Matsushita enter's mass production of OLED TV in 2012

Quote:

Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. from Japan wants to join forces for OLED Technology. Matsushita is already coming up with the plan for mass production of large 37 inch OLED TV by 2012. With their own line of OLED TVs it will be a tough competition to other flat screen TV manufacturers. Based on my information, Matsushita will be the first company to enter mass production of OLED-TV and to challenge Samsung in acquiring the highest share in the global flat TV market. According to Akira Kadota, spokeperson of Matsushita they have been quoted the aim of commercializing OLED TVs. At this point in time, Matsushita planned to launch the OLED TVs soon. Another much awaited OLED technology for us in the future. And let us hope for more...

Plasma is too big a seller for them to just up and quit. I believe you will see them for many years to come...

Since when is a 37" TV considered large?

Since they started talking about OLED TVs.

Are you telling me people wouldn't pay $2,500.00 for a "large" 11" OLED TV?

37" has always been large. Most people had smaller screens before LCDs became popular. Remember, a 37" CRT is a huge, heavy unit.

I would certainly hope not... While I expect their plasma lines to become more and more affordable, I know we'll be moving at some point and so will be purchasing another, larger set at some point.

What can we say -- it's a near final build of LG's 15-inch OLED TV that's set to go production in Korea before the baby New Year can suckle at the big one-oh. We could say it's beautiful, that even motion looked good pushing genuine blacks on this razor thin panel. But we wouldn't want to rub your noses in the fact that we're at IFA and you're not. Perhaps this will make you feel better: by the time it makes it Stateside in February or March it'll be carrying a price tag right around $2,500. Really, but it's Wireless TV-capable and that's gotta be worth something.

Oh, and LG tells us that its 32- and 42-inch OLED panels are on schedule and due to be released sometime in 2010. Yes, 2010. No word on price but it's going to be tres, tres expensive.

This will probably replace plasma and lcd TVs at some point, much like lcd replaced crt (plasma to some extent helped, but the pricing of LCD is what really drove the transition). From all accounts these OLED displays look incredible and so if the cost can be brought down over time as LCD was, hopefully this'll become the main tech. As long as response times are half decent. I heard the "LED" TVs that just used an LED backlight had poorer response times than equivalent standard LCDs.

Response time is not an issue with OLED:

OLEDs also have a faster response time than standard LCD screens. Whereas the fastest LCD displays currently have a 2ms response time (manufacturer's quote), an OLED can have less than 0.01ms response time.[44]
