While this will mean a significant change in panel technologies in televisions for 2023, in terms of maximum brightness and overall picture quality, there is a big progress we can see in 2022 QD-OLED televisions already and that seems to improve further. Even more in 2023: panel reflection suppression technologies.

Currently, both LG’s W-OLED panels with MLA (micro lens array) technology and the upcoming QD-OLEDs, Provides anti-reflective coating it will be very useful especially for rooms where outdoor lighting is great. We’ve already been able to see the change in the impressive Sony A95K, but the technology won’t be exclusive to QD-OLED this year.

“META OLED” panel and microlens technology

Since LG introduced its ‘META OLED’ panel with microlens matrix (MLA), one of its highlights is the massive increase in brightness, 2,100 nits maximum brightness and being able to come face to face with QD-OLEDs for that matter.

This was made possible thanks to the inclusion of a microlens matrix, which is responsible for regulating the passage of light inside the panel. This provides better sensitivity when transmitting reflections outside, which in practice means: higher brightness.

This increase in brightness is also implemented thanks to the new ‘META Booster’ algorithm, which is tasked with better managing the brightness of the panel, while also achieving higher performance and thus offering higher performance. Up to 60% extra brightness compared to previous generation panels.

However, in addition to this increase in brightness, panels with MLA technology also greatly eliminates reflection from outside light. The results are surprising because it is possible to do this without any polarizer.

The new coating for 2023 W-OLED panels is called “Vanta Black” and according to LG, the OLED G3 can reduce reflections by up to 25% produced by a panel like the 2022 OLED C2.

“Vanta Black” anti-reflective coating is approved for LG OLED G3, Panasonic MZ2000 and Philips OLED+908 TVs. In fact, a few days ago we were able to travel to Amsterdam to see this panel perform on Philips top quality television and the results are great.

Anti-reflective coating will also improve on 2023 QD-OLED

The anti-reflective layer in QD-OLED also looks set to improve in 2023. Among all the improvements that will come with these new panels, Samsung will also add: A new anti-reflective technology in panels. It is a mechanism designed to reduce the distortion of light between the layers of the panel and thus reduce the diffusion effect in reflections.

They confirm from Samsung Display that 2023 QD-OLED users will notice too. a more neutral tone in reflectionsunlike the reddish tint that could be seen on the S95B or Sony A95K last year.

2023 is a good year for new panel technologies and we look forward to getting our hands on these new televisions to tell you all the news first hand.
