The first Sony OLED-TV has discovered signs of “ageing”

Release of TV Sony XEL-1 marked a significant milestone in the development of display industry - because the product was the first with such diagonal, in which used an active matrix organic light-emitting diodes (AMOLED).

With a price of $1740 for 11 inch the novelty quickly found their buyers, who hunting for exclusive, for today, contrast characteristics (1000000:1) and the level of brightness of black background (0.01 nits). Recall that plasma or liquid crystal displays today can not offer anything like this.

At the same time, fears about the durability of the decisions expressed by specialists even at the time of its launch, more than confirmed. The company DisplaySearch released few details about “aging” of XEL-1 matrix. According to it measurements, real time of it life when displaying only white is only 5000 hours and conditions of a real demonstration of television images, it is 17 thousand hours, that is about 2 years of continuous viewing.

The degradation of the image quality will begin earlier. According to the researchers, the brightness of a blue image per thousand hours decreased by 12%, red - by 7%, green - by 8%. In sum it could lead to a noticeable
distortions in color after six months of use the product.

I wonder does such a study will result in the queue willing to return XEL-1 in the shops? If so, Sony could stand in the face of the second major scandal for a couple of years. In memory still fresh history with burning batteries for laptops.
