Panel technology research continues and all manufacturers are trying to create the best display at the lowest price. While Samsung, LG and Boey are generally considered innovators in this area, Canon has recently developed a new QD-OLED display material that uses lead instead of rare earth metals.

Canon develops new material for QD-OLED display

Canon has developed a new QD-OLED display material that uses lead instead of rare earth metals. This breakthrough could significantly reduce the production costs of QD-OLED displays and make them more affordable. QD-OLED displays are known for their high contrast ratio, wide viewing angles, and accurate color reproduction. However, they were very expensive due to the use of rare earth metals in their production. Canon’s new material could change that.

Lead is a much more common and easily recyclable metal than rare earth metals, making it a more environmentally friendly option. Canon’s new material is also said to be as strong as material made from rare earth metals. This could make Canon a key player in the QD-OLED market as it could offer a more affordable and sustainable alternative to Samsung’s products.

If successfully commercialized, Canon’s new QD-OLED display material could revolutionize the display industry. This could make high-end OLED displays more affordable and accessible to consumers. It can also help reduce the environmental impact of the display industry. Canon plans to commercialize its new QD-OLED display in the mid-2020s.
