, we wandered into the Sony showroom and saw at first hand the company’s 11-inch OLED TV, which went on sale mid November.Production is limited to 2,000 units per month, and so most sales will be made through advance orders at major retail outlets. The 11-inch TV costs 200,000 yen including tax (around $1800).

The world’s first OLED TV is incredibly thin, measuring only 3 mm at its thinnest point, and provides an excellent image even at very wide viewing angles.
