In today's market, TVs come in all shapes and sizes, with brands constantly introducing new technologies like LED, OLED, Quantum Dot, and Nano Color. When it comes to 4K TVs, the differences between top brands' displays are minimal, making color quality a critical deciding factor for many buyers. To clarify, LED/QLED and Quantum Dot TVs fall under the LCD category, while OLED TVs are self-lit organic panels. Interestingly, OLEDs don't currently hold an edge over high-gamut LCDs when it comes to color reproduction. For instance, quantum dot TVs can achieve a color gamut of up to NTSC 110%, whereas OLEDs typically cap out around NTSC 100%.
LCD TVs with advanced color technologies such as Quantum Dot and Nano Color are gaining popularity. Quantum Dot technology enhances the color gamut by adding a quantum dot layer to the backlight system. Recently, Nano Color technology has emerged as another cutting-edge approach. Unlike Quantum Dot TVs, Nano Color moves the nanomaterial layer from the backlight to the screen surface, achieving similar high-color gamut results.
Nano Color technology uses ultra-fine nano-optical materials, which differ from standard quantum dots. While typical quantum dots measure between 2 to 7 nanometers, Nano Color employs a consistent material with diameters of just 1 to 2 nanometers, leading to superior color enhancement properties.
One standout feature of Nano Color is its ability to maintain high color gamut performance across a wide viewing angle. Most high-color gamut displays tend to lose their vibrancy when viewed from the sides, often causing color distortion. Nano Color, however, ensures rich and pure colors even at a 180-degree viewing angle, offering an immersive experience regardless of where you sit.
As of now, LeTV Super TV's Unique65 and Unique55 models are among the first to adopt IPS Nano Color technology. These TVs provide an unparalleled large-screen color experience. Beyond the innovative color technology, these models also include a vibrant engine that recovers lost colors during video compression and transmission. Additionally, the tuning was done by Hollywood's Dolby Laboratories, earning certification for Dolby Vision, which signifies the highest dynamic range available. This combination makes the Unique65 and Unique55 some of the best TVs in the 55-65 inch range.
When comparing Quantum Dot (QLED) and OLED TVs, there are notable distinctions. Quantum Dot TVs, powered by photoluminescence, can achieve high brightness through enhanced LED backlighting, although they remain fundamentally LCD-based. OLED TVs come in two types: RGB OLED and White OLED. RGB OLED struggles with scalability due to production challenges, while White OLED dominates the current market.
However, OLED faces issues with organic material degradation over time, especially when maintaining high brightness levels for extended periods. This leads to shorter lifespans and higher costs compared to Quantum Dot TVs. QLEDs, using inorganic materials, boast longer lifespans—TCL’s quantum dot materials last up to 60,000 hours, compared to OLED’s 30,000 hours.
Quantum Dot technology also excels in color performance, offering a wider color gamut and purer colors. Without increasing the CF film thickness, the color gamut can reach up to 157% of BT708 standards, ensuring richer and more accurate color representation. Furthermore, the technology improves energy efficiency by boosting brightness while reducing power consumption, increasing luminosity by 30-40%.
Quantum dots are not just limited to displays; they hold vast potential in biotechnology, lighting, food testing, and solar cells. The Ministry of Science and Technology’s Thirteenth Five-Year Plan has prioritized quantum dot printing displays as a key technology. Electroluminescent quantum dot research is ongoing, and if successful, could revolutionize TV design by enabling flexible screens.
