Why OLED screen?

OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) is a new TV display technology that’s capable of amazingly realistic picture quality with very little compromise.
So how does it operate, and why is it so great? In contrast to the conventional LED panels, OLED screens use a thin film of an organic compound that lights up when electricity passes through it. This means the brightness of every single dot on the screen is controlled independently, so a completely black pixel can be right beside a fully white one, giving punchy dramatic colours with far higher contrast than the always-on backlights found in LED models.
It also provides far wider viewing angles and a lot quicker response times than LED, so everyone can take pleasure in blur free images. In this respect, OLEDs are more such as older plasma screens, only very much slimmer and significantly more power efficient.
