OLED TV stands for organic light emitting diode television. From the word organic, it can be deduced that an OLED is using an organic based material like plastic. OLED television technology is an improved version of LED (light emitting diode). LED technology is a semi conductor that emits lights when an electric current passes through it and it is made of crystalline materials – glass. OLED display technology is the next generation screen technology. There are numerous portable devices that have an OLED technology incorporated in it and are very highly regarded. OLED technology has its advantages and disadvantages compared to other television technologies. Here are some of pros and cons of OLED television compared to other television:
OLED Advantages
- OLED technology does not require backlighting system to create sharper, better images compared to LCD television which need a backlighting system that in comparison hinder the quality of colors that can be displayed.
- The OLED TV technology is environmentally friendly compared to other televisions like plasmas and LCDs.
- It is more energy efficient, especially so for portable devices that use OLED technology, therefore the life span of the battery is improved.
- LCD television screens cannot produce deep black colors. Unlike OLED television screens which can give pure dark black colors as a result the images look brighter, sharper, and alive.
- When watching an LCD television you must be in the right position or else the picture that you are viewing will get blurred since it cannot be viewed from wide angles, whereas OLED displays can offer wide viewing angles. They can give almost a 170 degrees viewing angle.
- OLED television uses plastic materials hence they are lighter, thinner and flexible when compared to LCD screens.
OLED Disadvantages
- OLED TV has a shorter lifespan compared to other television of its kind.
- People with eye problems will have some difficulty watching OLED television.
- OLED screens can be difficult to view in bright light.
