No Chance of Large OLEDs Evolving Much Any Time Soon

No Chance of Large OLEDs Evolving Much Any Time Soon

With IFA playing the role of scene for OLED TVs, and curved OLED TVs, from Samsung, LG, Sony and others, some may have mistakenly assumed that a competition with LCDs would soon amount.
This will not happen, according to the president of a major panel supplier from Taiwan.

AU Optronics (AUO) President Paul Peng believes that it will be years before large-size OLED technology can even think of posing a challenge to TFT LCD, marketing-wise.

OLED just isn't easy or cheap to manufacture in that size (50+ inches) and it will take a long time for researchers to create better methods of production.

Ultra HD HCG/WCG will also play a factor, as it will narrow down the image quality gap between OLED and LCD.

There is even a small chance of OLED never amounting to anything. I don't see that happening after IFA 2013, but nothing is impossible.
