If you buy a new OLED TV, chances are it will use an OLED EX screen rather than a standard OLED panel. That's because LG Display – manufacturer and supplier of OLED panels to all sorts of TV makers, including LG, Hisense, Panasonic and Sony – now exclusively produces OLED EX displays, reports FlatpanelsHD.
OLED EX screens have higher brightness levels than standard OLED screens – up to 30 per cent brighter, according to LG Display. Brightness has long been one of the chinks in OLED's armour, as TVs using the technology have struggled to match the older LCD tech in this area.
But just because LG Display has completed the transition to OLED EX, that doesn't guarantee your next OLED TV will feature the technology. Your shiny new TV might have been produced before LG Display had completed the switch in the second quarter of this year, or it might have been made more recently but use an older screen (this is more likely with cheaper OLED TVs).
