Panasonic closing LCD plant to start production on OLED and 4K tabletCES 2013: LCD panels now supplied by LG 10 January 2013 3:24 GMT / By Ian Morris
Eagle-eyed television lovers will have spotted that Panasonic has changed its LCD range to use passive 3D technology. Not because it particularly believes passive 3D is the best 3D display tech, but as a result of shutting down its own LCD panel manufacturing facility instead buying-in LCDs from LG.
Now we’ve also learnt that Panasonic is going to be using the former LCD factory to produce both the new 56-inch OLED TV it announced this week, and the 4k, 20-inch tablet. Plasma TV production is done elsewhere, and that plant won’t be closing any time soon, although the company did tell us that eventually it thinks OLED will replace both the existing display technologies.
READ: Panasonic 56-inch OLED pictures and hands-on That the firm has shut the factory already really does point to its getting started on mass-producing OLEDs. A spokesman told us that although there are no dates, Panasonic is confident it can produce TVs that use the technology and are significantly cheaper than the rivals.
Panasonic also says that OLED needs to be 4K because there’s really no point in selling this new tech with the resolutions of today. There's a general feeling that we’ll begin to see a lot more 4K footage soon. Panasonic seems confident that Blu-ray will get its standards tweaked to allow for the Ultra igh Definition content in due course, but the firm also seems to think that 4K video will be distributed online.
Also interesting was the information that it’s pretty much impossible to convert a plasma TV facility into one that produces OLEDs. Instead, when plasma TVs finally make their exit, it will apparently be easier for Panasonic to turn the plant into a solar panel factory. Fascinating stuff, and a little mind-boggling.

Panasonic 56-inch 4K OLED TV pictures and eyes-onCES 2013: What you need to know
9 January 2013 1:47 GMT / By Ian Morris Not one day ago we were bemoaning, via Twitter, the fact that OLED TVs were never going to happen. And then, literally hours later, Panasonic is telling us it has a new OLED TV which it hopes will be available “soon”. Of course, that’s not the same as it coming out this week, but there are some things about the Panasonic that give us a little more hope.
First, this is an R&D project with Sony. The two firms are working together to improve OLED and make the technology better and more affordable. But our understanding of the agreement is that it’s not going to cover manufacture. So that both Sony and Panasonic have 56-inch 4K OLED TVs is really only a coincidence. Which means there’s not going to be a Sony/Panasonic display company any time soon.
Panasonic says that what makes its OLED panel better than any others is the printing technology used to make the display. This method is said to dramatically reduce costs of production, increase yield rates and make the displays more reliable. It works by printing a layer, which is then sandwiched between a backing layer and a transparent cathode placed on the top. This apparently improves the light output, and ensures there are no reflections.
Panasonic claims that its printing process scales very well. So there’s no reason you can’t print both 24 and 56-inch screens using the same technology. It also says there is very little wastage of the organic material, which is another way to reduce costs.
OLED remains the goal of the whole display industry, it seems. We can sort of understand that, because OLED is basically all the good bits of LCD and plasma fused into one product. There’s the brightness and colour of an LCD panel, with the black levels and contrast of a plasma. Samsung and LG have both promised OLED TVs for some time now, but a realistically priced screen has never emerged. As yet, even an unrealistically priced one is something of a pipe dream.
While we’re hopeful that Panasonic has cracked the technology, we’re still expecting that there won’t be a working production model for a couple of years. Certainly, the demo running on the Panasonic CES stand is the usual unchallenging fare - largely static images that have little motion, and look impressive because of the contrast displayed.
Only time will tell how quickly Panasonic can get this TV on sale, but it’s fair to say we’re more excited by this than by any other OLED announcement of the past few years.
