Samsung Electronics was showing three prototype TVs based on 14-inch OLED panels. That’s larger than the 11in screens that are in the new Sony TVs but a close look at the Samsung panels revealed some imperfections. In each of the three prototypes on display were pixels locked to a single color.
The problems stem from difficulties that remain in the manufacturing stage, said a Samsung representative on the company’s stand at the FPD Expo in Yokohama. Samsung is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of LCD panels and the OLED screens on display were designed to be manufactured using an existing TFT LCD production process. That presents some hurdles now but could mean big cost savings in the future because Samsung won’t have to invest in a new factory to make the screens.
