Besides the new TV technology that is being developed, there is also the issue of inflation. This is affecting the consumer spending in the Europe and the US.
Quantum Dot OLED screens
Among the new television technologies that will be launched in 2023 are Quantum Dot OLED TV screens. Using quantum dots, these screens eliminate the need for a color filter and achieve better color reproduction, resulting in brighter, more vibrant images. Quantum dots also help with fewer image artifacts, wider color gamuts and better HDR performance.

Quantum dot OLED TVs combine quantum dots with OLED panels to create more vibrant images. The quantum dots improve color reproduction and maintain the colors throughout the life of the TV. They also improve brightness. Quantum dots can help achieve deep blacks, but they can’t eliminate the possibility of burn-in. Those burn-in problems can lead to color shifts and reduced color saturation in bright scenes.
In comparison to other new television technologies, QD-OLED screens have a more efficient design. They use more zones, which can help improve quality over conventional edge-lit LED displays. In addition, they can translate multiple colors. QD-OLEDs pass the UHD Alliance’s Ultra HD Premium specification.
Compared to conventional OLED panels, these screens are more efficient because they have less material and don’t use color filters to reduce brightness. In fact, they can achieve peak brightness levels of up to 1,000 nits. These are still plenty bright enough to provide a high-end HDR viewing experience.
Quantum dot OLED TVs also have a longer lifespan than conventional OLED TVs. Their blue light output is stabilized through three layers of blue OLED material. Unlike blue organic OLEDs, which degrade in different ways, QD-OLED panels are more stable.
The new QD-OLEDs will offer better HDR performance, and the contrast and brightness could be better than existing OLED TVs. They will also have a longer lifespan, reducing burn-in. They will also reduce manufacturing complexity. These TVs could also cost less over time.
The new Samsung S95B 65-inch model, for example, combines the colour and brightness of quantum dots with the contrast and brightness levels of RGB OLED. It also has a 120Hz refresh rate and FreeSync Premium. The display features 8.3 million self-illuminating pixels and a near-4K resolution.
Samsung’s 65-inch model also includes extra features, including Motion Xcelerator Turbo+ and FreeSync Premium. They also provide smooth action and near-4K resolution.
Inkjet OLED production
Using inkjet technology to print OLED panels has the potential to lower TV prices. The technology is also expected to increase the stability of OLED pixels. Moreover, it can print directly onto the substrate, avoiding the need for an evaporation process. It also ensures more material efficiency and less material waste.
Inkjet technology can be used to print OLEDs onto larger glass sizes, and it can provide more accurate depositing of organic materials. This improves material utilization and decreases production costs. As a result, TV prices are expected to drop by 15-25%.
TCL, one of the world’s most successful Smart TV manufacturers, has been working on an innovative new inkjet printing method for OLED panels. The company’s panel making subsidiary will soon run an inkjet OLED production line. This could make TVs affordable, allowing TCL to compete with other TV manufacturers like QD-OLED.
TCL is partnering with JOLED, one of Japan’s leading inkjet printing companies, to develop new OLED TV printing technologies. TCL will also make an investment of PS144.6 million in JOLED to help develop the process. TCL believes that the printing process will enable higher material efficiency, which will decrease TV prices.
TCL has developed a 65″ 8K OLED panel that was printed using the new inkjet technology. The panel features a DCI-P3 color gamut of 99%. It also includes 33 million pixels.
TCL’s panel making subsidiary will begin manufacturing OLED TV panels using the inkjet method in 2023. The first consumer models will launch in 2023. The company plans to bring 12 new products to DisplayWeek 2022.
Inkjet printing is a process that uses polymer organic materials. These materials can be transformed into liquids with solvents, allowing them to be printed directly onto the substrate. The process also helps to increase production yields. This is expected to reduce production costs by up to 20%.
TCL has a long history of interest in inkjet printing for OLED displays. The company’s panel making subsidiary has spent more than $7 billion developing the technology. Inkjet printing is expected to improve material efficiency, reduce waste and increase production yields. It also eliminates the need for a evaporation process, ensuring accurate depositing of organic materials.
Inflation affects consumer spending in Europe and N. America
Having a high rate of inflation can be problematic for the economy. It can eat into wages and lead to other issues. It is important for the government to try to fight inflation through fiscal and monetary policies.
It is also important to understand that there are several types of inflation. Some of them include demand-pull inflation, cost-push inflation, and deflation. Each of these inflations has its own unique characteristics.
Demand-pull inflation occurs when the money supply exceeds the economy’s capacity to produce. Cost-push inflation occurs when the price of goods rises due to an increase in the price of oil, gas, or other commodities. Deflation, on the other hand, occurs when the price of goods falls.
Demand-pull inflation is more likely to be permanent, while cost-push inflation is more likely to be transitory. Both are common ways for central banks to try to control inflation. Typically, a central bank raises or lowers short-term interest rates to stimulate or slow down economic activity. Similarly, a central bank may increase or decrease the reserve requirement required of banks.
Demand-pull inflation occurs when there is a general increase in spending by the consumer. Typically, the increase in spending is due to positive consumer sentiment. However, there is no way to know if the increased spending will be permanent. Similarly, the rise in prices may be due to an unexpected event.
Demand-pull inflation occurs when a central bank increases the money supply. Usually, the increased money supply leads to positive consumer sentiment. However, companies may hesitate to increase output if they don’t have the resources to hire enough workers or to expand production facilities.
The consumer spending industry in the United States and Europe is impacted by both demand-pull and cost-push inflation. In the United States, energy prices rose 41.9% from a year earlier, while core prices grew 5.0%. This is the largest increase in core prices in nearly four decades.
In Europe, on the other hand, annual inflation hit 8.6 percent in June, the highest since 1997. Core prices grew 0.6% from a year earlier, while food prices increased 13.1%.
