The Korea Times: "Samsung Display to close LCD business"

https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/tech/2022/05/419_330008.html

“Samsung Display will no longer produce LCDs used for large TV screens and focus instead on manufacturing organic light-emitting diode (OLED) and quantum dot (QD) displays. The employees of the LCD businesses are expected to be transferred to the QD businesses.”

Good riddance. The age of OLED is upon us!

A bit misleading, to be honest. Samsung will still use LCD panels for its TVs, but instead of just doing them themselves, they'll bought them from their Chinese competitiors because they're cheaper. After all, they're already doing it.

But hey, the bigger the production of OLEd/QD-OLED, the more the costs will fall, which is good for all of us.

Well Samsung Electronics and Samsung Displays are two different subsidiaries. Samsung Display manufacturers panels who then sells to Samsung Display and other companies like Sony while Samsung Electronics sells TVs and etc who sources panels from Samsung Display and other panel manufacturing companies. Samsung Electronics will continue to use LCD panels from other companies while Samsung Display will go full on OLED.

Yes, I know how this big corporations work. LG, Philips, etc. work the same way. Hell, Samsung even ha a subsidiary called Samsung Heavy that builds ships and, I kid you not, will develop floating nuclear power plants! (see this fore the non-believers)

Still, the result is the same I said, you'll still find LCD TVs from Samsung in the stores, the only difference being that all of them will use panels from other companies.
