And in fact, TCL is building an OLED factory.

676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

The details of the OLEDs that they will build in that factory are as yet undetermined, but my fingers are crossed that they will not have a white subpixel and Sony can finally stop buying all their panels from Samsung.

It's like, what do you call it?

It's always five years in the future.

They show those TVs all the time.

They're amazing.

They cost 50 grand.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

They're the size of your wall because making them small is also expensive.

They've been showing those at CES for, I don't know, like a decade now.

What Marco was talking about is, hey, you want per pixel lighting control?

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

How about every pixel has a tiny red, green, and blue LED in it?

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

because isn't that like sort of what OLED is right not really because OLED is kind of like a sandwich with a light emitting layer and stuff it is per pixel but they're not like literally LEDs like think of like an LED that you could buy for a little kit and shrink it real small that's not what OLED is it's the organic part of it that makes it susceptible to burn in it's kind of a sandwich right

actual micro led where every individual pixel has a red and green and blue light up led those exist you see them in stadiums because it's really easy to make them big because if it's in a stadium the red green and blue uh blue uh um

LEDs are huge.

Accidental Tech Podcast

It's like a light bright, right?

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

From close up, it looks terrible, but like across the stadium, it looks great.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

Trying to get that down to a 4k 55 inch TV, do the math on how small those LEDs have to be.

And the problem is like the manufacturing, like, you know, do you have some way to manufacture that?
