- OLED panel costs have fallen in almost half in five years
- Prices are expected to fall more in 2026
- Savings are likely to be quite modest
Either LCD, OLED or RGB directed, each new type of television technology begins its life with absolutely full of water prices. The good news is that these prices fall over time, and for OLED televisions they have been falling considerably in the last five years, and will continue to fall during the next year.
According to industry sources informed by Flatpanelshd, the cost of a 65 -inch OLED panel of the LG screen was $ 1,000 in 2020. That fell to $ 600 in 2024, and it is expected to fall below $ 500 before the end of 2025. More reductions are expected in 2026.
And, of course, they are not just 65 -inch OLED panels; They are panels of all sizes, including the largest, with a 77 -inch and 83 -inch panel cost that fall significantly in the last year or so.
That is the good news. The bad news is that the really great savings will probably not happen to us. Or at least, not all will do it because exhibition companies need to recover their initial and continuous investments in people, production lines and premises.
Why OLED TVs are becoming cheaper to manufacture
Moving to a new type of TV panel is not cheap. Manufacturers have to invest in new machinery, often in new factories to put that machinery. They need to train their people, and need to improve production efficiency to offer greater yields and less waste. In short, they need to spend a ton of money in advance.
Over time, that money begins to refund. As the Korean newspaper Biz Chosun explains, for LG exhibition, line expansions and the improvement of yields are an effort “that began to bear fruit last year”, achieving a 30% reduction in production costs. “Next year, the company points to additional cost cuts through a design innovation that changes the structure of the screen driver,” says the report.
Biz Chosun also says that the fall in production costs could avoid the existential threat of RGB, so -called Oled Killer, in the pass. “The cost of LED chips that make up the RGB LED backight accounts for most of the unit panel price,” said its source of industry. “When it includes the background light and driver costs, it is effectively estimated at the level of $ 400- $ 600, similar to the production costs of the OLED panel, and could even be more expensive.”
