Analysis of market competition between LED display screens, LCDs and OLEDs
In today’s display technology market, three technologies: LED display, LCD (liquid crystal display) and OLED (organic light emitting diode) dominate. With the continuous development of digital advertising, smart display and commercial applications, the competition among various display technologies is becoming increasingly fierce. This article will conduct an in-depth analysis of the market competition between LED displays and LCDs and OLEDs from the aspects of technical characteristics, market applications, advantages and disadvantages, and future development trends, so as to help consumers, enterprises and investors make wise choices.
1. Technology comparison: core features of LED, LCD, OLED
a. LED display (Light Emitting Diode Display)
LED display screens are self-luminous display systems composed of light emitting diodes (LEDs), which are mainly divided into small-pitch LEDs, micro-pitch LEDs and transparent LEDs. It has high brightness, bright colors and no seams, and is suitable for outdoor advertising, sports venues, performing arts stages, commercial displays and conference rooms. What is a fine pitch LED display?
b. LCD display (Liquid Crystal Display)
LCD is a backlight display technology that uses liquid crystal materials to adjust light transmission and realize imaging. LCD screens are widely used in TVs, computers, mobile phones, monitors and commercial displays, with low cost and high maturity as their main advantages. Here is a comparison of LCD, LED and OLED displays.
c. OLED display (Organic Light Emitting Diode)
OLED is an organic light emitting display technology. Each pixel is self-luminous and does not require a backlight source, which can achieve ultra-thin, flexible and highly contrasted display effects. OLED screens are mainly used in high-end smartphones, flat panels, smart TVs, wearable devices and other fields. 8 aspects explain which OLED or LCD screen is better?
1. Market application areas and competition analysis
a. Outdoor large-screen advertising market: LED vs LCD vs OLED
LED display: With its high brightness, waterproof and dustproof, and UV resistance, it dominates the outdoor advertising market, such as shopping mall billboards, sports venues, landmarks, etc.
LCD display: rarely used in outdoor advertising because of its low brightness and great influence from ambient light.
OLED display: OLED is less used outdoors, because it has a short service life and is susceptible to humidity, and is not suitable for large-size and all-weather working scenarios.
Market competition results: LED displays have an absolute advantage, and LCDs and OLEDs are difficult to compete.
b. Indoor commercial display market: LED vs LCD vs OLED
LED small-pitch screen: With the maturity of micro-pitch LEDs such as P1.2 and P0.9, LEDs occupy a place in high-end conference rooms, exhibition halls, broadcast studios and other scenarios. Introduce you P1.2 indoor LED display: price, technology and application.
LCD splicing screen: LCD is still the main choice for commercial display, monitoring system and education markets with low cost and high-definition image quality.
OLED commercial display: OLED has major applications in high-end retail, exhibition halls and smart homes, but it is expensive and durable.
Market competition results: LED small-pitch screens are squeezing the LCD market, and OLEDs are mainly aimed at the high-end market.
c. TV and consumer electronics market: LED vs LCD vs OLED
LCD TV: Currently, mainstream TVs are still a combination of LCD+LED backlighting. Due to their low cost and mature technology, they occupy the mid- and low-end market.
OLED TV: OLED dominates the high-end TV market (such as Sony and LG flagship series) due to its high contrast, wide viewing angle and lightness, but it is expensive.
LED display: Due to the high cost, LED displays cannot enter the consumer-grade TV market for the time being, but Micro LED technology is expected to break this situation in the future. Let you know about Micro LED.
Market competition results: LCD still occupies the mainstream market, OLED occupies the high-end market, and LED displays still have room for development in the home market.
4. Future development trends and market prospects
LED display: Small pitch and Micro LED technology rise
Small-pitch LEDs (P0.9 and below) are constantly eroding the LCD market and are gradually being used in high-end commercial displays, conference rooms, cinemas and other fields.
Micro LED is expected to enter the consumer electronics market, such as TV, AR/VR, but cost is still a key obstacle at present.
LCD: Technology is mature but market share gradually declines
Driven by Mini LED backlight technology, LCDs have improved in display quality, but their market share is still facing the impact of LEDs and OLEDs.
In the low-end market, LCDs are still the mainstream choice, but are squeezed by OLED and LED displays in the high-end market.
OLED: The high-end market continues to grow, but costs remain a key challenge
OLED has an advantage in the high-end TV and smartphone markets, and the rise of folding screens and flexible screens has driven the growth of OLED demand.
However, OLED still has problems such as short life, burning screens and high prices, and it is difficult to replace LCD and LED displays in the short term.
5. Summary: Who will dominate the future market?
Outdoor large-screen advertising market: LED displays are irreplaceable and have an absolute advantage.
Commercial display market: LED small-pitch screens are growing rapidly, gradually replacing LCD splicing screens.
Consumer Electronics Market: OLED occupies the high-end market, LCD is still the mainstream, and Micro LED may become a changer in the future.
Final conclusion: LED displays dominate the outdoor advertising and commercial display markets, LCD still has room for survival in the low-end consumer market, while OLED performs superiorly in the high-end market, but the cost is still a challenge.
In the future, emerging technologies such as Micro LED, Mini LED and transparent LED will continue to promote market changes. Enterprises should pay attention to technological progress and grasp industry trends to cope with the ever-changing market competition landscape.
