Very good news for Sony as they accelerate plans to ramp up production of larger size OLED TVV:

Wired: According to a Sony report straight from its Japan headquarters, its young OLED TV-display production unit will be funded with a $210-million (€130 million) investment in larger screens (over 16-inches at least) and will ramp-up by the end of 2008. This will put it in place for a full-line release of TVs in late 2009 or early 2010. Sony was the first manufactur

Another OLED TV review of the XEL-1’s alleged longevity problems. It should not affect the average user.

Sony’s first OLED TV, the XEL-1, has gotten loads of favorable reviews and hype (from us too). It does put out a hell of a picture, one that made our Wilson proclaim: “you’re essentially staring into what could very well be the perfect TV.” But Gary over at HDGuru isn’t so swoony, and his more rigid (and far HD geekier) tests show some serious (though not fatal) flaws you should definitely know about, if you’re thinking about dropping $2,500 or are just an HD freak. Like, for instance, that i

More good news for Sony. This may help all the bad press on the XEL-1 lifespan issue:

No one can deny OLED displays are superior in quality to LCD or Plasma screens. One problem which has been constraining the commercialization of large-size OLED TVs, however, is the high level of power consumption. On Monday however, Sony and Japanese chemical company Idemitsu announced they succeeded in increasing the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) in deep-blue fluorescent OLED devices to 28.5%. I know, right? Until today, 25% was believed to be the maximum level of luminous efficiency

Sony responds to the organic OLED panel longevity claims:

Well, according to DisplaySearch, the Sony XEL-1 OLED TV doesn’t live up to many of the claims that had it outperforming plasma and LCD TV’s. First there was the power consumption question, now it’s the actual lifetime of the OLED or Organic LED panel. I’m betting Sony will recover from this with a new panel design in the future. This certainly isn’t the end of OLED TV by any means.
Sony appeared to be on the verge of starting the next revolution in TV technology last year when it introduced its first OLED television, most notable for its paper-thin screen. The display, which uses bright and low-power organic light-emitting diodes, appeared so promising that the prospects for LCD and plasma TVs were soon called into question. (Credit: Sony) A new study, however, may cast that future in a different light. A research firm called DisplaySearch tested Sony’s XEL-1 TV a

From Engadget, an overview of the XEL-1 OLED TV review from Consumer Reports:

“Whether you love ‘em, hate ‘em or qualify ‘em with statements like “great for vacuum cleaners; not so much for HDTVs,” you’ve got to respect that fact that Consumer Reports buys all the goodies it tests. Especially when the item in question is a $2500 Sony XEL-1 OLED TV. Overall, we came to the same conclusion as they did: incredible tech appeal, great picture quality, poor input options and “are you kidding me” size-to-dollar ratio. We’ll even overlo”

For some reason the announcement of a newer, thinner OLED TV by Sony and the attention of an event gave someone cause to disassemble an 11-inch OLED TV that costs $2500. It’s 3mm thick, so reassembly was probably harder than disassembly. Anyways, something interesting to find out was that the mainboard, which seems disproportionate to the rest of the TV, is in fact the same board as those found in Sony’s Bravia line of TV’s, just shrunken down to fit into this amazingly thin TV. I must adm

Impressive. Sony has put the display panel used in its 3mm-thick 11in OLED TV on a crash diet and produced a version that’s less than a third of the thickness - not much beefier than a sheet of A4 paper, in fact. The new panel is just 0.3mm thick… How long before we can roll up our TVs and take them with us?
