Hey everyone! Some folks wanna call it NanoLED. What do you think of that? Let me know! But this partnership with Sharp and Nanosys is looking gooood.
Could be conflated with Nanocell tvs, which is probably not a good thing…
Should be out just in time to replace my U8H!
@@MrManguy17 agreed. I mean, we already have too many acronyms.
@@MrManguy17 and also, yeah, of all things to be confused for, not nanocell please
is it "nano" tho? i mean the micro leds are small enough..
This is possibly the only news to come out of CES that is truly innovative and exciting
You said it!
eh idk about that..
there were some great showcases from pc hardware that are probably better than this
THIS is the reason that SONY has hinted that OLED is nearly DEAD for them. As usual they are WAY ahead of the curve compared with LG and Samsung (one or both will be gone within three years) and its obvious Hisense and TCL are going to battle it out for "biggest and brightest AND mediocre" TVs. 100% guarantee SONY already have some sort of a deal with Sharp for this tech. SONY is already phasing out their current OLED line and by the end of this year they will be virtually gone at the HIGH end levels. You will see these TVs in 2025 for sure.
Would be overpriced and underwhelming

Way more exciting than transparent displays.
Thank you for bringing us the coverage.
I am so excited for QDEL to take off.
Transparent TV is a gimmick and a joke. Will NEVER sell.
@@steveludwig4200It could be quite useful for commercial, industrial, scientific applications where a HUD is desired.
@@steveludwig4200Tell me you're NOT the target audience without telling me you're NOT the target audience. 🤣🤣🤣
@@PSYCHOV3N0Mit doesn't change the fact that he is right. Transparent TVs are not even original. Panasonic displayed a transparent TV several years ago at CES. It's nothing new. And that never saw the light of day either. Or how about LG"s rollable TV? Care to tell me where that is at your local store? Or who was the market for that? Because last time I checked they only ever sold a handful to a few super rich people. Hardly a consumer product. Either these things are just far too expensive to produce for the average consumer. Or they are simply not practical for the average person. A transparent TV makes sense for installations or something like that. But not for the average person. It is Ultimately just a gimmick. An impressive gimmick.....but a gimmick nonetheless. And transparent TVs are as unlikely to be on sale at a store near you as rollable TVs.
@@Sabundy they arent meant for the average person
Sharp Aquos used to rule the TV world for a short period; glad to see Sharp developing new technology and hopefully be able to take advantage of it.
Sharp ruled the LCD world for a Long time until they were first overtaken by the Korean Giants and then by the Chinese. They were for a Long time the only Company with SDP with a Gen.10 LCD fab. And they exploited the superior IGZO backplane Technology.
@@zico9013 Taiwan isn't China. Not trying to say there isn't Chinese government influence on Foxconn but you get that anywhere (governments influencing tech companies).
@@nimroderyTaiwan *is* China. Dont think about China as we know western countries divided in states or provinces. Taiwan is part of Republic Of China.
@@marioalday5966 Sorry, no. If you keep it up I'll start referring to China as "Mainland Taiwan."
@@marioalday5966think of Taiwan as South Korea and Mainland China as North Korea. They both share the name China/Korea but 2 separate governments and states. When people think of China they think, People's Republic of China (Mainland China). When people think of Taiwan they think of a separate country that isn't, People's Republic of China.
I’ve been waiting on this. Not just because of its image quality potential or its long life span, but primarily because of the claim that it’s cheap to make. As long as companies don’t jack up the prices on QDEL/NanoLED compared to the competition (especially compared to LCDs), this has the potential to be unmatched in terms of price-to-performance and could return us to a monolithic display standard like during the reign of Cathode Ray Tubes.
Yeah, this utterly trumps the strengths of OLEDs, inherits none of the faults of self-emissive tech, while being able to use existing LCD/LED TV TFT factory tooling. That's... this shit is much closer than anyone thinks if it gets the right companies looking into this.
"Cheap to make" only means more money for them.
They will sell it at a higher price because it's new tech, then in time they will lower the price to be in the range of the competitors. These are "for profit companies" and they will always have a target.
And they always try and raise that target point.
If the panels don't die as OLED panels do, they will ask a premium price just for that. Better colors ? Premium price. Better brightness? Premium price.
If other companies will use this display, they will pay royalties.
They will add those royalties in the device's price.
It will take years for the prices to lower and stabilize.
@@CrashBashL The greatest factor by far with prices on these things has been the manufacturing cost. It's not really greed like you make it out to be.
@@lightbox8019 Well, I live on this planet and since 3 years ago, greed is at its maximum overdrive all around us.
@@CrashBashL In what way?
