Competitor to Partner: LG to supply Samsung with OLED TV panels

Among TV panel manufacturers, there are two competing figures - Samsung and LG. However, now these

companies became partners.

What does it mean

According to media reports, Samsung has entered into a deal with LG to supply OLED displays for the Samsung Display division. It turns out that Samsung will be purchasing panels from its longtime competitor for the first time.

Now the parties need to discuss the remainingформальности, после чего сделку закрепят документально. По неофициальным данным, до конца этого года Samsung планирует закупить у LG не менее 1 миллиона панелей, а в следующем году — 4 миллиона, а это уже около половины текущих производственных мощностей LG.

Источники говорят, что причина сделки заключается in increasing prices for LCD panels. What will happen to QD-OLED is not yet clear. Let us remind you that this is a new proprietary technology that combines organic LEDs with a quantum dot filter.
