Toshiba and Panasonic double OLED TV life: Much better than LCD

Everyone knows that the lower the power consumption the better we feel, and even the ultra high contrast achieved by OLEDs, but what we do hate is the OLEDs short lifespan.

Well it seems Panasonic and Toshiba have cracked it; the two companies are looking into changing all things around by announcing a brand new technology that will in fact double the lifespan of OLED displays.

So for example you will get from the stated 30,000-hour lifespan of Sony’s XEL-1 TV to somewhere that exceeds that of your typical 50,000-hour LCD panel.

The way this works is that Toshiba and Panasonic will use a new metal membrane inside a prototype 20.8-inch panel to move light more efficiently, the proof is in the pudding so we will have to wait and see.
