Toshiba’s plan to market ultra-thin TVs with organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays in 2009 or 2010 will be delayed indefinitely because it is very expensive to mass produce them.
Although its competitor Sony has already started selling 11-inch OLED TVs last November, the development costs remain very high thereby limiting its shipment to only 2,000 units each month.
Toshiba did not specify any timetable for the availability of OLED TVs. Instead, their spokesperson said they will monitor the market trends and will wait until there is a way to mass produce these TVs at a very reasonable cost.
Still, the company remains committed to market small screen OLEDs for mobile phones starting next year.
