The LG group is more than ever focused on the development of the Oled TV market, therefore of its subsidiary LG Display in charge of manufacturing screens for LG Electronics and many external customers (Loewe, Panasonic, Philips, Samsung, Sony, etc.). As proof, the sale of the group's LCD factory located in Guangzhou took place at the end of 2024 (see our news LG sells its last LCD factory to TCL) the proceeds of which, in addition to being used to repay an internal loan taken out by LG Display with LG Electronics, are intended to be invested in the development of the Oled production tool on the brand's historic sites in South Korea.
LG Display, objective of a less expensive Oled Primary RGB Tandem panel££££
The objective for LG Display is to develop its new Oled Primary RGB Tandem panel technology, the 4th generation, capable of supporting comparison with Mini LED diffusers in terms of performance and, above all, of reducing production costs. There are two main reasons for this: on the one hand, to really compete with the prices of [abc]LCD[/abc] Mini [abc]LED[/abc] screens on the 42" to 83" diagonals offered, at best, half the price compared to their [abc]Oled[/abc] counterparts (but the gap between the two display technologies is most often much greater), on the other hand, to offer larger diagonals at prices that remain affordable (unlike the current situation where Oled TVs with very large diagonals cannot compete on this ground against LCD TVs). And it would seem that LG Display has found solutions.
Existence of a cheaper Oled Primary RGB Tandem panel revealed by a supplier?££££
The information comes from the Korean daily The Elec, which reports in detail the details provided in the first quarter financial report published in May by the new supplier Solus Advanced Materials. The latter plans to deliver phosphorescent green organic emitting materials to LG Display and according to it, these deliveries of phosphorescent green materials are intended for the low-cost 3-layer and 4-layer Oled panels (in English "Low-Cost model of 4-stack Oled or 3-stack Oled). However, it is easy to agree that this type of Oled Primary RGB Tandem panels does not exist on the market this year: LG G5/M5, Panasonic Z95B, Philips OLED910 or Philips OLED950, all these references are premium televisions. The use of this mention therefore refers to other models, undoubtedly to come.
Less expensive Oled Primary RGB Tandem panel, a necessity for the Oled TV market££££
Conclusion, who says Oled Primary RGB Tandem panels at the lowest price most certainly says its integration into a less upscale TV range within the ranges of the various brands that are clients of LG Display. For LG Electronics, it will probably be the LG C6 concerned. So, of course, we can be wrong, but the financial communications of the brands and their suppliers are very often sources of preview discoveries. If we add to this an Oled TV market logic that requires a wider diffusion of Oled Primary RGB Tandem technology to continue to fight against the Mini LED wave, the hypothesis becomes plausible.
