Key points:
Japanese TV station, NHK intends to provide better Super HD 8K4K picture quality and ultra-high color gamut than 4K for the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. BT2020 will leave the world with the most clear and profound impression of the famous people.
Major TV manufacturers such as Sony, Panasonic, Samsung and Hisense are all ready to provide a full version of the 8K flagship TV by the end of 2018 or early 2019. Meanwhile, 8K content is expected to be used in various memorable historical programs in the future, such as the Olympics. World Cup football, NBA playoffs, etc.
In order to smoothly put 8K panels before 2020, in 2017, TV panel makers have been working with all panel component manufacturers, such as ICs, quantum dots, optical films, and machine manufacturers, to develop 8K display panels.
According to IHS Markit’s “Quarterly Large Area Product Roadmap Tracker” report, 8K displays have recently become very popular, mainly because the two companies in the future have already developed screen driver boards and 8K TV chips for 8K display panels. To do image upgrades. Earlier in 2016, several panel makers started to develop 8K display panels. However, due to the lack of mature materials and components, 8K display panels produced at that time had a lot of problems. But this year with 8K screen drivers Boards and 8K TV chips allow panel makers, TV stations, and brand manufacturers to expect more from 8K. Currently, system chip makers such as Morningstar, MediaTek, and Hassig have stepped up their efforts to develop 8K system chips. On the other hand, Sharp recently provided 70's. AQUOS 8K TV has already started selling in the first quarter of this year, which has forced other TV brands to become tighter, otherwise it is equivalent to high-end products that are incompetent.
The following is a blueprint for the amount of time and technology trends for each panel factory of 8K4K:
The above figure has indicated the frame rate, because sports events require motion-blurred image display, so the need for high-Hz, so 120 Hz is the basic specifications. In view of 8K is used in flagship models, IHS Markit expects the future 8K display panel must match Ultra high color gamut of BT2020 and 120 Hz.
