Editor's Note: To see the associated video showing the Sony OLED TV, a breakdown of its component parts and insights into its construction, go to TeardownTV.
The first commercial organic light-emitting diode (OLED) TV was released by Sony in December of 2007 with the code name XEL-1. Using this technology, Sony is able to produce a TV that has some amazing technical specifications in an extremely small form factor. This is a great piece of technology, and really shows what the world can expect in the coming years. At this time, the screen size is only 11 inches diagonal, which is a bit tiny for most people's needs, but Sony also announced and demonstrated a 27-inch version at CES in January. It has a 16 by 9 aspect ratio and a 960- by 540-pixel resolution.
