In an effort to find a new source of revenue, LG Display has announced that it now aims to produce 32-inch Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) televisions in 2012. OLED technology has enormous benefits in the form of picture quality, and due to the absence of a backlight, uses less energy than LCD and Plasma. Longevity of a OLED panel falls behind competing technology however, and many of ... [ read the full article ]

WTF. I was planning on replacing the elephant 1080i Projection TV in my family room with one of these TVs, an OLED. These are taking far too long to be produced... I can wait til' 2012 but for a 32"? I'm looking for like at least 50", perhaps bigger if the price is right, but that probably won't be for like 6 years :o
And I donno about LG, I mean I love my Voyager, just as if it was a Nokia! But an LG TV? Hmm...
I am ok with lighting the back of TVs but room lighting panels would be more exciting than those twisted ice-cream sundae looking florescent light-bulbs. To revolutionize what we call the light fixture alone would be a big advancement felt in every home, in both interior design and the energy budget.
You might have 3 or 4 lighting panels per household counting TV and computers, but add multiple room lighting panels for every room in every home and small office and it is an explosion of lower power technology for the masses.
I have yet to see one nice looking dining-room ceiling light that accommodates the twisted florescent lamps. OLEDs have great potential.
longevity vs energy saver? dude how much more energy are you saving from an lcd compared to an oled? is it enough to make you have to buy a tv more often? (although might be a good excuse when you tell the wife you want a new one!) I know leds are cheap, but i dunno if i would feel comfortable with my tv dying sooner.
