High color gamut, low power, OLED screen time far away from us? -OLED, screen-IT information
Game between LCD and OLED, has become the focus of heated-display industry. "Activist" believes that OLED is the mainstream of the next generation display technologies. "Conservatives" believe that OLED may not be able to replace the LCD, which in the future might formed "peace" situation, and find different applications in the different segments.
June 30-July 1, 2016 international OLED industry Conference, "OLED" father of Professor c. w. Tang said publicly that OLED will eventually replace LCD main display technology in the future. But he did not say at what time, perhaps ten years, 20 years, maybe longer.
As the cost of OLED panels fall, yield improvement and perfection of performance and capacity, will usher in a period of rapid development of OLED industry. But due to lack of technical research and development capabilities, the key domestic panel makers are still dependent on imported raw materials, and equipment. From this point, OLED seems near enough, it would seem very far away from us.
OLED how close to us?
Most closely in contact with consumer electronic products, I am afraid that to the number of mobile phone and TV. While official sources did not disclose the news about OLED products, but Japan said North yuanyangming, Tech&Biz Corporation, Apple in 2017 will produce domestic OLED products have no secret.
OLED into ordinary families in the process, Chinese TV manufacturer Skyworth is one strong promoters of OLED televisions became commonplace. Vice President, Group Managing Director of Skyworth said Sun Ruikun, in a competitive environment, 2015 Skyworth OLED TV has sold 20,000 units. 2015 global OLED TV's sold just more than 400,000 units.
According to the aoweiyun network, 2016 a quarter of China's OLED TV sales jumped to 194% last year. By 2016-2018, the global OLED TV shipments will continue to rise significantly, in 2016, soared to 1.3 million units. Among them, particularly in the Chinese market, 2016 and 2017 will sustain growth of 400% in a row.
Although OLED televisions and mobile phones in the market as a whole less than the poor, but with the falling cost of OLED panels and capacity enhancement, OLED products to market penetration in China will be greatly improved. Consulting Group Deputy General Manager Li Yaqin is expected in 2016, fourth quarter, AMOLED Panel China smartphone market penetration rate is close to 30%, higher than the global rate of market penetration of around 20%. And, the cost of OLED panels will be approaching the cost of LCD panels, even in the foreseeable future under the LCD costs.
OLED how far away from us?
Although OLED penetration rate rising, OLED Panel costs are declining, but that does not mean that AMOLED screens that can be folded so fast to our lives.
Li Yaqin, has now production will be available to Apple and VIVO fixed radius of curvature of the AMOLED screen is 5 mm, border 0.7 mm, touch screen is still glass cover. Really folding OLED Panel, should come after the 2018 we live so near as flexible as we think .
Besides the level of technology in the world aside, panel makers in China's industrial chain and patent short Board is OLED products in the Chinese market in a serious problem.
Electronic the electronic information Division Deputy Director Jin Lei at the Ministry believe that display panel industry there are still some problems, supporting enterprise industry chain in China is relatively weak, most advanced generation Panel equipment, material is still dependent on imports.
In addition, domestic short plate panel makers in OLED patents should not be ignored. Li Yaqin, said Samsung's patented far exceeds all other panel makers, reached 10,000 pieces or more levels, more than 10 times more than the number of domestic manufacturers. Panel makers in China there is no mass production of flexible screen, once mass production will face patent problems in the international market. Meizu, Huawei and Qualcomm patent lawsuit with Apple has stated that patent absence of getting enterprise into clear the passive situation .
Jin Lei, judging from the number of patents now, is ranked comparing locations in mainland China. Most of the patents in Japan and the United States, and Korea in his hand. OLED industry chain is long, Panel in the Middle from materials, equipment, products and raw materials, patents links more, hope to be able to continue to do the work.
Although OLED industry pundits have issues of "tone", but the LCD and OLED's game continues. From one perspective, the game and the debate on the development of OLED has played a certain role. OLED also how far away from us, and how narrow the distance between the Middle, will also be in constant "tone" and find answers in the debate process.
