Samsung said it would shut down all its LCD screen production lines in South Korea and China by the end of this year, and Samsung has completely abandoned LCD production. After these factories free up production capacity, Samsung will turn to QD-OLED quantum dot display screen (a mixture of quantum dot and OLED) and OLED display screen with higher product positioning and greater profit. Last year Panasonic decided to stop LCD production by 2021. Earlier this year, LG display also announced that it would stop LCD screen production in China by the end of 2020. Thus, does it mean LCD reach the end of its lifespan?
In recent years, there has been a serious overcapacity in LCD screen market. The profit that can be earned has been reduced a lot. For Samsung, LG, Panasonic and other manufacturers, rather than continue to expand LCD production capacity, it is better to make use of the technological advantages accumulated through years of research and development to turn to the more advanced OLED market in an all-round way.
Because the principle of OLED screen is pixel self illumination, there is no need for LCD backlight. This means OLED can be made lighter and thinner, and can also be made into curved surface easily. If the substrate is replaced with plastic, the screen can be bent freely. Folding screen equipment and scroll TV are all equipment developed by utilizing the soft characteristics of OLED. Moreover, OLED does not have backlight, so it is easier to achieve HDR effect.
Since OLED is so good, why do computer screens and most TVs still use LCD screens? Cheap and durable, which is the advantage of LCD. The life of OLED is shorter than that of inorganic backlight because of the different life of red, green and blue organic light-emitting materials. With the use of time, the blue pixels will gradually dim, resulting in serious red screen problems.

From a technical point of view, LCD has indeed reached the edge of being replaced. But from an industrial point of view, LCD will not die suddenly.
