Samsung to decide, OLED or LCD?

At the keynote presentation given at the IMID 2014 held in EXCO, Daegu on the 27^th, Park Dong-geun, the president of Samsung Display announced that the price of display decreases gradually and the color sense, curved design, and flexible display become more important as the technology develops. AMOLED has an excellent color expression for its adobe of 97% compared to 74% of LCD and its outdoor visibility is 1.7 times higher than LCD. Samsung Display highlighted the superiority of AMOLED over LCD with the application of the diamond pixel structure considering the retinal system of human eye, super dimming technology allowing users to use the cellphone in the dark environment without getting any light pollutions, and ultra power saving mode.

Though Samsung Display produced the OLED TV in RGB + FMM method previously, the mass production is currently ceased for the large area yielding issues. The alternative way would be using WOLED + CF method of LG but it takes a long time to mass produce and there is even a patent issue.

Due to the high price of OLED TV, Samsung Display will concentrate its business on the LCD TV for a while. Samsung’s concern for the TV business is expected to grow as the price of LCD will increase as well if applying a new technology like QD.