Thanks Caleb for hunting this down. I've been following this technology for a long time and it really sounds promising. It's great to see that Sharp is serious about pursuing it. If it can achieve the longevity and brightness levels that current tv buyers are demanding, then maybe we could finally see this come to market.
Ya, it looks kind of dark at the moment?
I know its a prototype. But it looks horrible with bad contrast and washed out color. It may be the best display but they could very likely hold it back on purpose like they did with the micro led tvs by adding that terrible matte screen.
This RUclipsr excitement about future display tech really reminded me of the excitement I felt more than 20 years ago.
I remember the first time I read about OLED tech. It was 2002 and I was in my first year of industrial design university. I was so excited about the tech - an-ultra-thin display that could be bent. It really made a mark on me.
Fast forward to 2017 and I found myself designing what would soon become the 2nd foldable OLED screen smartphone in the world. I never chased that - it just happened. Somehow I felt completed.
QDEL matching brightness and contrast of OLED plus fixing the burn in issue, longevity, and vacuum manufacturing of OLED is a huge win. Even better if it can repurpose the LCD manufacturing lines which are not worth much and would gladly switch to a technology like this. Finally something that might kill off LCD after 40+ years!
Do we know for sure if burn in is possible or not with QDEL? Any display where the light source dims as it ages can cause burn-in.
Hopeful, but waiting to see it in person first.
@@jimv1983Quantum dots either burn out or they don't. They don't wear over time.
There is no burn in, since there are no organic materials to burn in.@@jimv1983

Heard about this quantum dot emissive display almost a decade ago on an episode of HD Nation. One of the co-hosts, Robert Heron, was invited to a secret room at CES and shared everything he could about it. Oled TV's were in its infancy, and the idea of micro-LED's were only in the proof of concept stages. It was exciting learning about all of this tech being developed, and I'm glad it's finally coming to fruition.
I know its a prototype. But it looks horrible with bad contrast and washed out color. It may be the best display but they could very likely hold it back on purpose like they did with the micro led tvs by adding that terrible matte screen.
I really thought Sharp was done in the Display tech and now their back! I still remember the yellow sub pixel tech they did for 1080p tvs and couldn't find a way to make it happen for 4k. I'm excited to hear more about this tech and what becomes of it in the near future. Thanks for finding this gem!
SHARP have often led and still lead innovation, they are a force to be reckoned with, and being one of the few panel makers it's good to see them pioneering the next cutting-edge thing...
so true. If anything SHARP is very underrated
I don't think our household has bought anything Sharp except that one scientific calculator for school way back in 1995 😂 but since the 80s or earlier we've contributed to the incomes of Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, etc even Westinghouse.
@@miaya3898 but you most likely have used their displays without knowing it. SHARP made the displays for the iphones for years, makes the displays for the Nintendo Switches, and makes the LCD displays for Samsung.
@@Sabundy maybe but Sharp earned trinkets from those. Otherwise they wouldn't have gone bankrupt.
SHARP being the main innovator of many areas including digital panels invented and patented the 'pinch & swipe' tech you use on your smartphone and supply panels to all the main manufacturers, including iPhones, so you are likely using SHARP in one way or another. They also invest and support countries and universities with manufacturing and R&D centres unlike many companies in the same realm. @@miaya3898 😉
The next generation of displays is here, and it is real. If everything Sharp said is true, then LCD and OLED just became super obsolete, both from a cost AND performance perspective. Welcome back to the game, Sharp.
Fan-freakin-tastic!!!
You are getting a little ahead of yourself my friend. This tech needs some more time in the oven.
If QDEL can hit the performance numbers that QD/OLED is hitting right right now then this is incredibly exciting 😍
Given it's active matrix it will be much more power efficient in theory too,no better abl
@lancealex382 QD oled is active matrix. There are no passive matrix color displays on the market of any type. To my knowledge, I don't believe that is even possible. If it is, I certainly can't think of a valid reason for such a production. If you see TFT or Thin Film Transistor anywhere in the spec sheet, it is active matrix.
Ok. But what if - just a what if - when it came out in a TV, it would peak at 1,000 nits across the board (color and white) but the color purity and accuracy and gamut coverage was better than you’d ever seen? In other words, not insanity bright, but color perfection and perfect contrast. Still want it?
@@TheJjjoj not my understanding at all. Amoled technology is not used in TV displays or anything bigger than laptop/tablets in fact.
Currently if you want to illuminate a pixel on a oled or qdoled TV screen the power has to be sent to the entire line of pixels and the correct on will activate. With amoled, that power can be sent specifically and exclusively to the individual pixel only. That's my understanding of the key differences. Apparently, it's currently too expensive to produce amoled TV size screens.
