Looking at flat panel TVs this Christmas? mcelettronica.com has a great article on their site by Diego Villa that goes through the history, technology, pros and cons of OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) TV technology. For most readers, you will remember that OLEDs are created when an LED device produces light from organic materials placed between two layers, anode and cathode. More televisions are popping up on tradeshow floors using OLEDs in their screens (Sony has one on the market now).

For those LED nuts out their that want a great explanation of the technology and its applications in these sets, check out Diego’s article.

An excerpt from the article:
“OLED TV (Organic Light-Emitting Diodes TV) a sci-fi gadget that becomes reality. A very large screen high-definition TV at less than 1/2 cm thickness? A TV monitor that can be rolled up and put into your bag after use? A display device weaved in the sleeves of your jacket? Sounds like sci-fi? Not anymore in a very near future. All of these can be possible with the development of a display technology called OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diodes). Even today, this technology is actually being already used in a number of devices like mobile phones, PDAs, MP3 players, car radios digital cameras and just recently TV displays.”
