Sony Stakes its Future In OLED TVs With Huge Investment

by Thomas Houston on February 20, 2008 at 03:15 PM



Sony announced Tuesday that it will spend $200 million on OLED development and production. OLED, a next-generation display technology, can be made extremely thin and flexible because they are built from organic carbon materials. OLED displays are currently prohibitively expensive and small--Sony's newest $2500 OLED-TV is only 11 inches--and a drive towards larger and cheaper displays may explain Sony's huge investment in the technology.

The future for OLED looks brighter and brighter, thanks to Sony's investment and an increasing number of OLED prototypes and products becoming available on the market.