@@Caleb_DenisonYes, that is the enitre point of electroluminescent quantum dots. Color purity on a whole other level.
Just imagine if Sony jumped on this with all their processing skills they can put in. Could be Holy Grail TV 🤯
Exactly what I thought!
Sony just takes whatever panel they think is best then works their magic
So if they think it’s worth it..big things could happen
Consumers going to consume. Every year is labelled the "holy grail." It doesn't exist.
Samsung and Sony have both been working on QDEL for years based on some of the statements various individuals in their respective companies have said.
Yeap....
I don't comment much but I wanted to say great video, the passion for the subject matter and the explanation to contextualise the different screen technologies shone through. Keep it up Caleb/Digital Trends team!
I double down on this - i saved the video to share with my students in „AV Technologies“ lecture as you nailed it in such a short but yet complete overview. Great work.
On QDEL: max possible brightness and luminance stability would be interesting to know. But at the given time it’s already a bless to know that there are alternatives to micro LED
Well said. Caleb just made a whole bunch of tech terminology clear to me with this presentation and his enthusiasm for this new tech has rubbed off on me. It makes a lot of sense to leverage and retool existing tech (QD) and evolve it for a superior end result.
Great explanation of the QDEL technology! No one does this better than Caleb Denison! The technology sounds amazing and I look forward to hearing more about it and its progress.
I agree
QD OLED went from being shown as concepts to actual products in just a few years, it wouldn't surprise me if that is the case here too
This seems easy to produce too, if the manufactures will be willing to of course.
Not the same though. QD-OLED is the same as LG's WOLED except that it uses blue LEDs instead of white and has a quantum dot filter. This is an entirely new type of panel. It's more like going from LCD to OLED.
@@drkevorkian2508 I don't think so. The manufacturing commoniality between LCD and QDEL is very, very high.
I don't think it will be as easy as QD-OLED and I don't think it will be as hard as OLED, although that depends on definition, because we have been working on QDEL for close to 2 decades now too.
Its my understanding that right now, they are fighting with blue QD-LEDs, where the lifespan is substantially lower.
The last numbers I have are(all at 100nits, in hours, time until 50% brightness is reached): 2 Million for Red, about 600k for green and a measely 41k for blue.
The paper for the blue one also featured brightness over time at 1000nits, where blue was only doing about 2000h, extrapolate to the other ones(100k for red, 30k for green) and all but blue would be viable for a display. If you look at the history, advancements are rapid right now.
Note that atleast for the last one, that paper just released and we don't know what the big manufacturers, including Nanosys, have in their hands.
You are the No.1, first in the entire world to preview this working QDEL technology. Congratulations and thank you for this video.
Great find Caleb! I love how most of the coverage was in front of massive all-singing all-dancing installations but this most exciting piece of news is in a small white-walled room in a tiny screen atop an industrial box. Future tech!
According to Nanosys roadmap I saw i long time ago (LTT talked about that 3-4 years ago), QDEL displays should be available (in mass production) around 2027... wait and see ;p
This is the sort of stuff I want to see at CES, not yet another fridge you can connect to your phone.
My phone keeps telling me I'm low on milk... but I don't want to any milk! 😡
Hope Sharp returns to the success it once enjoyed, used to love their products.
This is truly exciting stuff!! Great find Caleb!
Caleb Denison, You're JUST the kind we need, after mentioning you're going to SID Display Week 2024 on this video. The technology you shown us here is LOVELY, BUT it's by no mean's as good as Porotech DPT. If you're going to SID Display Week 2024, look at this technology if you want, BUT track down Porotech for DPT, as this looks more superior. Give Porotech ALL the support and cover as much as you can, He needs you BADLY!
Awesome content and information on a regular. You're a true gem.
No I'm not crying, some self-emissive nano particles stuck in my eye.
Interesting that the QDEL panel doesn't need an LTPO or LTPS backplane. IGZO can only produce about half the current of LTPS. Being able to use IGZO is a huge cost savings so that is pretty awesome. Getting it to a reasonable price should only take a few years once it hits the consumer market. The question I have is if the IGZO backplane actually properly powers it or if it requires any kind of overdrive.
Indium and gallium are rare elements, so the price of raw materials will only rise with higher demand.
Most tablet sizes and bigger does not use LTPO or LTPS. Apple 120hz iPads are IGZO, choosing IGZO is better for scaling to bigger size.
