OLED TV panels come with either two or three layers of the organic compounds which are located in one super thin layer of the “glass”. The panel is supported by a hard plexiglass material which also protects the sensitive inner materials. Remember CRT (cathode ray tube) TVs? OLED displays use a cathode layer to introduce electrons to the first layer of organic molecules. Whether spread across a flat-panel screen or placed in the heart of a projector, all LCD displays come from the same technological background.
A matrix of thin-film transistors (TFTs) supplies voltage to liquid-crystal-filled cells sandwiched between two sheets of glass. When hit with an electrical charge, the crystals untwist to an exact degree to filter white light generated by a lamp behind the screen (for flat-panel TVs) or one projecting through a small LCD chip (for projection TVs). LCD TVs reproduce colors through a process of subtraction: They block out particular color wavelengths from the spectrum of white light until they're left with just the right color. And, it's the intensity of light permitted to pass through this liquid-crystal matrix that enables LCD televisions to display images chock-full of colors-or gradations of them. LED TVs are a different form of LCD TV and are sometimes confused with OLED TVs.
In Summary...
Boasting an infinite contrast ratio, OLED TV exhibits vivid colors and the smallest details regardless of the overall luminance of the on-screen image. In turn, colors and details throughout an entire image are preserved with utmost clarity and sharpness, even when displaying scenes with dark lighting. Such color capabilities are technically impossible with LED and LCD display panels. And at 1,000 times faster than LED/LCD displays, OLED TV shows crystal clear motion without any blurring or bleeding with all the benefit of a smart TV and internet TV build into it.

What is OLED Television?
An OLED TV screen uses a new display technology called OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diodes). OLED televisions are brighter, more efficient, thinner and feature better refresh rates and contrast than either LCD or Plasma.
OLED TV Technology
OLEDs are made by placing thin films of organic (carbon based) materials between two conductors. When electrical current is applied, a bright light is emitted. The OLED materials emit light and do not require a backlight (unlike LCDs). Each pixel is a small light-emitting diode.
Super OLED technology eliminates the need for a color filter as the OLED pixel unit comprises self-emitting RGB sub-pixels laid directly on the display panel, each emitting its own light. The technology is also able to differentiate varying degrees of blacks and shadows, so that users can enjoy unparalleled detail even in the darkest of scenes for the ultimate TV experience. It features unmatched vivid and true-to-life picture quality in both 2D and 3D, with significantly improved color accuracy compared to conventional LED TVs. Since light output on the Super OLED is controlled on a pixel-to-pixel basis, the truest blacks and purest whites can be achieved.
OLED TV vs. LCD TV
It’s always interesting and fun to compare visual display technologies. People get so excited and heated about the topic. Eventually most enthusiasts end up putting their hard earned dollars on one side of the battle, thus fueling the enduring debate. OLED (organic light emitting diode) is the newest technology in the lively TV/display market and my opinion is that it will be a viable alternative to LCD (liquid crystal display) TVs in the future. So which is better, LCD or OLED TV?
Despite their similarities, the two technologies are very different in the way they deliver the image to the viewer. OLED TV color information is produced using organic carbon-based compounds, which emit red, green and blue lights in response to electric current.
OLED differs most from LCD in that there is no backlight and no “twisting” crystals. There is no additional light source needed to energize the organic color compounds, therefore they use considerably less power and can be manufactured with an extremely thin profile.
