Future Advanced IT and TV Display Costs

This presentation will examine the costs and key considerations for various Advanced IT and TV displays in the future including:

Notebook PC, Tablet and Monitor RGB OLED panels produced by G8.5 to G8.7 fabs;
Tandem for IT panels
Hybrid OLED: Rigid OLED with TFE encapsulation
Inkjet RGB
QD-OLED
MiniLED Backlight LCD
LTPS vs. Oxide vs. a-Si LCD for Notebook PCs
WOLED vs. Inkjet RGB vs. FMM VTE RGB vs. QD-OLED in TVs
According to the aggressive investment plans by OLED panel suppliers, IT related FMM VTE RGB OLED displays will be a major focus.

SDC is now aggressively promoting rigid OLEDs for notebook PCs. In addition, Apple is said to launch an OLED tablet in 2024 by using a hybrid RGB OLED display next to its current MiniLED product. Apple is striving for thinner, brighter and longer lifetime OLED display with new advanced technologies such as tandem, rigid TFE and better mobility.

Rigid and Hybrid OLED displays will have to compete with thinner/lighter LCDs, LTPS LCDs and QHD/UHD LCDs especially in the high end of the Notebook PC market to fill in their new G8.5 to 8.7G fabs from 2024.

In the TV market, WOLED TV has been considered an advanced display. In 2021, Samsung VD began to line up many MiniLED TV models for its high-end line and introduced QD-OLED TV as its flagship models.

This presentation will also explain key points regarding display costs including display materials, components and capex cost differences by comparing various advanced displays.