@@maou5025it has nothing to do with size. iPads use IPS panels. IPS panels don't need nearly as much current to drive the pixels as VA LCD panels , OLED, and micro led need. Igzo was actually created largely to be a more efficient alternative to ltps for panel types that don't demand as much current to drive the pixels but still need more than what amorphous silicone backplanes are able to adequately provide. LTPO was created to essentially be an in-between of IGZO and LTPS but really only makes sense in small form factors. If QDEL is able to function well without ghosting or other issues caused by an underpowered backplane for the display type, then it's an even bigger improvement in power efficiency than we thought it was.
@@TheJjjoj it is, back plane wise LTPS are extremely hard to scale up. It’s in the name it self LT is Low Temp and only works well on phone size screen. LTPS is still the highest quality back plane at the moment, with LTPO a higher version of LTPS. IGZO are much cheaper and scale better as it does not require Low Temp and can be cut from much bigger mother glass.
But what about the FODDS or ADPET LCD TVR? Maybe if they can make LCDTRO it will be like WEDRLEA.
Fantastic work Caleb! Thank you.
This is the display technology IBM first showed but never had any breakthrough in 10 to 15 years . This display will be game changing.
Now this is what I wanna see. I don't like OLED due to the burn in issue. Excited to see more.
It’s going to come down to how quickly microLED can solve the scale problem. With Apple putting microLED in the Apple Watching within the next 1000 days or so… scale typically leads to efficiency
I would love to see a video about the pros and cons of QDEL vs. Micro-LED since I still don't quite understand which one's better and has higher chances being the new successor to OLED. Because these companies have shown Micro-LED for so long now and there are still no consumer/normal sized TV's out. So maybe Micro-LED will come first when it's ready and then someday later QDEL? Also seems like Micro-LED TV's have these seams because they're made out of multiple panels put together. I'm wondering if they can be produced without these seams by making one big panel in the future. Because this would be the only thing coming to my mind that would be a differentiator and if the seams can't get rid of then QDEL must be the ultimate technology here.
I think both QDEL and Micro LED are pretty much the holy grail. It's a cost issue with Micro LED though, as you need almost 25 million individual LEDs for a 4k display and you can't "print" them in the same way you can print quantum dots. The price of Micro LED needs to come down an order of magnitude before it rivals OLED. If QDEL can be scaled up in performance and size quickly enough, it could make OLED and Micro LED both obsolete. The demo QDEL seemed very poor saturation and they were careful not to show anything moving fast on it. I'll let them off, it was a very early prototype! Exciting times. The seams between Micro LED subpanels shouldn't be visible in normal use cases, but will be with intense direct front lighting. I'm sure a single large Micro LED panel is possible, but again, that's going to be a price issue!
QDEL could be the leader if the stability issues of blue QD‘s are solved. I would bet on QNED from Samsung which is basically also a microLED technology but without the costly RGB pick and place issue current microLED‘s have. That will prevent microLED from reaching Consumer affordable Prices (
@doctor_gee Okay aside costs is Micro-LED having better picture quality?
@@John.bww03 QDEL is so early in development that I wouldn't like to say for sure. I can theorise though - quantum dots emit a much purer colour than conventional LEDs (in technical terms, a narrower spectral half width). They're therefore theoretically capable of more precise and vibrant colours. I don't think there's much between them though honestly, which is why cost is so important now. Quantum dots should also be more efficient, power consumption is definitely a problem for Micro LED too.
@@John.bww03QDEL.
NOT QLED.
Awesome stuff Caleb! Just learned so much about how TVs work and how the best works!!! Thanks!
Awesome, good for Sharp for paving the way in the display industry.
Lotsa question marks. How high can the pixel density be (that's the biggest problem with mLED right now IIRC)? Refresh rate? Reaction time?
Response time.
NOT reaction time.
@@PSYCHOV3N0M Correct. I was tired and confused it with what it's called in my language.
Up to 10000 ppi. There is already existing 55" 8k prototype.
The pixel density won't be an issue, atleast not for screens, there was atleast one 4000ppi prototype. Response times are also what dictates refreshrate and we are at the microsecond level, atleast from what I read in a paper(dedicated to improving the lifespan of blue QD-LEDs). There are no issues in any of the three areas to my understanding.
I thought MicroLED is the holy grail of display tech.
Is QDEL that much better?
I was wondering that too!
It id better, yes. It's ultimate tech that has no flaws.
i only just now heard of this QDEL thing. I have been following the news of MicroLED for awhile, in hopes of it becoming consumer ready soon.
from how it looks in this video, and based on how it's being presented... and also the current implied limitations of MicroLED... i have come to a theory:
- MicroLED will primarily be focused on TVs, larger screens especially. 55"+ .. there's a rumored 37" being shown but someone said it might only be 1080p as it is cut from the large panels previously shown. It might not be scalable down to PC monitors/laptop/mobile device level anytime soon.
