OLED Technology & Power Consumption

OLED technology is on its way to becoming mainstream technology in displays. LG recently introduced #-Link-Snipped-# and I'm quite sure that other companies will follow. Referring to Wikipedia article, it looks like OLED is designed to consume lesser power than LCD.

While an OLED will consume around 40% of the power of an LCD displaying an image which is primarily black, for the majority of images it will consume 60–80% of the power of an LCD: however it can use over three times as much power to display an image with a white background such as a document or website.

What really makes OLEDs consume lesser power?

    OLEDs do not require a backlight to function. Thus they draw far less power.When powered from a battery, can operate longer on the same charge.
