OLEDs vs LCDs


 
OLEDs have the following advantages over today's flat-panel tech (LCD or plasma):
 
  • Low power consumption - OLEDs are a far better choice for portable devices. It also makes OLEDs much more environmental friendly, and a candidate to be the white-light "bulb" of the future
  • Faster refresh rate and better contrast.
  • Greater brightness - The screens are brighter, and have a fuller viewing angle.
  • Exciting displays - new types of displays, that we do not have today, like ultra-thin, flexible or transparent displays.
  • Better durability - OLEDs are very durable and can operate in a broader temperature range
  • Lighter weight - the screen can be made very thin, and can even be 'printed' on flexible surfaces
