At CES, QDEL was the buzzword on everyone’s mind. Short for Quantum Dot Electroluminescent, this display tech uses quantum dots to create light directly, offering OLED-like performance without drawbacks like burn-in or limited lifespan. Despite initial concerns about seeing progress, a prototype emerged, tucked away at TCL CSOT’s booth—a promising sign of development. QDEL offers potential for vibrant, cost-effective displays with better longevity and heat resistance, potentially revolutionizing TV tech. While OLED advances like brighter panels are impressive, QDEL’s affordability and scalability could disrupt LCD’s dominance. Stay tuned as more updates, perhaps at Display Week, might reveal its full potential.
