Sony’s XEL-1

The first OLED TV that has hit the market was the Sony XEL-1, which is the 11 inch version, boasting an incredible contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1 but just 3 millimetres thick.

An Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) flat-panel display is made of small lumps of organic material that glow when electrical current is applied, a process known as electro-phosphorescence.

This technology can produce self-luminous screens that don’t require a source of light like to work (thus requiring less power), so manufacturers can obtain screens that are even thinner than LCD displays because there is no backlight.
