The working prototype on display is a 4K TV from 55 “, with an AMQLED active pixel panel obtained by ink molding -jet. Compared to OLED technologies, the use of inorganic materials should ensure a longer life, while still maintaining the advantages of deep blacks, high contrast ratio and very large gamut triangle.

“ Trademarks such as Samsung , TCL and Hisense have ruined the good name of QLED technology “: those from FlatpanelsHD are not very subtle. “ They have sold traditional LCD panels as QLED, but perhaps one day that acronym will recover its traditional meaning “. On closer inspection they are not all wrong: currently the televisions called QLED are classic LCD to which a layer of nanomaterials is added) which converts the broad spectrum output of the backlight into tighter peaks for purer colors. The technology works well, but what FlatpanelsHD disputes is the fact that originally the term QLED referred to active pixel technologies and not simply to the overlay of color filters.
The long introduction to talk about the latest technological innovation of the Chinese manufacturer BOE , very active in the supply of panels for TVs and smartphones. To give you an idea of the company’s caliber, it is among Huawei’s suppliers for the AMOLED panels of the Chinese brand, as well as the high-end panels of Hisense TVs. BOE has also tried to break into Apple and Samsung, but as we told you in the recent news, its AMOLED panels were rejected at 120 Hz.
AMQLED: quantum dot and active pixels
BOE has extensive experience in active matrix panels, including flexible OLEDs, but has recently exhibited a new and interesting inorganic technology called (precisely so as not to confuse it with that of the current passive QLEDs) AMQLED . The Chinese manufacturer showed a working prototype of what is about to be one of the most important technologies of the next few years.
The technology features self-illuminating pixels in which quantum dots emit light when stimulated by electric current . Compared to OLED technologies, the use of inorganic materials should guarantee a longer life, while still maintaining the advantages of deep blacks, high contrast ratio and very extended gamut triangle. The data speak of 119% of the NSTC gamut triangle and contrast 1. 000. 000: 1.
The working prototype on display is a 4K TV from 55 “, with panel obtained by ink-jet molding.
