According to Reuters, Toshiba has dropped plans to introduce an OLED TV by 2009/2010 citing costs of mass production. This is another blow to those who are looking for the next alternative to LCD TV or plasma TV.

However, it seems to follow Toshiba’s pattern of making announcements about a technology (ie: SED TV) and then dropping it when things don’t seem too rosy.

This leaves Sony and maybe, just maybe, Samsung as the only OLED TV contenders. Don’t forget though, Sony only has an 11″ OLED TV model right now and Samsung has nothing.

Perhaps FED TV will become more of a contender now as SED TV and OLED TV suffer various birthing problems. FED TV will not be on display at CES2008 though as it’s not designed for the consumer market yet.