- QDEL seems to be the opposite. it's being demo'd on small screens as shown in this video. there's not as much hype or widespread knowledge about it either. As the guy in the video suggested: it might appear on phones, your watch, small laptop screens, whatever. My big concern is... please tell me it's not as dim looking as this video shows it as being? Sure, the guy says color clarity is unmatched, but this video makes it look insanely dull. We need to see more of this in action, honestly. Also, it's not very bright looking. OLED is criticized for burn-in and low peak brightness, but this looks even lower in brightness than even the worst OLEDs.
so... will these techs just diverge into 'big stuff use mLED and small stuff use QDEL'? or.. will it be 'expensive stuff use mLED and cheap stuff use QDEL?' is QDEL the walmart mLED?
i need to see more of this.
very cool, good find. I have been waiting to see this finally start development.
awesome news like always thanks for all your content!!
Any information from Sharp on brightness? It doesn’t seem too bright from the video. And the 30” prototype was in a dark box
up to 10000 nits, can also be any size and form. It's official info.
@@jasonstatham483 From where?
Peak QD already reached near 100k nits, but thats not sustainable and I am not finding any lifespan data that would support 10k nits as of now.
SHARP is such an underrated display manufacturer. All the talk usually centres around LG and Samsung display. But most people have probably had or used SHARP displays without knowing about it. SHARP made the displays for the iPhones for many years. Made the LCD displays for Samsung, and make the displays for the various Nintendo Switch models. I believe they use their IGZIO technology on the Switch.
So it shouldn't really be a surprise to see SHARP innovating with a different take on the current TV tech
Where are you getting the info about the switch? I am curious. I think this technology is perfect for the upcoming successor to the switch for sure. If I'm not mistaken the iPad mini generation 1 was an igzo display. Extremely power efficient from what I understand. That thing had some incredible battery life.
@@phantomgfx580I can't remember exactly but it's not a secret. It was Nintendo themselves that said the Switch display was made by SHARP. And remember that Nintendo and SHARP (both companies from the Kansai region of Japan) have a long history. SHARP has manufactured many things for Nintendo. That's why in the 90s there was a SHARP TV with a Nintendo NES built into it. SHARP was allowed to do that by Nintendo because of their long relationship.
And yes... That's very correct. SHARP did also make the displays for the iPads too.
The CEO of SHARP confirmed earlier this year that SHARP is currently making displays for the Switch 2. You should be easily able to find links online.
@@phantomgfx580I don't remember specifically. But I remember Nintendo openly talking about the display being a SHARP IGZIO display. And it's not surprising since Nintendo and SHARP have a long history of working together.
Awesome work Caleb. Best vid from CES 2024 😁
You put this some bigass 40"+ ultrawide monior with 8k and a 65"+ TV and you got my money no questions asked.
The proof of concept is great. The image does look a bit dim and dull, so hopefully, this can be improved.
I know its a prototype. But it looks horrible with bad contrast and washed out color. It may be the best display but they could very likely hold it back on purpose like they did with the micro led tvs by adding that terrible matte screen.
@@lewisevander why would they hold it back on purpose?
@@ArnoldTohtFan because they want to keep making money with newer models.
@@lewisevander any idea why the picture here is so yellow? and why the screen is matte? it looks terrible
Glad to see Sharp back. Definitely missed them. They finally need to put all that Japanese horsepower to good use, with Sony, Panasonic and Toshiba, to beat South Korea and China.
Such informative video thanks for sharing the knowledge.
Wow. Sharp comin in here like a Pheonix out of the flames!
Very cool to see, though the picture quality didn't yet look all that amazing at least in the video, but for a first working prototype that's a big step and I'm sure they were more focused on making it work than perfecting it as a display for this first go around.
Super exciting. Given the challenges of microled manufacturing it seems like this might be the future. If this is genuinely easy to manufacture and Nanosys has been talking about it for years though, why haven't the larger companies gone full in on this tech? Hope it's not more than 5 years away, but it feels almost certain that it is considering that the Chinese brands are placing their bets on oled.
Sharp is back baby!
This is the content I live for, keep it going!
This actually does sound pretty damn exciting. The way you describe it, it sounds like we could actually see a production model of QDEL in some form in the very near future. Dare I say, maybe next year even. Sony's sudden departure from OLED would also make a lot of sense now. I don't doubt they knew all about this for a long time.
Wild speculation. Sony is not betting the farm on this.
