They aren't stopping production of either LED or plasma panels. They are cutting production. The article uses the words "cut" and "reduce", not "stop." Pioneer stopped making plasma panels.
Panasonic exiting LCD and Plasma TV Production
First Pioneer and now Panasonic. Not good, although I did read an article that Panny and Sony are working together to develop OLED TVs.

As Mr. Spock pointed out, they are cutting production...not "exiting."
It's pretty clear to me, though that OLED will be getting the massive portion of R&D dollars.

Samsung and LG have been having problems with OLED sets and have pushed back their introduction a year. Only $10,000 for one. Projected cost.Shades228 said:Not for TV's but to get into the money market of smart phones and tablets where the market allows higher profit margins.

must be a 25":lol:
I suspect you're right...although several reports indicate that the OLED hardware "to market" speed is advancing slower than originally forecast.FHSPSU67 said:It's pretty clear to me, though that OLED will be getting the massive portion of R&D dollars.
I can only quote what I read. No sizes mentioned. Big drop from the $25,000 price I've also been reading about. All this depends on the TV makers solving the problems with OLED screens. Sony appears to have given up on them.satcrazy said:only 10K ?

Well, it appears after a brief search, we are talking 55" but the articles I found are dated last May. I don't see Pannys name mentioned, just LG and Samsung.Rich said:I can only quote what I read.

Canon and Toshiba gave up on OLED some time ago.
Seems as if it's just too difficult to make big screens with.WERA689 said:Canon and Toshiba gave up on OLED some time ago.

A few years ago Sammy said they would not do OLED TVs until the screens would last 10 years. And that was not a trivial issue to solve.
