"In order to boost consumer value in the LCD TV market, 4K ultra-high-definition (UHD) enhanced-color LCD TVs using quantum dot technology will become available in 2015, with 1.3 million shipping worldwide," DisplaySearch (www.displaysearch.com) said, adding that shipments of QDOT TVs are expected to grow to 18.7 million three years later.
It forecast that QDOT TV shipments will jump to 5 million in 2016 and 12 million in 2017.
“While LCD technology undisputedly dominates the TV scene, manufacturers continue to innovate in order to bring additional value to consumers,” Paul Gray, director of European research at DisplaySearch, said. “The launch of new 4K UHD services promises to foment another round of innovation, as content creators bring richer, deeper colors to their art."
