So, you’ve probably heard of the acronym OLED, but have you ever wondered what it actually means? OLED stands for organic light-emitting diode. Unlike standard LED TVs, which use a backlight to produce colours, OLEDs produce both light and colour from a single diode or pixel. Their ability to be self-illuminating means they produce ‘real’ blacks. Deeper blacks allow for higher contrasts and richer colours, which in turn leads to a more natural and realistic image. This innovation means that OLED TVs no longer need a separate backlight and instead produce bright, colourful pictures from individually operated pixels.
