Korean media The Elec recently reported that "RGB-Mini LED" TVs—which replace traditional white Mini LED backlights with red (R), green (G), and blue (B) Mini LEDs—could negatively impact OLED TV sales.
Hisense recently launched pre-orders for a 116-inch RGB-Mini LED TV on JD.com, priced at $13,800 (originally 99,999 CNY).
Samsung Electronics President Yong Seok-woo stated at a recent TV product launch:
*"We will release a 115-inch RGB Micro LED TV this year."*
Though he didn’t specify the launch date, reports suggest Samsung plans to unveil it in June.
Sony announced in March that it has developed an RGB-Mini LED TV.
LG Electronics and TCL are also working on RGB-Mini LED TVs.
Omdia predicts that if RGB-Mini LED TV shipments increase by 2026, the premium TV market (including high-end LCD TVs) will remain strong. OLED TVs could also strengthen their position in this segment.
However, if RGB-Mini LED TVs are priced similarly to existing high-end LCD TVs, they may hurt OLED TV sales. This is because consumer preference for premium LCD TVs could grow in the high-end market.
Omdia forecasts that starting this year, Mini LED TV shipments (including RGB-Mini LED models) will significantly surpass OLED TV shipments.
- 2024 Projections:
- Mini LED TVs: Just over 12 million units
- OLED TVs: Around 6 million units
- 2023 Comparison:
- Both Mini LED and OLED TVs shipped roughly 6 million units each.
The key difference between traditional Mini LED TVs and RGB-Mini LED TVs lies in the backlight:
- White Mini LEDs: Combine blue LEDs with phosphors to produce white light, mixing wavelengths and reducing color purity when filtered.
- RGB Mini LEDs: Maintain pure wavelengths for each color, preserving higher color purity even after filtering.
Additionally, as LED chip sizes shrink, local dimming zones (which control light on/off) can increase, improving contrast.
