Sony OLED TV 1mm Thick Screen

Sony has announced that it has made a breakthrough that may have significant effects on the home TV market. At only 10% of the thickness of the regular liquid crystal display, or LCD screen, the new organic light emitting diode or OLED is incredibly thin at less than 1mm.

At a mere 0.9mm, this is very easily, the thinnest large size TV screen ever produced. This is clearly a new hybrid technology that if it proves to be successful would drastically reduce the overall weight of a large flat panel TV.

This revolutionary organic material is capable of giving off its own light as a result new television is produced with this ingenious technology will not require a backlight which will again reduce the overall thickness of TVs.

If that wasn't enough the new screens will also only use a fraction of the power taken up by LCD units. According to the company, these new thin screens offer a far higher quality of color as well as dealing with moving images much more efficiently than LCD technology.
