Cool, so they’ll be available without all the spyware, right? … Right??

behold, nanotechnology

Diode emitting lights?

Won’t these lose brightness over time as the chemical reactions die out, forcing you to buy a new tv?

I get the distinct feeling the writer doesn’t understand quantum Dots, and doesn’t understand the technology behind any of the display technologies he attempts to describe.

Come back if you have it on market.

How much do you reckon the first qdel tv cost? 20k?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

With OLED-equipped TVs, monitors, and other gadgets slowly becoming more readily available at lower prices, attention is turning to what the next landmark consumer display tech will be.

Micro LED often features in such discussions, but the tech is not expected to start hitting consumer devices until the 2030s.

But when it comes to technology that could seriously address top user concerns—like image quality, price, and longevity—quantum dots seem the most pertinent at the moment.

Not to be confused with the QLED (quantum light emitting diode) tech already available in TVs, QDEL displays don’t have a backlight.

The expected result is displays with wider color spaces than today’s QD-OLEDs (quantum dot OLEDs) that are also brighter, more affordable, and resistant to burn-in.

If commercialized and mass-produced, QDEL can have a cost-to-performance ratio better than that of OLED, but it would still struggle to compete with LCD-LED on a cost basis.

Sounds a lot like Sharp going “please don’t buy OLED panels, we don’t make them!”

My 2017 LG OLED is still going strong, looks great, and when it eventually dies, I’ve seen the 77" model in Costco for just over £2000. For all the chatter about burn in, I’ve never seen any of it, and that’s with heavy gaming use. Not sure I’d use one for desktop PC use, but for everything else, just get OLED.

Will they be available in computer monitors?

Quantum!

The fact that quantum dots are already being successfully applied to LCD-LED and OLED screens is encouraging for future QDEL products. QDEL stakeholders claim that the tech could bring efficiencies like lower power consumption and higher brightness than OLED. (Research using a prototype device has recorded quantum dot light-emitting diodes reaching 614,000 nits. Of course, those aren’t the type of results you should expect to see in a real-life consumer product.)

614,000 nits

That’s fucking insane. HDR 1400 displays are at least 1,400 nits. 614,000 nits seems like you’d be staring at the fucking sun.

There’s also hope that QDEL could eventually last longer than OLED, especially since QDEL doesn’t rely on organic materials that can cause burn-in.

Tbh the burn-in issue is the reason why I don’t like OLEDs as computer monitors. I know phones and TVs don’t tend to have major burn-in issues, but the fact that it exists sucks. TVs have a variable-enough image that long-term use isn’t an issue imo, and even the most thrifty person will probably end up replacing their phone every 4~6 yrs. However, I’m used to having computer monitors be long-term things. My last monitor lasted about 10yrs before it died.

As it stands, QDEL displays would become noticeably dimmer more quickly than today’s OLED displays.

Aw, that’s disappointing. At the same time though, if they’re able to get even 10% of the 614,000 nits on commercial units, then they’d have to lose a significant amount of brightness to dim to current display levels.

But optimists believe QDEL display lifetimes could one day be on par with LCD-LEDs and outlast OLEDs.

Yeah, I hope so too.

So if a pixel dies you get to pay more to fix it

I don’t know exactly why but for some reason I hate oled. Maybe it’s the flickering thing. Will that be solved with this tech?
