Already in 2016 OLED TV will be only 20% more expensive LCD TV of the same size – iXBT.com
It is expected that the company Samsung Electronics will begin production of OLED TVs in 2017, because by that time the cost of materials used in the screens OLED, will drop to an acceptable level.
This is the source said, quoting one of the leaders of Merck, said in an interview with The Korea Times. His opinion was worth considering, as the company Merck – the main global supplier of materials for OLED panels are large. Materials manufactured by Merck advantage of OLED panels company LG Display – the world’s largest manufacturer of displays.
A breakthrough in the cost of the panels will be associated with the transition from the mask deposition technology to inkjet technology. The first technology is used now resembles paint through a stencil in a grid, in which the high wastage of paint as much of it remains on the stencil paint. When inkjet all ink is consumed efficiently.
Another disadvantage is the risk mask technology panel particle contamination when changing masks, thereby reducing the yield rate of products. In the case of inkjet printing, this problem is also absent.
As long as the market leader in OLED TV is the company LG, which expects that in the current quarter, this activity will be profitable.
To rapid advance of new technology, the LG bet on aggressive price reduction. The company hopes that in the current half of OLED TVs will cost only 40% more than the LCD of the same size, in 2016 the gap will be reduced to 20%.
