LG OLED TV

What’s new?

It is expected that LG is making use of AMOLED technology i.e. ‘active matrix organic light emitting diode’ in its screens. This technology is used in digital cameras, mobile phones and media players. This is because this new advancement is able to refresh fast and also consumes less power.

What is meant by OLED?

OLED is actually an abbreviated form of organic light emitting diode. It is also a type of LED (light emitting diode) but OLED uses a layer of organic compound for the purpose of emitting light when current is passed through it.  This organic layer is settled between two electrodes. OLEDs are also of two types. One makes use of polymers while other uses small molecules.

What makes OLED above LCD?

• OLED does not involves the use of back light and thus is able to give deep black levels unlike LCD (liquid crystal display). 
• Using OLED in televisions provide it a perfect viewing angle along with much refined colors. This is because OLED pixels directly emit light thus providing it a more artificial contrast ratio.
• It also provides the screen with a much wider angle ratio because the colors of pixel appear unshifted and accurate even if you change your viewing angle to normal i.e. 90 degrees.
• Motion is not blurred but extreme clear and absolute thus omitting the ghost effect.
• Other advantage of OLED adds the sleek design to the TV. This display makes it more slim and thin.
• OLEDs are also said to have faster response time as compared to its competitor displays.
