The mini-LED TV market in 2025 is the trend of the premium TV market

Products with more advanced LCDs appear. It is an LCD that has greatly improved brightness, HDR, and color reproducibility by adding QD film and mini-LED to BLU. The existing top-level LCD used a full array local dimming (FALD) BLU with a local dimming zone of about 300 to 500. When the local dimming zone is increased to more than 3,000 by using mini-LED, the contrast ratio is significantly improved, and the halo effect is reduced compared to FALD BLU LCD TVs. In order to achieve the same performance as OLED, the local dimming zone must have as many pixels as the number of pixels, but due to the limitation of LED size reduction, mini-LED TVs to be sold this year will have a local dimming zone of 1,000-3,000 products.

OLED performance analysis in the first half of 2020

The cover window material of Samsung Electronics 'Galaxy Z Fold 2' which will be released in the second half of this year, is UTG like 'Galaxy Z Filp'. The reason why Samsung Electronics prefers UTG is analyzed for its sense of luxury, differentiation, and sensitivity for the touch pen expected to be applied in the future. In 2021, the market for over 10 million foldable phones is expected to expand, and the main cover window material of Samsung's foldable phones will be UTG. To respond to this, Dowooinsys should increase their capacity.