I agree with you, sony WAY ahead of their peers for phasing out OLED tech when OLED become the "It" tv for every consumer and tech enthusiast. Sony even brave enough to replaced their highly regarded OLED Master monitor with dual layered LCD Panel, and now their ditched OLED for their refined version of Mini LED this year in their coming flagship TV. But I think Sony will stick with Mini LED for 2025, but already making some prototypes of QDEL tech because Sharp Display and Sony is very close in alliance (they were part of Japan Display Inc)
@@bearclaw5115 But IMAGINE if they are lol
@@bearclaw5115 I won't deny that my post is wild speculation, lol.
QDEL!!!! If they make them in the same plants as LCD and scalable - hoping we see these as TVs by the end of the decade.
I'm hoping next year!😉
outstanding reporting. huge thanks!
WOW!! QDEL! I've heard rumors of this but I didn't think I'd ever see it. I thought it was more theoretical than fact. Love it that you were in a back room 'under wraps' seeing this. This your best CES news.
Fascinating. The demo device doesn't have very dark blacks, though. And it looks like it's not bright enough yet. But I guess that's just because they aren't pushing the tech hard yet.
NanoLEDis very exciting, can't wait to see it.
Although I would've much preferred if SED made its way to the market, to bad that never happened
Appreciate the effort given in your bringing us this news and of Sharp for being willing to let you report on it.
Thank you so much for all the work that you do and bring us we appreciate you so very much! Keep up the awesome job you do!🤗🙏🙂
No way this is real, I thought this technology was at least 8 years away. I'm sure it'll take a while before we see actual products to market but still, way to get back in to relevance Sharp!
Sharp deserves a pat on the back, as does Nanosys. The only thing preventing us from seeing it in products is someone buying it.
@@Caleb_Denison Bingo.
It is still years away. It would be nice to See if Nanosys has finally solved the stability issue of Heavy metal free blue Quantum Dots!
Honestly 8 years could still be the case if it goes the way OLED did. They didn't become close to affordable for probably about the same amount of time.
I am curious about QDEL but I have to wonder why the display captured in this video looks so bad? I mean I know you can't judge a recording being displayed on another device, but it looks really washed out and dim while similar recordings of OLEDs look incredible.
@@nonfungiblemushroom It took 5 yrs for OLED to really come around. Sony made a small demo display in 2008 but it took until 2013 for LG to actually introduce them for sale.
Yes, the demo device shown does look bad but that doesn't matter. It's just proof of concept and will likely take a few more years to be released in any commercial form.
QDEL sounds like a cool and interesting display technology. If Sony were to make QDEL TVs paired with their highly praised processing, it would be a dream TV. But, like with pretty much any new panel technology(OLED, QD-OLED, etc.), it'll probably end up being very expensive in the beginning.
THIS is the reason that SONY has hinted that OLED is nearly DEAD for them. As usual they are WAY ahead of the curve compared with LG and Samsung (one or both will be gone within three years) and its obvious Hisense and TCL are going to battle it out for "biggest and brightest AND mediocre" TVs. 100% guarantee SONY already have some sort of a deal with Sharp for this tech. SONY is already phasing out their current OLED line and by the end of this year they will be virtually gone at the HIGH end levels. You will see these TVs in 2025 for sure.
I agree with you, sony WAY ahead of their peers for phasing out OLED tech when OLED become the "It" tv for every consumer and tech enthusiast. Sony even brave enough to replaced their highly regarded OLED Master monitor with dual layered LCD Panel, and now their ditched OLED for their refined version of Mini LED this year in their coming flagship TV. But I think Sony will stick with Mini LED for 2025, but already making some prototypes of QDEL tech because Sharp Display and Sony is very close in alliance (they were part of Japan Display Inc)

Thank you for covering this. I've seen some cool CES vids on stuff that look like nice upgrades but this story is one that actually sounds innovative and interesting. I bought a LG oled TV not long ago and it's beautiful but I've held off on oled for my computer (currently have a cooler master Tempest mini led) because I need to have hours of static content on screen for my use cases. QDEL or Nanoled could be the upgrade I want in a year or two hopefully.
It's gonna be very interesting to where the display market will develop. QDEL was a completely new term to me. I only knew about Micro LED and PeLED, so thanks Caleb for your insights.
We want technology that is affordable for the masses, unlike OLED, which remains expensive even after 15 years in the commercial space.
True but oled did come down in price significantly since it came out and is getting significantly better every year. Qdel is definitely welcoming. I thought the future will be oled vs microled but this might bring another player. Although Microled and miniled is equally as expensive if not more expensive than oled currently.
U can get a a 55 inch oled for 1200 or a 1400 for a 65 in , that's less then an iPhone
@@jesusmarin95imagine implying that iphone is affordable
@jesusmarin95 If you look at the price history of the LG b2 55 inch it was often at $999 and even fell to $849 on black Friday.
