"No backlight also means when there's no current, there's no light. Therefore, we're able to achieve unprecedented contrast," Lapointe adds, referring to how black the blacks look on a television (measured in a ratio between black and white). Compared to a flat-panel LCD television with, say, a true contrast ratio of 1,000:1, or a plasma TV with 20,000:1, an OLED TV is said to have a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. "And this is a conservative estimate," Lapointe says

An organic light-emitting diode (OLED), also Light Emitting Polymer (LEP) and Organic Electro-Luminescence (OEL), is any light-emitting diode (LED) whose emissive electroluminescent layer is comprised of a film of organic compounds. The layer usually contains a polymer substance that allows suitable organic compounds to be deposited. They are deposited in rows and columns onto a flat carrier by a simple "printing" process. The resulting matrix of pixels can emit light of different colors.
