OLED TVs are the high-end TV technology of the moment, but that hasn't stopped the advent of mini LED screens from taking some of the wind from OLED candlelight. DSCC (Display Supply Chain Consultants) analysts report that increased interest in Mini LED TV screens is prompting manufacturers to shift their investments towards new technologies. He states that "OLED TV spending in China has also lagged as manufacturers place more emphasis on miniLEDs, which can dramatically improve performance and increase price/revenue/profitability of LCD displays." This prompted DSCC to lower its spending forecast for OLED displays worldwide, with planned spending for 2020-2025 falling by 2% (the equivalent of US$1.2 billion). It's not a seismic drop, of course, but it does show that the spotlight isn't quite as firmly on OLED TV panels as it was a year ago. It's not surprising to see vendors try to break into a new market, especially if LCD fortunes can rise (mini LED is still a type of LCD-based technology), though it's coming for a while. Period of increasing demand for LCD screens. . “As panel vendors prioritize LCD displays,” says DSCC, “spending on OLED equipment has dropped from our previous forecast.” Of course, this is the business of television, and the fortunes of any technology can rise or fall at the whims of its consumers. Remember when the coolest thing was 3D TVs?
The long-term
It's also worth noting that the big investments in OLED TV technology have yet to hit the market. TCL Electronics is expected to start manufacturing OLED panels by 2023, using an inkjet printing process that is expected to reduce production costs by 15-25%, which could mean a sharp drop in RRPs for consumers. entry-level OLED packages. This alternate production method uses inkjet printed (IJP) panels, which effectivelyimprimen '' paneles OLED entre paneles de vidrio, en lugar de los tradicionales paneles 'White OLEDs' (WOLEDs) found in TVs. Current OLEDs, such as the LG CX, Sony A8H or Panasonic JZ2000, which require a more material-intensive production process. TCL has also been a big cheerleader for Mini LED TVs, and the real winners may be the TV brands that decide to back both horses. LG Electronics launched, from 2021, a new series of Mini LED displays under the ``QNED'' brand, along with its famous line of OLED TVs. Samsung is also offering Mini LED on its flagship Neo QLED displays, such as the QN95A or QN900A, while working on its own OLED TV models that incorporate quantum dot, or QLED, technology.
