LCD TVs are from various quarters of an best-selling products in view 'consumer electronics and 'hi-tech industry as a whole. Those in LED technology "risk" to follow in his footsteps. LCD TV for the back-illuminated diode (LED stands for Light Emitting Diode), true leitmotif 'last edition 'IFA in Berlin, the future looks more rosy and confirmed that an explicit Bruce Berkoff, Chairman of the LCD TV Association during the recent LEDs2009 Conference held in San Diego. In countries that make up the so-called BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and ) and those that form the aggregate market view (Vietnam, Indonesia, South Africa, Turkey and Argentina) the demand for flat panel TVs continues to grow and not There was no sign of instability even in the process of economy. So that by 2013 the total sales of LCD devices could reach 300 million overall share of units, compared with about 125 million units estimated for 2009.

Berkoff, in addressing the issue of LEDs, then the first rap Samsung - "guilty" of having misused the "brand" to boost sales of its LCD models like "Edge", more subtle, but less performance compared to Led Full Backlight - and then said with conviction as all major manufacturers move heavily towards this niche market for flat TVs Tv transition to LEDs, according to Berkoff, will be generalized for various reasons, starting with the best image quality assured by panels back-lit to finish with the expected greater economies of scale achievable than using the traditional fluorescent lamps CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp). In short, no more flicker and visual quality with production costs of the panels in the long run, will be even lower than the current ones: the essence of this new "revolution" in the flat TV. Not least, and is a parameter not negligible, televisions LED technology consumes much less than traditional LCD and plasma sets. Put together the various "plus", then the LED will become a weapon key commercial for Samsung & Co. for another reason, very functional to their budgets: they can sell to retail chains at a price higher than the medium and continuously down imposed by the dynamics of a market commodity which is now one of the LCD. And if today we speak of a very marginal share of turnover of the flat TV - the percentage of full LED backlight units of LCD value is estimated at end 2009 1, 5% - over the next 12 months will see a second Berkoff boom, when an LCD TV to 10 (over 10% to be exact) sold worldwide will be back-illuminated diode.

And OLED screens? Smartphone
For a "new" technology advances (Led) there is another danger that instead of staying at the stake, in terms of market outlets for TV anyway. Panel OLED (organic light-emitting diode), and ultra low power consumption, it is spoken by at least three years but at present there is only one model TV for sale (over $ 2,000 list), one from 11 inch XEL-1 launched by in 2008. The same that had predicted the advent of spring formed by 21 e 27 "but then, mainly because of more pressing business priorities well, turnabout has been breaking developments in this direction. The risk of OLED technology in TV, then stay still for a while 'on the margins of the mass market is real and moves only according to experts in this field of Samsung and LG Electronics, the only prepared to invest significantly on these products could reverse the trend. Set up a factory to produce large size OLED panels in volume (also over 32 inches) costs, since at least a billion dollars and these days there are few consumer electronics companies who can afford such an expense. LG, however, has confirmed it will begin selling in Korea a TV lit slim OLEDs 15 inch from the end of 2009, the guaranteed maximum capacity is 200 thousand units per month finished. The volumes involved in LCD trifle. By contrast OLED screens are finding fertile ground in the field of mobile devices, smartphones in the lead, and is therefore not a coincidence that the same as Samsung has declared, in 2010, will reach their factories to churn out 10 million less than the ultra-thin display 15 inches per month.
