In the competitive world of panel technology, Samsung and LG each have their own preferred path — and that's exactly what fuels their rivalry. LG has heavily invested in OLED, while Samsung is pushing forward with Micro LED. But what really sets these two technologies apart? And who will ultimately come out on top?
LG Display (LGD), a major player in the OLED market, is confident in its future. The company’s CEO, Han Sang-beom, recently announced a massive investment of 20 trillion won ($18.7 billion) into OLED production over the next few years. The goal is to make OLED the main product by 2020, increasing its share from 10% to 40%. These comments were made during an interview at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in the U.S.
This year, LGD expects to sell 2.8 million OLED panels, with a target of 6.5 million by 2020. Recently, LG even unveiled an 88-inch 8K OLED panel, boasting a resolution 16 times higher than standard HD. While LG is betting big on OLED, Samsung is taking a different approach with Micro LED.
Samsung’s new technology, Micro LED, is gaining attention for its potential to revolutionize large-screen displays. At CES, the company showcased the world’s first Micro LED TV, which was one of the most talked-about products of the event. They also revealed “The Wall,†a modular Micro LED display system. It’s not just huge — at 146 inches with 8K resolution — but it can be expanded indefinitely by adding more modules without compromising performance.
So, what’s the real difference between OLED and Micro LED? Traditional LED panels rely on a backlight module, which can cause light leakage and reduce contrast. OLEDs eliminate this by using organic materials that emit light directly, allowing for deeper blacks and better color accuracy. However, OLEDs do have some drawbacks. Over time, the organic materials can degrade, leading to reduced brightness and uneven aging. Additionally, OLED screens are more prone to image retention or "burn-in."
Micro LED, on the other hand, uses tiny inorganic LEDs to create the display. This makes them brighter, more durable, and less likely to age. They also offer better long-term stability and lower risk of image sticking. However, the technology is still in its early stages, and mass production remains a challenge.
While LG remains skeptical about the commercial viability of Micro LED, Samsung is pushing ahead with confidence. As both companies continue to invest in their respective technologies, the battle for the future of display innovation is far from over. Who will win the race? Only time will tell.
