Only 30% of QD-OLED panels that are made by Samsung Display can actually be used according to reports – and improvements likely won’t be made if the tech isn’t a success.
The announcement of all-new QD-OLED TVs was one of the most exciting from CES 2022, though the latest reports suggest widespread adoption of the panels could be delayed thanks to production issues. According to a report from Korean news outlet The Elec (via What Hi-Fi), Samsung Display is experiencing slow production for the QD-OLED caused by a low production yield rate – which is believed to be around 30%. If true this means only three in every 10 displays that are produced can actually be used – that’s really not good in case you were still unsure. Because so many displays are going to waste, the few QD-OLED TVs that are manufactured will have to cover not only their own costs but the costs of defective units too.
