MSI is set to release a new QD-OLED monitor, the MEG 324C. This will use a 34" curved 75Hz 3440x1440 QD-OLED, the only QD-OLED in production right now.

We do not have more details, as MSI did not officially launch the new monitor yet, but it demonstrated it at Computex 2022.

Here's a nice video from Insight Media, showing Nanosys' booth and technologies at DisplayWeek 2022.

You can see several QD-ehhanced LCDs, a prototype microLED microdisplay by glo (which Nanosys recently acquired), and a side-by-side comparison of Samsung's QD-OLEDs and LG's WOLED TVs. You can also see the new xQDEF laminate films developed with Bready.

BOE Technology Group unveiled a 55" 8K AMQLED device, which is said to be the world's first such display. The display is based on QD emitters, and uses an active-matrix Oxide-TFT backplane.

BOE says that all functional layers, except the cathode, were deposited using inkjet printing.

Samsung reports its financial results for Q2 2022. The company says that its QD OLED monitor displays were "well received in the market", and the company is raising its expectations for the QD TVs which will be released in Q3.

Samsung further says it is stabilizing the production yields of its QD displays.

QD developer Nanosys announced a partnership with functional polymeric film developer Nanjing Bready Advanced Materials Technology. The two companies started mass producing the world’s first line of completely air-stable, barrier-free, laminated quantum dot film components.

Nanosys says that the new xQDEF laminate film offers high quality QD color and brightness - in a lower-cost package. Nanosys hopes that the new film will unlock new markets for QD displays. Tier-one consumer electronics brands including Hisense, TCL and Vizio are expected to launch display products based on the new components in H2 2022.

Samsung Display announced that it has managed to increase its QD-OLED production yields to 75%. Previously it was estimated that its yields are around 30-50%.

According to the report, SDC's employees are not optimistic regarding its QD-OLED competitiveness with LG's WOLED and RGB OLED structures - and not just because of the low production yields. Initial reviews of the QD-OLED panels say that the contrast is now as high as other OLED displays with ambient lighting, and there are color issues due to the unique pixel arrangement. It is estimated that even with increase production yields, SDC will refrain from further QD-OLED investments until it will see market reaction.

Researchers from Japan's Hiroshima University developed a new technique to create efficient silicon quantum dots from recycled rice husks. Rice husk is a good source of high-purity silica (SiO₂) and silicon powder.

The researchers created SiQDs that luminescence in the orange-red range with a high luminescence efficiency of over 20%. From the QDs the researchers created LEDs based on ITO glass substrates, using spin-coating to process the SiQDs.

The first reviews of Samsung's QD-OLED panels are in, as Dell starts shipping its QD-OLED gaming monitor. A German magazine reviewed the 34" monitor, and discovered an issue with color inaccuracies.

As you can see in the macro photo above, when there's a change from a dark color to a bright color, the display shows green lines that should not be there.

Corning announced that Samsung Display has selected the company's Astra Glass for its QD-OLED display panels. The QD-OLED panel substrate is one sheet of glass, while another is used in the process, likely to cover the display.

Corning says that its Astra Glass provides the "optimal blend of attributes" critical for the intricate and high-temperature QD manufacturing process.
