OLED is an acronym that stands for organic light-emitting diode. OLEDs are increasingly being used in top quality flat screen televisions to display images, lights and colours, as well as some premium smartphone screens.

TECHNOLOGY:
WHAT IS OLED?
OLED is an acronym that stands
for organic light-emitting diode.
OLEDs are still
relatively expensive to
produce, which means
they are also more
expensive to purchase.

IMAGE QUALITY
OLEDs have become increasingly popular in the
manufacture of televisions as they offer superior image
quality when compared to alternatives such as LCD. OLED
screens do not require a backlight like LCD screens, which
results in a more consistent quality of image that is more
vibrant with higher contrast. OLED screens also emit
around 50% less blue light, which is better for eye health.
COST
OLEDs are still relatively expensive to produce, which
means they are also more expensive to purchase.
However, the technology is beginning to come down in
price and some manufacturers are already able to offer
reasonably affordable televisions with OLED technology.
OLEDs are increasingly being used in top quality flat screen
televisions to display images, lights and colours, as well as some
premium smartphone screens. The organic part of the name
refers to the carbon film that lays behind the glass screen.
