In a recent announcement on the internal bulletin board (via BusinessKorea), Samsung Display announced that its new QD-OLED panel yield has reached 75%. For Samsung, it is pretty unusual to disclose its panel production yield, but there could be a good motive behind this move.
Notably, with this move, Samsung might be looking to boil down the controversy surrounding the QD-OLED panel yield. The company even praised its employees for their hard work, and also motivated them to double their efforts to boost the yield to 90% or higher in the future. The QD-OLED panel production started in late 2021, and Samsung currently processes 30,000 sheets of QD-OLED panels per month.
Its major clients include Dell, while Samsung Display is currently in talks with brands like ASUS, Lenovo, and HP. Samsung also supplies them to its TV panel customers, such as Samsung Electronics and Sony. Samsung recently launched its first QD-OLED TV, the S95B, back in March.
Many industry experts think that products loaded with Samsung's QD-OLED panels aren't good enough to be recommended since these panels do not produce the blacks properly. In fact, foreign media outlets have also termed that Samsung's QD-OLED panels' color reproduction isn't accurate enough.
All these talks created concern in the minds of Samsung employees about the profitability of the QD-OLED panels. This is the reason Samsung produced the yield report to address these concerns.
