It is stated that next year, at least one manufacturer will be able to release monitors with OLED panels at a more affordable price. According to the published report, it is stated that prices will decrease more and more as OLED-based monitors become more common.
According to the published report, LG Display is preparing medium-sized WOLED (white-OLED) panels to be used in both TVs and monitors in response to the falling consumer demand in the monitor group. According to the reports, these screens will become available in 2023.
The gaming monitor market shrank for the first time, sales fell
OLED monitors will become cheaper
The first of LG Display’s new panels will be LG Electronics’ 27-inch WOLED, which can be used as a TV or computer monitor. The screen, which will enter production in October, will be released in the first quarter of 2023. LG Display will also start producing 32-inch WOLED panels towards the end of this year without slowing down. However, there is no information about the features, prices or other details of the monitors using these panels for now, but it is stated that they will be cheaper than other OLED monitors.
What is a WOLED display?
LG’s upcoming new panels are different from mid-size OLED monitors that use JOLED panels. WOLED displays actually contrast with OLEDs at one point. Instead of sending light through traditional RGB emitters, WOLED panels emit white light through colored filters, similar to LCDs. So to put it more simply: WOLED is actually much like LCD, but some features are similar to OLED. In WOLED panels, each pixel glows white and uses the RGB filter to create different colors. So they are more different than standard OLEDs.
In 2023, LG and other panel/monitor manufacturers will continue to produce monitors and TVs larger than 40 inches. Differently, LG will try to offer a price advantage with smaller WOLED monitors. We will probably see similar moves from other companies to compete.
