OLED technology and popular QLED quantum dots could gain a serious competitor in the future. Korean companies SK Materials JNC and SN Display are partnering to prepare mass production of perovskites. These are materials that could enable an even wider color gamut in TVs and monitors.
Perovskites are set to leave the labs
SK Materials JNC signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with startup SN Display to develop a system for serial production of perovskite nanocrystals. The companies want to move the technology from the research stage to the production of materials that can be used in commercial displays. SN Display, a startup founded by Professor Tae‑Woo Lee of Seoul National University, is responsible for supplying the nanocrystal synthesis technology. SK Materials JNC will contribute its experience in producing materials for OLED displays, quality control, and organizing industrial processes.
What can perovskites change in TVs?
The biggest advantage of perovskites is high color purity and luminous efficiency. These materials can emit light in a very narrow wavelength range, which allows for more saturated colors. This makes them suitable for color conversion layers and for future self-emissive displays.
SN Display has already received a CES 2026 Innovation Award for a perovskite-based color conversion film. According to the company, the solution achieves over 95% coverage of the BT.2020 color space, the standard that defines the very wide color gamut for Ultra HD images.
However, this does not mean that TVs using the new material will appear in stores soon. The signed agreement only covers preparing mass production, and the companies have not provided a commercialization timeline. Ensuring sufficient material durability and operational stability remains a challenge. For now, this is another step in the technology's development, not an announcement of specific TV models.
