Television has become a way of life. It is no longer a luxury like it was in your childhood but more of a necessity now. Even the television sets have evolved to accommodate that perception. Given the rise in screen time, you need a technology that will enable that screen time without harming your eyesight. This is where OLED comes into play.
OLED is short for organic LED with LED standing for Light Emitting Diode. OLED is also known as Organic ELD, which stands for Electro Luminescent Diode. It is a film of organic compound which gives light when hit with an electric current. Typically this organic compound is positioned between two electrodes with at least one transparent electrode. This OLED is then used to create different types of digital displays like:
Eye strain and damage are caused primarily because of:
Apart from eye damage, blue light is also linked with health conditions like cancer, heart diseases, obesity, and diabetes. OLED emits much reduced blue light, unlike LCD making it by far the better option.
The main question that now arises is whether this OLED is safe for your eyes. To keep it simple, no display is 100% safe for your eyes. However, an OLED display does not emit any backlight, and its blue light emission is also very minimal. In fact, OLED is said to emit 3.1 times less blue light than your average LCD screens. Further, the flickering factor of the OLED screen is substantially reduced with the display effortless going from one frame to another without much change in the aspect ratio and is a completely green technology. The O in OLED refers to organic, which does not imply organic farming or anything but refers to the use of carbon and hydrogen in its process. Both these metals are completely safe for your health, with no toxicity. You should bear in mind though that any type of light emission will cause eye strain and damage over some time. However, when it comes to displays, OLED is your best and safest bet. They do not cause unnecessary eye damage.
A lot of research has gone into blue light emission and muscular eye damage. OLED technology has significantly reduced blue light emission. Hence a TV with an OLED display will emit significantly reduced blue light promoting your eye health.
You must be wondering how the OLED screen is different from the traditional LCD screens. Also, if there is a difference worth the extra strain on your wallet? To keep it simple, yes, there are some marked differences that do warrant the price of an OLED TV. The factors that differentiate OLED from LCD are:
Also, the “organic” component of OLED makes it super flexible and can be folded, rolled, and stretched to make for a better viewing experience.
OLED also has a lower flickering rate, or it moves efficiently from one frame to another for an effortless watch making it less straining and fatiguing for your eyes.
You would have at one point, or another felt some of the following concerns:
These are some common issues that are raised when there is eye strain due to excessive screen time. These symptoms are even termed as the “LED” symptoms. OLED is a miracle product that will take care of these issues arising from technology. Watching TV constantly or for prolonged periods along with other screen time like mobile and tablet can all lead to eye problems. OLED TVs cannot be held solely responsible for these though they can be a contributing factor. Today the perception has shifted to health consciousness. More and more people are opting for health pro options in the consumer market. For this reason, OLED has become the next big thing. It is being hailed as the eye saver in this age and era of screen time.
