Market research agency Omdia says that Samsung Electronics is going to ramp up its use of LG WOLED panels in its products this year. Samsung will reportedly use 700,000 to 800,000 WOLED panels in its OLED TVs this year. To give you a context, this is up from last year’s 10-20 thousand units.
Samsung will use significantly more LG WOLED panels compared to last year
LG Display is expected to manufacture nearly 6 million units this year, from which LG Electronics will utilize 3.5-4 million. LG Display will ship the rest to other manufacturers such as Sony and Samsung. According to the market research agency, Samsung Electronics will purchase a significant proportion of the rest of the LG panels.
Notably, Samsung Display is also one of the big players in the display manufacturing industry, and the company will reportedly manufacture 1.4 million QD-OLED panels this year. Among these, Samsung Electronics themselves will use 1.1 million (nearly the full of it) and they will share the rest with Sony. So, it seems from the research data, that Samsung is focusing on manufacturing QD-OLED panels and fulfilling their demand of WOLED panels with supplements from LG Display. Notably, Samsung is expected to manufacture nearly 2 million OLED TVs this year, which is reportedly double as compared to last year.
Market research reveals that the overall OLED TV sales are expected to reach 6.3 million units this year, with Samsung and LG accounting for 5.5 million units. In summary of the research data, Samsung will utilize LG’s B series and C series TV-level WOLED panels in its OLED TVs but will continue to use in-house QD-OLED panels for its high-end TV products like the S95D that was unveiled at CES this year.
