LG kept its promise to release the 15-inch OLED TV in 2009 by launching it these days in Korea. The largest OLED TV commercially available, the 15-inch of LG will cost about the equivalent of $2,500. LG will invest in the fabrication line of the organic LED display panel. LG, like Samsung mobile, will make investments on a 5.5 production facility, due to come online in the first months of 2011. This line will have a capacity of 40,000 sheets per month, every sheet being cut in many panels.

Another OLED TV, the 11-inch XEL-1 offered by Sony, is available in the United States at a similar price of $2,500. A 21-inch OLED prototype was recently showed in Japan by Sony but no release date has been announced and the fabrication could be postponed due to the economic crisis. LG is planning to unveil a 40-inch OLED TV in a near future. The market for OLED TV is expected to reach 2.33 million units in 2013 compared to only 320,000 units in 2011, according to a market research of DisplaySearch.
