Samsung intends to apply QLED technology estimates three, five years into the market

With Hon Hai entered the SHARP, hoping to get LCD TV IGZO technology, in one fell swoop in the Korean TV market in the oligopoly, we can learn that the current LCD TV industry competition is far more intense than imagined. Not only from the function of 4K, HDR and other advanced features, has been in the end layer panel technology, all the key to determine the success or failure of LCD tv.

Among them, in the display technology, in recent years, SONY, Samsung are concerned about the improvement of traditional LCD, and LG will be regarded as a revolution in the field of television technology OLED. Although, OLED superior contrast, black level is unmatched by traditional LCD. However, users need to bear the high price, which is why Samsung, SONY and other manufacturers have launched OLED TV, but the reason to give up.

In this case, the new quantum dot technology has become a new blue ocean LCD/LED vendors. Including Samsung's SUHD, SONY new TRILUMINOS, are outstanding performance in the market quantum dot technology. But what is "quantum dots" technology, simple, quantum dots is a new type of LCD backlight technology, through the integration of quantum dot material in LED light source, and unique LCD screen blue light, achieve better contrast and black level.

However, the quantum dot technology is better than the traditional LED backlight technology, but still can not reach the level of OLED. Therefore, according to foreign media reports, Samsung is trying to develop a new type of panel, which is "QLED" to catch up with the level of OLED.

The report states that "QLED" is the abbreviation of "Quantum Dots Light Diode Display", that is, quantum dot light-emitting diodes (Emitting). Different from the quantum dot backlight technology, it is more like OLED, has the characteristics of self luminescence, but the self luminous object is not a light emitting diode, but quantum dots. The technology can be driven by the quantum dot itself to produce an image, no longer need LCD, backlight, in fact, is a new type of screen. This allows the QLED to have a number of competitive advantages, including a better contrast, a wider color gamut, and other manufacturers can freely control each pixel through the software, more flexible control display.

Currently, the two companies to master the technology of quantum dot Nanosys (Samsung TV use) and QDVision (TCL and other brands use), both are committed to the development of QLED technology. Samsung had previously demonstrated the QLED TV, but did not specify its specific plans and time to enter the consumer market.

With the development of "QLED" technology, whether the market will be able to replace the "OLED" technology. In fact, it seems too early to discuss the issue. On the one hand, OLED technology has been gradually mature in the promotion of LG, and LG OLED TV, in terms of size, price, screen image residue problems have also been improved and improved. Therefore, the "OLED" technology has a certain advantage in the short term.

On the other hand, QLED is still in the conceptual stage, Samsung did not disclose specific business plan. Of course, "QLED" and "OLED" are similar in technology, and the use of quantum dots to replace the light-emitting diode seems to be a better idea, the future prospects are still worth looking forward to. However, this development needs to wait at least three to five years, only to have the opportunity to see the gradual popularization of QLED in the market.
