Sony revives its reputation as one of the leaders in technology by unveiling their new extremely thin TV that features an organic light-emitting diode display. Sony calls this new creation of theirs the XEL-1. You can have a satisfying view with the 11-inch display that has that organic light emitting diode. It is as thin as you can imagine, measuring just 3 millimeters thick! What is really unique about this is that Sony made use of OLED that has its foundation on electroluminescent organic materials. This technology is quite ingenious because the materials used can produce light on their own; therefore backlight is no longer needed in order deliver those crystal clear images at a rate 1,000 time s faster than the LCD.

At the present time Sony’s super-thin TV will only be sold in Japan by December. Price will be $1,700 or 200, 000 yen. This is still quite pricey compared to the dropping prices of LCD TVs. And if you ask about the downside of the OLED TV, well it has an estimated life span of 30, 000 hours or 10 years if you use it 8 hours a day.