高色域低功耗，OLED屏幕时代离我们有多远？ - OLED,显示屏幕 - IT资讯
LCD与OLED的博弈，已经成为显示产业热议的焦点。“激进派”认为，OLED是下一个时代的主流显示技术。而“保守派”则认为，OLED未必能取代LCD，二者在未来可能会形成“和平相处”的局面，并在不同的细分领域找到各自不同的应用。
在6月30日-7月1日举行的2016中国国际OLED产业大会上，“OLED之父”邓青云教授公开表示，OLED会最终取代LCD成为未来最主要的显示技术。但他并没有讲会在什么时间，也许是十年、二十年，也许会更长。
随着OLED面板成本的下降、良率的提高以及性能和产能的完善，OLED产业将会迎来一个快速发展期。但由于技术研发能力不足，国内面板厂商所需的关键原材料、设备大多还依赖进口。从这一点来讲，OLED好像离我们很近，又好像离我们很远。
OLED离我们有多近？
与普通消费者接触最紧密的电子产品，恐怕要数手机和电视了。虽然苹果官方渠道并没有透露关于OLED产品的消息，但日本Tech&Biz株式会社总经理北原洋明表示，苹果公司将在2017年量产出货OLED产品已经不是什么秘密。
在OLED走入普通家庭的过程中，中国国产电视厂商创维是OLED电视普及工作的坚定推动者之一。创维集团董事副总裁孙瑞坤表示，在激烈的竞争环境下，2015年创维OLED电视的销量达到了2万台。而2015年全球OLED电视的销量仅为40多万台。
奥维云网的数据显示，2016年一季度中国大陆的OLED电视销售量同比去年暴涨了194%。预计2016-2018年，全球OLED电视的出货量将持续大幅攀升，在2016年将猛增到130万台。其中，中国市场的表现尤为突出，2016与2017年都将连续保持400%的增长速度。
虽然目前OLED电视和手机在整体市场中的占比小的可怜，但随着OLED面板成本的下降和产能的提升，OLED产品的在中国市场渗透率将会大幅提高。群智咨询副总经理李亚琴预计，2016年第四季度，中国智能手机市场AMOLED面板的渗透率会接近三成，高于全球市场20%左右的渗透率。而且，OLED面板的成本将逐渐接近LCD面板成本，甚至在可见的未来低于LCD成本。
OLED离我们有多远？
虽然OLED产品的渗透率在不断提升，OLED面板的成本也在逐渐下降，但这并不意味着可折叠的AMOLED屏幕会那么快来到我们生活中。
李亚琴表示，目前已经量产的像将提供给苹果和VIVO的AMOLED屏幕的固定曲率半径是5毫米、边框0.7毫米，触屏部分仍然是玻璃盖板。真正可折叠的OLED面板，应该在2018年以后才会来到我们生活，所以柔性没有我们想的那么近。
除了在全球范围内技术工艺等层面的原因之外，国内面板厂商的产业链配套能力以及专利短板也是OLED产品在中国市场推广中亟待解决的问题。
工信部电子信息司电子基础处副处长金磊认为，显示面板产业还存在一些问题，中国企业的产业链配套能力相对薄弱，高世代面板大部分设备、材料基本上还是依赖进口。
此外，国内面板厂商在OLED专利上的短板也不容忽视。李亚琴表示，三星的专利远超其他所有面板厂商，达到1万件以上的水平，比国内厂商的数量多出十几倍。国内面板厂商目前还没有量产柔性屏幕，一旦量产会在国际市场上面临专利问题。高通与魅族、华为与苹果的专利诉讼就已经说明，专利缺失会让企业陷入明显的被动局面。
金磊表示，目前从专利数量来看，中国大陆是排在比较后的位置。大部分专利还是在日本、美国、韩国手里。OLED产业链是比较长的，从材料、设备、中游面板到下游产品应用，专利环节比较多，希望在这方面能够继续做好推动工作。
虽然已经有行业权威人士对OLED的问题进行“定调”，但LCD与OLED的博弈还在继续。从某个角度来说，产业的博弈和人们的争论对OLED的发展起到了一定的推动作用。OLED离我们还有多远，怎样拉近中间的距离，也将会在不断的“定调”和争论过程中找到答案。
