Samsung First OLED TV Launched at US 13000$
Samsung, the world’s biggest TV manufacturer, has placed a $13,000 price tag on its first curved super-thin OLED television to go on sale in South Korea. It is more than five times the cost of LCD televisions of the same size, but similarly priced as rival LG Electronics Inc.
Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology has long been touted
as the future of consumer electronics displays, offering crisper picture
resolution, a faster response time and high contrast images. It also allows for
curved televisions, which manufacturers say offer a more immersive TV
experience.
By 2004 Samsung was the
world’s largest manufacturer of OLEDs, with a 40 percent market share worldwide and as of 2010 had a 98% share of the
global AMOLED market. The company generated $100.2 million out of the total
$475 million revenues in the global OLED market in 2006. In 2009, Samsung sold
around 31 million flat-panel televisions, enabling to it to maintain the
world’s largest market share for a fourth consecutive year.
