Samsung Display's QD-OLED Achievements and Future Plans

TapTechNews May 24th news, Samsung Display announced: After two and a half years of introducing QD-OLED technology, the cumulative shipments of its QD-OLED panels for monitors have reached 1 million units.

Currently, the company's QD-OLED product line includes 27-inch, 31.5-inch, 34-inch and 49-inch screens, and provides a variety of high-end models, including products with 4K resolution and 360Hz refresh rate. Up to now, Samsung Display has cooperated with 10 global monitor brands and launched more than 90 QD-OLED monitor products.

Samsung Display developed the world's first QD-OLED display in 2021. This is a self-emitting technology in which the light from the blue OLED passes through the QD (quantum dot) emission layer to generate colors.

This technology is optimized for large devices and has the characteristics of fast response speed, high color accuracy, near-infinite contrast and wide viewing angle.

With the continuous growth of the market (especially the gaming market) for high refresh rate and fast response time monitors, Samsung Display began mass-producing QD-OLED monitor panels in 2022, leading the self-emitting monitor market.

Samsung plans to expand the market from gaming monitors to professional monitors, multimedia and entertainment monitors. Recently, reference monitors have also adopted this technology because video editing requires the highest level of technology.

According to market research firm Omdia's forecast, the self-emitting display panel market will grow at a rate of 12.3% annually, and will reach a market size of 1.08 billion US dollars (TapTechNews note: currently about 7.83 billion yuan) by 2029, accounting for 10% of the entire monitor panel market.
