OLED TVs are among thebest TVsyou can buy in terms of colours and contrast, but thebest OLED TVsare not exactly the cheapest TVs around. That’s partly because many of them are adding extra tech to boost brightness and performance, but it’s mainly because while things have improved a lot in recent years, OLEDs are still pretty pricey to make.
A new breakthrough in Korea could change all that, and while so far it’s not a production reality it could mean the best OLED TVs in the not too distant future will be a whole lot cheaper.
The solution is a solution
And cost is the big obstacle in OLED tech. It’s why moving to OLED could mean amassive price hike for the iPad Pro, and why thebest small OLED TVs– which don’t have the same efficiencies or economies of scale as their larger siblings or the much smaller OLEDs in smartphones – cost the same or even more than bigger ones.
As we’re talking about a scientific paper here it’s clear that solution-processed OLED isn’t going to cut the cost of the best OLED TVs in 2023. However, it’s not all bad: cheaper, brighter OLED TVs are on the horizon, and in the meantime miniLED TVs continue to nip at OLED’s heels without necessarily costing quite so much.
