Over the last couple of months, Samsung had been rumored to be planning on ordering OLED panels from LG Display for its TVs. But now, the company has officially denied these rumors.
According to a SamMobile report, the South Korean tech giant that it is not buying OLED panels from LG. Furthermore, the company also claimed that its QLED display technology is better than OLED technology for TVs. Previously, Jong-hee Han, President of Visual Display business, had denied the rumors on multiple occassions. Now, a South Korean tech publication IT Chosun has reported on a statement from another company official.
As per this executive, “There is no change in the idea that our QLED TVs have better picture quality than OLED TVs. I’m trying to make it clear that the rumors are groundless. It is true that LCD prices are rising, and we are facing a difficult situation, but we have enough capacity to overcome as a No. 1 company.” For those unaware, the brand was reportedly planning on placing orders for 2 to 3 million OLED panel units from LG Display for its first OLED TVs that would launch sometime in H2 2021 or H1 2022.
The company switching to OLED panels from its QLED displays is highly unlikely, considering it has spent years marketing against OLED TVs. Samsung Display is currently switching from LCD to QD OLED panels, which is its own version of OLEDs and has also heavily invested in this display technology.
