| Industry experts say that MicroLED cannot compete with OLED |
Although OLED TVs like the LG C3 OLED and Samsung S95C OLED are some of the best TVs you can buy this year, there's always a fear that something better is on the way. Fortunately, according to Mike Hack, Vice President of Universal Display, there's no need to worry: Thanks to innovations like PHOLED and OLED Panel Dry Printing (OVJP), OLED will be the best display technology for at least the next 10 years. In an interview with The Elec Hack, he said that MicroLED, a strong competitor to OLED, looks impressive but cannot compete with OLED in terms of price. "It's an interesting technology, but it's going to be very difficult to compete with OLEDs," Hack said. “MicroLED technology is not yet commercially available for most products and I think it will be very difficult for MicroLEDs to compete with OLEDs today.
What future awaits OLED TVs?
Of course, you'd expect a Vice President of one of the world's largest OLED panel makers to say that OLED is the future of display technology, but Hack has some insight into the upcoming OLED panel innovations and can speak up. with confidence, some authority over the future of this type of ad.
The innovations Hack seems most excited about are PHOLED and dry printing. In the first case, the blue fluorescent sub-pixels are replaced by phosphorescent sub-pixels. Glow-in-the-dark sub-pixels are more energy efficient and can therefore be the key to better picture quality and longer TV life. Dry printing, on the other hand, is a new way of manufacturing OLED panels that generates less waste. Less waste is good for both the environment and your wallet, as OLED manufacturers have to factor in the cost of waste materials when selling the panel to LG or Samsung.
Lower prices are key to keeping OLEDs at the forefront of the display world. One of the biggest problems with MicroLED technology is that it's still incredibly expensive to produce, meaning MicroLED TVs like Samsung's The Wall are significantly more expensive than similarly sized OLED TVs from LG, albeit when OLED scaled to even larger sizes expands. In short, MicroLED is an exciting technology, but you don't have to worry about replacing your new OLED TV any time soon.
