LG Display, fresh off its first profitable year in four years, is preparing to step up investment in 2026 as it seeks to strengthen its position in the increasingly competitive OLED market. Despite that, the company is proceeding cautiously on one of the industry's most closely watched questions: whether and when to commit to large-scale production of next-generation OLED panels for IT devices.

Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics unveiled new RGB Mini-LED televisions at the CES 2026 trade show, signaling a strategic bet on refined LCD backlighting to shore up their TV strategies.

Ennostar, Taiwan's largest LED manufacturer, said it has entered a strategic partnership with the German epitaxy specialist Allos Semiconductors to bring 8-inch gallium nitride–on–silicon (GaN-on-Si) LED epitaxial wafers into mass production. The collaboration is aimed at accelerating the adoption of microLED displays in highly integrated applications such as augmented reality, while laying the groundwork for a future transition to 12-inch GaN-on-Si technology.

Sony's decision to form a TV joint venture with TCL is being read in South Korea less as a routine corporate reshuffle than as a structural challenge to the country's long-held dominance in premium TVs and OLED panels. The deal has triggered unease not only about Sony's future role in TVs, but about whether Samsung Electronics can continue to dictate the industry's technological and competitive agenda.
