Organic TV - Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED)

An organic light emitting diode is any light emitting diode (LED) whose emmisive ellectrolumenescent layer is composed of organic compounds. The layer typically. 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.

A major advantage of OLEDs vs. typical LED screens is they do not require backlighting.
