Samsung's Plan "B" ???20 Jul 2020 02:44
Samsung is moving away from LCD technology inside its 4K and 8K TVs in favour of Quantum Dot panels, with Samsung Display (the dedicated display manufacturing arm of the South Korean giant) confirming plans to invest $11 billion in Quantum Dot technology by 2025. But while Quantum Dot is already being lined-up as the next-generation of its Smart TVs, the successor to that technology is already on the horizon.
Known as QNED, Samsung Display is already investing in the manufacture of the panels – with production kickstarting as early as the second quarter of 2021, according to a new report from ZDnet Korea and UBI research.
QNED promises to bring a number of advantages to your next gogglebox. It can deliver superior contrast ratios for deeper shades of inky black and vivid colours, higher brightness levels, and faster response times – to better keep pace with live sports, Hollywood blockbusters and next-generation gaming. Samsung believes QNED offers advantages over all existing display solutions and is pushing for the technology to become the next Gold standard.
According to UBI Research, Samsung Display will begin manufacturing some 30,000 QNED panels a month from the second quarter of 2021. The source speaking to UBI Research also claims that once Samsung’s QNED-based TVs hit the market, these will pose a major threat to LG’s WOLED option – which it believes will be the successor to current LCD and LED panels.
