When choosing a television or monitor, the two are the big ones. panel technologies products currently dominating the market: OLED and LCD, each with their own advantages and disadvantages when it comes to imaging brightness, contrast and even in terms of durability.
But, There is another difference between both systems This can go unnoticed and is even difficult to see clearly commented on in the manufacturer’s specifications because resolution, nits, sound power of the TV etc. Not as striking.
OLED panels: much less plastic and weight than LCD

About this subject manufacturing materials The panels themselves (not the entire TV, including its housing), point to differences with respect to LCD technology, a parameter that LG has recently wanted to emphasize as the main manufacturer of WOLED panels.
According to the information published by the company, OLED panels (We assume Samsung’s QD-LEDs will be equivalent using a similar process) self-emitting light technology The panel can also be done without several additional layers found in LCD displays, e.g. light diffusers it needs to be distributed over the entire surface of the display and backlight control systems (for example, in miniLED models).
This makes OLED models have much lower plastic content that of their LCD equivalents. How much? For example, as they say, the plastic content of the panel in a typical 65-inch model means: 4% of total weight What’s on TV? Up to 90% less than LCD.
The company provides additional examples of existing control panels. 77 inches OLED has some 0.6 kilos of plastic Equivalent LCD models with a total weight of 18 kilos 75 inch they contain 6 kilos of plastic Total weight is approximately 25 kilos.
This also reduces the final weight of the TV, reducing costs and making it easier to recycle screens later when their lifespan comes to an end. Moreover, as we see in this article, OLED technology has an additional advantage: electricity consumption is noticeably lowerBecause they can control light emission at the pixel level.
