OLED screens have been heralded as the future of television and mobile devices, but there is one major downside to this new technology: OLED screens are much more fragile than traditional LED screens. OLED screens are made from a thin layer of organic material sandwiched between two layers of glass. This makes them much thinner, lighter than LED screens, and more susceptible to damage. If the glass on an OLED screen is cracked or broken, the entire screen will go blank. In contrast, an LED screen will continue functioning even if the glass is damaged. As a result, OLED screens are much more likely to break or get damaged when dropped or hit. While this may seem like a minor flaw, it could be enough to make some consumers think twice before buying an OLED television or mobile device.
