40 Inch Panasonic OLED TV By 2011?

While the OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) revolution continues to hot up, it has been announced that Panasonic expects to be in a position to market its first 40 inch OLED TV in 2011. This is a step up from the original target of a 37 inch TV in the same timescale but one which has caught the eye of many OLED enthusiasts.

For those not aware of the OLED revolution, this is a new style of lighting system which is both organic, easier to manage, creates a better TV picture and uses a fraction of the power that systems of today use. There had been initial problems with the quality of the TV picture which added to the stop start stop start revolution that first came to the fore in the late 1990s.

However, the last 12 months has seen a number of major breakthroughs with the likes of Sony and Panasonic leading the way in the TV market. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg as OLED technology has the potential to change the whole electronic industry landscape. The leaders in the sector have been quick to appreciate the potential for the immediate future and literally billions of dollars of investment is pouring into the sector.
