Japanese tech giant Sharp will join OLED TV producers this year. According to the information received, the first Sharp TVs with OLED panels will be introduced in Japan on February 26. Sales will begin in the first half of the year.
The company says it will use OLED panels produced by LG Display. The starting price of televisions is about $2,750. We don’t know if the product will only be distributed in the Japanese market or all markets. American Vizio and China’s Xiaomi also announced plans to broadcast OLED TV in 2020.
Instead, Japanese tech giant Sharp focused on LCD TVs and focused on 8K, which is about 10-20% more expensive for the top tier than the Ultra HD OLED.
Chung Ho-young, president of LG Display, announced that he would stop producing LCD TV panels in Korea and aimed to double sales of OLED panels this year.
