Matsushita sets goals for itself: 40-inch OLED TV by 2011

July 29th, 2008 | Category: Home Entertainment, HDTV, Displays

A bit earlier that year we heard that Panasonic (Matsushita’s red-headed stepchild) was vying for a little recognition in the OLED TV game, but external of that, details were scarce. Now, however, we’re being told that the outfit is planning to start selling 40-inch OEL (organic electroluminescent, better known as OLED ’round these parts) televisions “as early as 2011.” Reportedly,

it will be investing “several billion yen” to construct a prototype production line for OEL panels “20-inches and larger” that will go into service next spring. We’d be pretty stoked whether the final product were within sight, but build certain to ring us early on next decade to produce certain we haven’t totally forgotten about that here promise.