Bs. Samsung QLED was more expensive back then in 2018 compared to same segment LG OLED... And miniLED costs about the same as the same segment LG OLED. So people thinking LCD is cheap, no it is not. LMAO.
Go Sharp! This is truly exciting. This must be almost as good as seeing the very first OLED from Sony or the very first Plasma screens.
Astonishing!!!
My first flat panel HDTV was a Sharp Quattron in the 40" size. I loved because it was like looking out a window into the world. Sharp needs to step up and manufacture HDTVs using this technology.
Awesome cutting edge reporting Caleb! very excited to see the possibilities QDEL has to offer over the next few years.
Anyone know the benefit of this over microLED? Color purity?
It's cheaper and can have any size and form, and ppi up to 10000.
-Well, Sharp was the first company really to offer consumer level LCD TV's to buy, so they pretty consistent...😉😎😋
Awesome and thanks for the information
Thank you!
Thumbs up Sharp
So what is theoretically better between this and MicroLED?
That's exactly what I was wondering too!
Electro Luminescent Quantum Dot Displays are basically the "End Game" of TV technology.
@kellyrickards7132 But why? How is it better than Micro-LED?
@@John.bww03 -QDEL is probably 20 times less power hungry than MicroLED, 20 times cheaper to make and infinite times less probable to develop any screen defects in 20 years period...😉
@@AaaAaa-ly3on You nailed it!
Self Emissive Quantum Dot Teechnology is the biigest thing I was hoping to see at CES this year as well and was really hoping that was what the teaser was about. I think this will be the "End-Game" display tech for screen based displays for the foreseeable future. The only thing that could be better would be in the future, multiple decades from now when we can have perfect 3D holographic displays that do not require a screen.
No such thing as Endgame display tech.
The whole point of technology is that it's supposed to keep improving. Not stay complacent.
There's always something better around the corner.
@@PSYCHOV3N0M He said for the foreseeable future. And he is correct because this tech solves all the problems with displays as we know them. You can't make anything simpler, brighter, more accurate, or cheaper (once they get it dialed). CRT's ruled the roost for 75 years and LCD's for 20. So, although displays can improve every year, the fundamental principles can remain the same for many years.
Woah! So cool to see this tech actually working. Would like to hear/see more of this. Hope that it will be coming soon to more tech. I would image the package would be much thinner than other display tech. Hopefully it won’t draw more power than other tech. Also, nice contrast of the empty background to show how last minute this was. Thanks team!
Now I can tell why you were so excited, Caleb! I have spent the last two days looking at new Digital Trends videos and wondering which one had you excited - I’m not wondering any more!
I remember watching a video on Linus about these displays 3 years ago, and what shook me the most is that this is, essentially, a neo-rebirth of Cathode Ray Tubes essentially making a much tinier and sharper lightbeam shoot its shot to the front glass without needing a giant ray gun on the back, this is going to be amazing, i am a massive CRT fan and i dailydrive a CRT Monitor on my desktop PC , i think QDEL is the real future of display and PC Gaming , OLED will never be able to counter the burn in produced by the PC O.S UI being there 24/7 , some may last you a year, some may last you 3 years, but that burn in is inevitable on organic components.
So is this thing more like a crt evolution?
Yes, this thing is closer to exciting the phosphors in a CRT than something like OLED. However, I'd avoid calling this some sort of comeback for CRT. This is still ultimately a fixed-pixel display, and won't really look like a CRT in the end.
Can the OLED last its full life before burn in becomes an issue. I have an OLED monitor now and the only safe guards i use is i have the task bar on hide and rotating wallpapers. Always let it do its scheduled pixel refreshes.
Thats it. Had it for 1 year 6 months now.
I hammer the display with 100s of hours of gameplay with the same UI. Still no signs of burn in. I use my computer mainly for multimedia and playing games.
If i get 3-5 years before burn in shows up i'll be happy. Hopefully they'll be a next gen display at that time.
The benefit is so great i can never go back.
I wouldn't recommend it for office use though. Having word docs or static content on the screen for 40+ hours a week is going to lead to burn in happening quicker.
@@richr161 3-5 years is awful for a monitor/display tech. That is E-Waste central.
OLEDs are not cheap enough to be treated as dispoable, easily replaceable things.
@@RicochetForce
At least for me its speculation. Any piece of tech can break at any time. So far i'm 1.5 years in with no signs of marks on my screen.
You just don't wake up one day and see a cooked image in the screen, Unless you have been watching something with the same HUD or UI for thousands of hours. Even then its hard unless you literally using an OLED for office use or commercial use like ad displays.
