Lots of oems will use LG display, that's great.

I just want to see JDI and JOLED merge to create inkjet printed TADF STE RGB 4K smartphone panels, that will really bring in good funding.

      "...flexible panels are typically used to achieve curved edges on the screen," so they're going to copy the Galaxy line now, interesting; and a foldable phone too just like the Galaxy X.

        And we are lucky for that, that they made it to this point and that we are still on track to see these hit mobiles and others period.
        Less reliance on rare materials, much longer life span "especially in blue", like double the brightness at same power draw...thats incredible..

          Sony hits a very good mark though

              You really might want to grab onto whatever thread of reality you still can before its too late.

Its only when they go inkjet with STE (Super Top Emission), CAAC-IGZO (cheaper and same performance as LTPS) and other advanced technologies will they start eating Samsung's market share. JOLED is already mass producing inkjet printed OLEDs but with only some of the advanced OLED technologies and only for 21.6" monitors. Its pissing me off why JDI can't act quick to find funding so that they can merge with or acquire JOLED to speed up adoption of inkjet for smartphone panel production.

                  Anonymous, 31 Jan 2018Sorry. I was talking about facts and reality. All those dis... moreYou did not tell me the single fact why those display are better. All you told me is that you don't notice color shifts and flickering. Just like you probably were not bothered with flicker of 48Mhz CRT screens as well, but that's ok majority of the people were not bothered with it. On the other hand I couldn't stare at CRT unless it had a refresh rate of at least 80Mhz.

                  And those Samsung screens are absolutely the worst oversaturated, inaccurate and stained.

And Sony's are far from perfection and lacking any shifts or high color points themselves. None of them are perfect.
                        You should come join me in reality. Everything is not exactly 100% the way you want it to be. But its real. And it would help you get along with others outside of your own little world a little bit.

They constantly shift white color into blue or yellow even on the slightest variation of angle and they all have yellow staining on whites if brightness is not on proper level.

                                  When their advanced oled is finally released it will bee amazing and give everyone a run for their money. Its fantastic. But again. When they do.

                                    Should ve Sony users enjoy Sam Oled qualities instead, like iphone X users?

                                      AnonD-357480, 30 Jan 2018Because lg is the global leader in oled panels. They are the leader in sales, not quality. JDI and Sharp panels are much better and would differentiate Xperia phones, why opt for something like LG OLED panels that will make it worse than competition (Samsung)?
