Samsung Display’s QD-OLED Monitor Panel Shipments Surpass 5 Million Units

On April 9, according to South Korean media, Samsung Display announced on April 9 that its QD‑OLED monitor panels have surpassed 5 million units in cumulative shipments just four years after mass production began in 2021, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 320%, making it a core force driving technological upgrading in the high-end monitor market.

Data shows that after hitting 1 million cumulative shipments in May 2024, Samsung Display’s QD‑OLED monitor panels crossed the 5‑million threshold in less than two years.

To strengthen its technological leadership, Samsung Display recently adopted a V‑Stripe pixel structure in new products, significantly improving visibility. It also features the QuantumBlack film, which reduces reflectance by 20%. The company is deepening cooperation with more than 20 global brands to expand high‑end market coverage for esports and creative design users.

Son Dong‑il, Vice President of Samsung Display, stated: “Leveraging the image quality advantages and stable production capacity of QD‑OLED, we will continue to accelerate technological upgrading and replacement in the monitor market.”

Meanwhile, TCL CSOT plans to launch monitor panels using its self‑developed inkjet‑printed OLED technology. LG Display is also ramping up OLED for monitors, with shipments rising from about 100,000 units in 2023 to 200,000 in 2024 and 400,000 in 2025, as it steps up efforts to capture market share.

Data from market researcher UBI Research shows the global OLED monitor market reached 3.2 million units in 2025, a sharp year‑on‑year increase of 64% from 1.95 million units in 2024. Growth is expected to remain above 50% in 2026, making OLED monitors the fastest‑growing segment in the mid‑to‑large OLED sector.

Analysts note that the core driver behind panel makers’ aggressive OLED monitor push is higher production efficiency and profitability. Taking Gen 8.5 substrates as an example, the cutting yield for TV panels is about 60%–70%, while for monitor panels it exceeds 90%, offering stronger line utilization and economic benefits.
