OLED is said to be the next big thing in the television industry. Currently, LED technology is the front runner for all sorts of TVs these days. The only thing that is keeping OLED displays away from consumers approach is the cost of production which is still significantly higher than producing LED displays. The reason behind high cost of OLED displays is the low yield value which increases the price of display as its size increase.
