Over the past decade, TV products have made a lasting impression on consumers through their traditional "panel + base" design. However, as China's middle class has grown in both numbers and influence, these conventional, unexciting TVs have struggled to meet the expectations of more discerning, elite consumers. Fortunately, in August 2013, OLED TVs—recognized as the next generation of display technology—were officially launched in China. Since then, OLED TVs have experienced rapid development, thanks to their innovative designs and superior image quality, which have captured the attention of the middle class.
Why has the middle class become so obsessed with OLED TVs? One key reason is that OLED technology represents not just a product, but a lifestyle upgrade. In early 2017, Sony’s A1 OLED TV became an instant hit. It was the first TV to eliminate the pedestal and speakers entirely, offering a sleek, minimalist look that stunned the market. With its ability to produce sound directly from the screen and deliver immersive audio-visual experiences, it attracted not only high-end consumers but also avid gamers.
Another groundbreaking model was LG’s Signature OLED W7, which looked like a piece of artwork hanging on the wall. Its flexible, ultra-thin design allowed it to be mounted like wallpaper, completely redefining how people perceive television. This innovation opened up new possibilities for home entertainment and interior design.
OLED technology is rare and offers features that traditional TVs can't match—whether it's perfect picture quality, thin form factors, or unique design concepts. It’s clear that OLED is shaping the future of display technology, and its self-lit pixels give it a significant advantage over other technologies.
For Chinese TV manufacturers, this shift presents a major opportunity. Unlike the LCD era, where they were often at a disadvantage, many Chinese brands are now leading the way in OLED innovation. Companies like Skyworth, Changhong, and Konka have quickly adopted OLED technology, launching models that compete with global giants like Sony and LG.
In 2018, more brands are expected to enter the OLED market, with several Chinese manufacturers planning to launch their own OLED TVs. This trend is likely to accelerate, making OLED TVs increasingly popular among high-end consumers. During the recent National Day holiday, OLED TV sales surged by 145%, showing strong demand.
As OLED TVs continue to evolve, they’re not just changing how we watch TV—they’re reshaping our lifestyles. Whether it's screen-sound technology, wallpaper-like designs, or stunning visuals, OLED is setting a new standard in home entertainment.
