TCL and Juhua Printing’s 31 inch rollable display is NOT QD-OLED

Jan 30, 2020, by Jennifer Colegrove, Ph.D., CEO and Principal Analyst, Touch Display Research

At CES 2020, TCL and Juhua Printing showcased a 31” rollable display made with Ink Jet Printing. Chinese media named nmwhtv reported the news with a video of the rollable display on Jan 8, 2020. http://www.nmwhtv.com/gzxw/2020/0108/gzxw010647824.html. In the Chinese text, it indicated last year at CES 2019, they showed a 31” H-QLED display. Now in CES 2020, they showed a 31” rollable OLED. In the video, there is a small white plate with English words “31” FHD IJP rollable OLED”. The Chinese news is good, nothing wrong.

However, some English media started to report that “TCL and Juhua Printing demonstrated 31” rollable hybrid QD-OLED”, and linked to the same video. Apparently, those media reported the news wrongly. This error might be caused by language barrier, however, why don’t they look into the English words besides the demo? Although the words are small, but still visible, see the picture above.

I’m concerned about the audience and readers of those mis-leading media.

Touch Display Research has published detail analysis of QD-OLED in the “Global Display Technologies 2019-2029 report”, and will published the Quantum Dot 2020 report in early February 2020 to provide the market forecast of QD-OLED displays and QLED displays.

CES 2020: Micro LED and mini LED reached higher level

Jan 11, 2020, by Jennifer Colegrove, Ph.D., CEO and Principal Analyst, Touch Display Research

I just returned from CES 2020 at Las Vegas. It’s my honor to meet some of you in person. CES is the conference where many consumer electronic brands show case their most advanced technologies and the conference that set the trends for the near future. At last year’s CES, micro and mini LED were hot topics (see my blog last year: CES 2019: Micro LED and mini LED made big splash).

This year, at CES 2020, micro and mini LED displays reached an even higher level.

Several existing micro LED display exhibitors continue to showcase larger and more beautiful micro LED digital signage.  Samsung brought a 292” 8K micro LED “The wall” at the CES 2020 exhibition.

One pleasant surprise this year is Konka. At CES 2020, Konka is all-in on micro LED digital signage—they showcased not one but two micro LED signage: one 8K and one 4K. Detail is in the Top 20 technology trends in 2020–CES 2020 special report.

As we know, Konka is one of the more than 200 enterprises working on micro and mini LEDs as we covered in the Micro & Mini LED 2019 Report, and the Micro LED display patent analysis 2020 report.

Which new companies are showing micro LED at CES 2020?

What are the 7 technology directions of advanced TV in 2020?

What are the automotive 5 trends at CES 2020?

All these are covered in the upcoming “Top 20 technology trends in 2020–CES 2020 special report”. Thanks for reading,
