LG Display’s OLED Panels Prove Technical Prowess in China

First supply for TCL’s monitors
Targeting gaming and premium markets
Realizing 4K high-resolution

Korean display companies are stepping up efforts to target the Chinese organic light-emitting diode (OLED) market as Chinese home appliance companies rapidly transition from liquid crystal display (LCD) monitors to premium OLED monitors.
According to industry sources, TCL recently launched its first OLED monitor, the 32X3A OLED monitor, adopting the latest OLED panel from LG Display.
This product delivers 4K high-resolution, and a refresh rate of 240Hz through an LG Display OLED panel. It also features a dynamic frequency and resolution (DFR) function that allows the monitor to switch to 1080p at up to 480Hz, especially to meet demand from e-Sports gamers. The technology can currently be implemented only through LG Display’s OLED panels. TCL is said to have selected the panel for its first OLED monitor because of this feature. TCL is a strong player in the TV market but a relative newcomer in monitors.

Chinese panel makers, including TCL China Star (CSOT), Everdisplay (EDO) and BOE, have yet to match Korean companies in the latter’s mass-production scale and performance of OLED panels.
OLED panels produced by TCL China Star are reportedly currently used only in smartphones and smartwatches. As Chinese companies have yet to master mass-production of large OLED panels used in TVs and monitors, they have no choice but to still rely on Korean-made panels.

TCL’s decision to advance into the premium monitor market by launching its first LED monitor after focusing only on LCD so far reflects the rapid growth of the related industry in China. According to global market tracker Omdia, China accounted for a quarter (24.1%) of global monitor shipments last year, surpassing North America at 22.3% to become the world’s largest monitor market.
