The main story these past few weeks have been LG's 15" OLED TV. We knew it was coming for a long time, but now LG have finally given us an official announcement.

The OLED TV will have a 1366x768 resolution, 100,000:1 contrast ratio, and it's only 1.7mm thick. Here are the full technical details. LG say they will start to sell these in Korea in November, and will offer a 40" model soon.

LG have begun to work on their new AMOLED fab. It will begin mass production in 1H 2010.

Sony's original plan was to release their next-gen OLED TV in May 2009. It was later delayed to September, and now we hear that it won't be available till 2010.

Apparently Sony's TV business is showing losses, and they do not want to make them even worse with another loss-making OLED TV.

DisplaySearch has released a new report, with a lot of interesting information about the AMOLED roadmap of all manufacturers.

• It seems that LG are working on 13.3" wide panels for laptops, to be released at the end of 2009. LG Display themselves say they are working on 15" panels.
• The next Sony OLED TV (XEL-2?) will have a 30" panel, and not 27" or 21" as previously assumed. We already know that Sony are delaying their new TV, and DisplaySearch think they will launch it at the second half of 2010.
• In the second half of 2010, DisplaySearch sees LG Display shipping a 17" wide panel for laptops, Sony with a 30" LTPS OLED TV, and CMEL with a 11" notebook panel and 20"-30" OLED TVs
• In 2010 we'll see several new companies working on OLED for mobile devices - TPO, TM Display, AUO. This is great news and will probably lower prices and create a bigger demand for OLEDs.

There are two upcoming OLED-focused events. The first is the OLED world summit which will take place in just 3 weeks in California. OLED-Info readers can get a 40% discount for this event.
