Samsung Reportedly Shifting Focus to QD-OLED Displays

A few weeks dorsum, Reuters had reported that Samsung will cease the production of LCD panels in S Korea and China by the stop of this yr due to diminishing demands. A new study from MyDrivers claims that might non exactly exist the reason for the visitor'southward alter in strategies.

According to the report, Samsung is shutting downward LCD production lines to shift its focus from LCDs to Quantum Dot OLED (QD-OLED) displays. The written report also cites rising competition from Chinese brands in LCD to exist one of the reasons for the Due south Korean tech giant to alter its plans.

This essentially reiterates the 13.1 trillion won ($10.72 billion) five-yr investment plan made final year to upgrade its LCD production lines in South korea for the product of QD-OLED panels.

Samsung's QD-OLED displays are said to take a better 1 million hours lifespan. The panel volition exist fabricated of vanadium phosphate instead of toxic cadmium. Using Quantum Dot OLED results in a wider color gamut and better screen brightness.

Thanks to quantum dots, QD-OLED display emits just i colour thereby reducing production costs. The chances for a QD-OLED panel to get affected by burn down-in issues are as well expected to be less when compared to traditional OLEDs.

Although QD-OLED displays are cheaper than the current OLED panels to manufacture, the report suggests the cost might match OLED in the initial mass-industry stages due to technical reasons. Nevertheless, in the long-run, the industry is expected to catch up to produce QD-OLED displays relatively cheaper than OLED panels.
