Challenge the panel giants of China and South Korea: OLED, MiniLED and MicroLED.
With Apple announcing that it will adopt OLED panels on MacBooks in 2025, panel manufacturers in China and South Korea have begun a new competition. This competition will be launched in the field of advanced technologies such as OLED, MiniLED and MicroLED, which indicates the future pattern of the panel industry in China and South Korea. This article will delve into the background, development and impact of this contest.
The panel industry in China and South Korea has been fiercely competitive since the LCD era. With continuous technological innovation and cost advantages, Chinese panel manufacturers have gradually surpassed their South Korean competitors in the past few years. However, with Apple's announcement that it will adopt OLED panels in its products, the market landscape has changed again. As a representative of the next generation of display technology, OLED technology has triggered a new round of competition between panel manufacturers in China and South Korea.
OLED market competition.
After losing in the LCD panel market, South Korean panel manufacturers focused on the OLED market. Samsung dominates the market for small and medium-sized OLED panels, while LG Display (LGD) dominates the market for large-size OLED panels. However, in recent years, Chinese panel manufacturers have risen rapidly, especially in the small and medium-sized OLED market, and the share of Chinese manufacturers has exceeded 40%, forming a fierce competition with Korean manufacturers. In the large-size OLED panel market, many manufacturers are hesitant due to technical difficulties and quality control issues. However, with the increase in demand for OLED panels in the PC market, manufacturers have begun to consider promoting OLED panels to the PC field, which has brought new development opportunities to manufacturers in China and South Korea.
MiniLED vs. OLED competition.
As an emerging display technology, MiniLED technology has the advantages of display quality and power consumption, which has attracted the attention of manufacturers in China and South Korea. Although OLED is superior in terms of display effect, MiniLED has advantages in cost and controllability, especially for small and medium-sized display screens, such as laptops. Therefore, major manufacturers have launched products using MiniLED technology, intensifying the competition between OLED and MiniLED in the market.
Challenges and prospects of MicroLED technology.
MicroLED technology is considered to be one of the development directions of future display technology, with the advantages of high brightness, high contrast, and low power consumption. Although there are certain technical difficulties, it still attracts wide attention from manufacturers. China's TCL Huaxing has made rapid progress in this field, although it is still in the MiniLED stage, but its enthusiasm in technology research and development has attracted much attention. As a leading panel manufacturer, Samsung also has a layout in MicroLED technology, and although it faces many challenges, it still has certain advantages in technology research and development and industrial chain integration.
The future development of the panel industry in China and South Korea.
With the continuous progress of technology and the intensification of competition in the market, the future of the panel industry in China and South Korea is full of variables and challenges. With cost advantages and technological innovation, Chinese manufacturers are expected to make greater progress in the fields of OLED, MiniLED and MicroLED.
