Reports suggest Japanese TV makers may enter the OLED TV market using LGD panels

Korean news site ETNews reports that Japanese makers (Sony and Panasonic, specifically) are negotiating OLED TV panel supply deals with LG Display. Both companies aim to develop picture quality improvement algorithms in house and aim to release the TVs by the end of 2014.

Maybe the OLED TV market is not dead yet.

Gonna be like LCD. A few companies will lock down the panel production (Sharp, Samsung, Au Optronics), other companies will buy all the parts, user their software, and put out a display (Sony).

I completely agree. Not sure Sony will stay in the game, though, and also wondering if Panasonic will be in the TV business 5 years from now.

I think Sony and Panny wont be around in a lot of this stuff 5 years from now. Panasonic's 2014 blu-ray players are already way late to market compared to last years due to unsold inventory, and they are out of plasma (LCD's arent that good). Shame because Panny makes nice and reliable stuff.

Sony may hang in, their LCD's sell on name, their blu-ray players seem to sell well too.

I still expect very few OLED TV shipments in 2014. I'd be happy to see them ramp up in 2015. If OLED TV shipments aren't significant, and aren't priced at a level people could at least consider (say, $5,000) , by the end of 2015, then I think OLED just might not be the next major display technology.