Its sort of a gradual effect that you notice when there is transitions or certain colors on the screen.
Im a tech head and i understand not everybody is going to be replacing their monitors every 5 years.
Generally there is a jump in quality every 3-5 years for a monitor. I generally want to replace it because i want to experience new tech.
Of course my old monitors don't go into the garbage. I pass them on to family members or you can sell them.
LG better jump in this ASAP. They got caught off guard with QD-OLED push, don’t wanna miss this golden opportunity.
LG and Samsung are caught in the middle of a FAR superior line of TVs (SONY) and the budget BRIGHTER and BIGGER crap that TCL and Hisense that sell at much cheaper price points. LG and Samsung are going to lose significant market share in the next two years and either one of both will DISAPPEAR.
@@steveludwig4200 Not at all. Samsung is the #1 largest tv maker in the world regardless of budget and LG is the #1 OLED tv maker in the world and the only real source for OLED display panels regardless of device implementation. They’re not going away any time soon, if ever.
@@steveludwig4200 Silly Sony fan boy. Sony does generally make the best displays and that's why I own several. But they are not night and day better than LG or Samsung's best efforts. Neither one is going to disappear. Samsung's display business is a tiny percentage of their total revenues. Probably true for LG as well.
This powerful discovery. Hope to see new products of this display technology soon in 2024. It's going to be amazing!
Great advancement! Thanks for sharing. 😊👍
Imagine a 📺 display combining QDEL and MicroLED? Man that would be a match made in heaven!!
Why on earth would you combine the two?
I think qdel is better than micro led. No need to combine!
@NickMartelli
It all depends on how bright quantum dots can get. As they are not organic they shouldn't degrade in the same way as OLED.
You had me at Self admission, quantum dot, how in the World are people not talking about this. This is the absolute Pinnacle of CES for me. Bro I almost teared up when I heard about this 😢
Emissive.
NOT admission.
QDEL isn't confessing anything. 😂
Extremely cool. Thanks Caleb.
This is Caleb as his absolute BEST! All jacked up on caffeine from Starbucks and talking at 100mph+ about future tech in Las Vegas. LOVE IT! (Seriously though, one of your absolute best videos to date.) Love the idea of QDEL and can't wait to see what it brings. Hopefully this tech gets fast-tracked into production here soon and we start to see new products based on it in the next year or two. Can't wait!
-FINALLY some TRULY GREAT NEWS!! -Long lasting, no IR or Burn-In, 100% color accurate, extremely low power consumption, even now looks like bright enough for dark environment, cheap to manufacture in limitless quantities... Just make it 65 inches with any 3D tech and boost brightness a bit and it would be perfect for me!😍
-i always had a great respect for SHARP CORPORATION!..😎
At last a new display technology that gives us the performance without the drawbacks of LED based panels.
It can only be a matter of time before we see larger screens available with QDEL.
Perhaps the wiser buyers will give 2024 models a miss and wait and see what happens.
From what was said in this video, I’d say it will be 5 years or more before we see this technology appear in TV’s. It will need to be matured and scaled up first. I wouldn’t put off buying a nice OLED while waiting for this, could be a long wait.
I can wait, i still have a Pioneer Kuro Plasma that provides a great picture plus a home
cineam room with a 4K projector.
As for OLED, no thanks i want a new TV that will last as long as my Plasma@@bk99911
@Barbarapape
Hi . Do you have burn on your plasma?
No burn at all, i only use it to watch laserdiscs and dvd's, never any content that
has a static image.@@ismiismael
great news! Thank you!
Fantastic, looking to see how this specific display technology develops!
WOLED technology is very mature, more so for LCD televisions. QD-OLED is the new kid on the block, but QDEL ‘could’ be the Holy Grail of technology.
I’m pleased Sharp is back and producing new technological ideas. Should give the rest a run for its money.
No such thing as holy grail.
There's always something better around the corner.
The whole point of technology is that it's supposed to keep improving. Not stay complacent.
TV technology keeps getting better as the stuff to watch on it keeps getting worse 🤭
I learned so much in this video 👍
CRT and Plasma brought to the level of perfection. Can't wait.
Nice work Caleb!
I appreciate the thorough details comparing how this technology is better than the other options for displays. I hope this becomes available soon as I'm pretty excited for it.
Great work.
I love competition
I too was waiting to see the first Quantum-Dot electro-luminescent
WOW!! That’s a great News!! The ultimate display technology
Always preferred the lesser known J brands to Sony (Panasonic, Sharp, etc). *REAL INNOVATION!* 😊
Freaking Awesome! It's really exciting stuff, for sure!
Awesome news, more choice and more competition!
