The Future of OLED Monitors Is Quantum Dots – QD-OLEDs to Capture 73% of Market This Year

The development of OLED display technologies stimulates the growth of QD-OLED model deliveries, TrendForce analysts note. If in 2024 their share was 68%, then by the end of 2025 it will increase to 73%, which emphasizes the high competitiveness of the technology in the high-end monitor market.

Due to the growing market demand, manufacturers are expected to more actively implement QD-OLED technology, which can provide high image quality and high frame rates for gamers and professionals. The most promising are 27-inch models with UHD and QHD resolution, as well as a frequency of 500 Hz – attractive for both gaming and work tasks. They are becoming a key factor in the spread of QD-OLED models. The penetration rate of QD-OLED technology in the 27-inch segment will increase from 32% in 2024 to 47% in 2025, analysts believe. This trend is due to the expansion of the product line and constant technological development.

The key advantage of QD-OLED is that it uses blue OLED light to excite quantum dots, which then emit pure green and red light. This results in higher brightness, richer colors, and a wider color gamut, delivering brighter, more vibrant, and more detailed visuals. However, QD-OLED’s reliance on blue light can negatively impact panel longevity, while residual ambient light can cause unwanted emission in the quantum dots, reducing image clarity. Recent developments have made it possible to add a green emission layer, which has increased luminous efficiency by 30%, which has a positive effect on energy consumption and image quality. PICO inkjet printers have enabled more precise deposition of the quantum dot layer, reaching a density of 140 pixels per inch, delivering 4K resolution on 32-inch panels, further enhancing QD-OLED’s competitiveness in the premium monitor segment.

The largest share of QD-OLED production costs is made up of emission materials and QD film. Inkjet technology produces up to 20% material waste; recently developed recycling methods can recover up to 80% of residual ink, which will help reduce costs and improve resource efficiency. In 2027, Samsung Display is expected to complete the depreciation of its QD-OLED production lines, which will lead to lower production costs, as well as increased competitiveness and adoption of QD-OLED monitors. By that time, the Korean manufacturer plans to introduce a new emission material technology aimed at solving the problem of burn-in and extending the service life of panels.

The OLED TV market is constrained by the growing popularity of ultra-large LCD panels and competitive pricing for Mini LED models. Despite strong consumer interest, OLED adoption in the IT sector remains in its early stages. QD-OLED and WOLED technologies continue to compete in brightness and other parameters, and are expected to drive OLED adoption in new segments outside of IT: industrial control systems, public information displays, and transparent screens, which are also gaining popularity.
