OLED vs Laser TV

Exactly what are these new technologies?

OLED TVs and Laser TVs offer two versions of television technology. These two types of televisions have multiple similarities to consider. They also have individual benefits to consider before you make your final purchase.

First, there are concerns over both technologies and they are:

  • Laser: Some techies have raised questions of the effect of prolonged exposure to the lasers that project the image onto the screen. Manufactures say it is fine, but research is in progress.
  • OLED: The organic material will deteriorate and this affects the picture quality. We would like to add that this is after thousands of hours use. They are looking into prolonging its lifetime.

We are sure they will be improve and addressed over time, giving us all confidence in future developments.


OLED TV

Sony 11" OLED TVThe Technology Behind OLED

OLED television (Organic Light Emitting Diode television) features LEDs that have a luminescent layer that is made of organic compounds. This technology allows a matrix of pixels to be created. This matrix of pixels allows the LEDs to emit light of multiple different colors and intensity.


Benefits of OLEDs

OLED televisions allow for a wide range of colors. The matrix that is created, along with the organic compound, allows for amazing brightness and contrast. The OLED television allow for a deeper black on the screen, which offers greater contrast with each screen. OLED TVs are also known for their low power consumption. They do not use as much power as many of the TV types on the market today, including Laser TV.

The Technology Behind Laser Televisions

Panasonic Laser TVLaser TVs use multiple waves to create the colors that are needed for the television picture. The use of lasers allows for an accurate projection.

The waves follow the idea of the old projection TVs. Laser TVs are large, utilizing the laser technology to give a clear, sharp, stable picture over a large area with great color depth, contrast and strong blacks.


Benefits of Laser TVs

Laser TVs are known for having a wider range of colors than OLED TVs. These televisions are also known for being lightweight, and for being relatively thin. Laser TVs are known for having a long life, and for keeping the picture quality throughout their lives.

Choosing Between the Two

OLED TVs are perfect for people who want a smaller TV. The current technology only allows for smaller TVs at present. If you are looking for a larger TV, you will want to look towards Laser TVs. OLED TVs rarely tip the 11 inch for commercial production. Laser TVs, on the other hand, have been created, commercially, over 60 inches.

Laser TVs have come to the market at a lower price than OLED TVs. Eventually, the price of the OLED TV will drop. The technology is still new, and is still expensive. As technology progresses and the sizes get larger, prices will lower.

Laser TVs have progressed further than OLED TVs. Eventually, the technology behind the OLED TV will catch up. Until then, Laser TVs meet the needs of the consumer more than the OLED TV. Each TV serves a different market, as the projection technology behind the laser TV caters to a larger screen.
