With 2012 on the horizon, major manufacturers like LG are all geared up to bring the OLED TVs to their consumers. However, the question is that are they so expensive to manufacture that the end price might deter consumers from opting for them? According to Paul Peng (AUO vice president), the technology and capacity currently associated with the production of big OLED panels are indeed at the moment, making it hard to decrease their cost. Improvements in pricing and production are expected by Peng to reach some sort of a standard in and around 2014. Whatever the situation is at this time, LG Display is expected to produce around 30,000 OLED TV panels per month for their 55″ television sets in the latter half of 2012.
David Su, the chairman of Lextar Electronics, estimated that the OLED TVs will in all probability be quite costly indeed. According to him, the cost of the OLED TVs, when they come out could be so hefty that they may not turn the attention of the customers toward them right away. However, as is the case with new technology, it is expected that OLED TVs will find their ground as well if the manufacturers are willing to invest and wait. In the meanwhile, check out the fabulous LED and plasma TVs like the LG LW6500, Panasonic TC-PGT30, Sony XBR-HX929 and plenty of other models that are at the top of the list right now.
