- The inkjet printed OLEDs are very close to mass production
- The Samsung display seems to have solved El-Qd’s longevity problem
- Do not arouse your new television plans if you are currently shopping
The race to find the next great thing in television technology has just crossed two major milestones: TCL CSOT – The TCL manufacturing subsidiary – has demonstrated its OLED technology printed throwing with a television size with panels up to 65 inches, and Samsung has demonstrated the potentially beating version EL -QD in a new more bright version.
IJP OLED and EL-QD are competing for the next technology that replaces current OLED production, and both are technologies issued like the current OLED.
The two are very exciting, but neither came to your front hall so early – and both, the printed oled are likely to arrive long before EL -QD. But they could both prove to be revolutionary.
Why are we a little enthusiastic about the OLED and EL-QD print
The OLED panels printed ink jet are the most immediately exciting, as they can be used in a wide range of applications: phones, tablets, laptops, pc monitors, televisions, car dashboards … almost everywhere you may want to make a screen.
TCL has shown 65 inch panels printed in Kidk before: an early prototype in 2021, and a curved prototype in 2023. But it is much closer to production than before, and some of the smallest panels that TCL has shown included a new oxide rear plan which apparently offers faster response times and lower energy consumption.
Although TCL CSOT says it has become “the first manufacturer to market a full family bucket of IJP [inkjet printed] OLED products “, we have not yet paused our plans for the new television: all new panel technology is starting to cost your eyes until the yields improve and the costs fall.
IJP OLED is always very OLED technology in that it uses organic equipment to create self-written pixels, but the panel structure is completely different due to the manufacturing process, it is therefore a new generation OLED rather than simply refining current technology.
It has the potential to be more economical in power and long term cheaper – but it is not quite ready to leave.
TCL directly told Techradar that it will probably be several years before the IJP OLED is affordable in televisions – but it already landed in smaller screens.
Is the future brilliant for El-QD?
EL-QD rings as if it should be the name of a bull, and the display of Samsung is optimistic about its prospects: it uses quantum points like an enhancement diodes and could offer wider color ranges, faster response times and lower energy consumption than other display technologies.
Like TCL CSOT, Samsung Display showed its technology at Sid Show in the United States. He brought printed OLEDs and folding, but the most technically interesting was EL-QD because Samsung seems to have solved the biggest problem of this technology.
Until now, EL-QD displays have suffered from a lack of longevity: the first versions have used cadmium, and this is prohibited in many countries; Without that, the longevity of essential blue materials in EL-QD was not great. But Samsung Display says that he “considerably increased” the lifespan with his latest cadmium -free prototypes.
This allowed Samsung to make the most brilliant EL-QD prototype to date, but it is still far from the brightness you would like in your front room: the last EL-QD panel at 400 Nits; Many of the best OLEDs deliver more than 1,000 nits while my mini-LED television seems to write ninety billion billions of nits.
It is also a little smaller than your TV: 18.2 inch with 3,200 x 1,800 pixels.
El -QD is far from production, then – assuming it never does mass production at all. The future is brilliant, but it must become much brighter before it can be an HDR TV.
