#LCD manufacturers have regarded #8K #TVs as the catalyst needed to kick-start a wave of TV replacement as well as a sort of leverage against #WOLED technology, but two recent incidents have cast a shadow of doubt over the push for 8K adoption in 2020.
First, Tokyo 2020, the premier event signaling the start of 8k broadcast, was delayed due to #COVID19, dampening 8K talks. Second, #SDC , the most proactive 8K #panel supplier, will end its LCD business in 2020, removing a major source of panel supply.
Although #Sharp, with its #IGZO technology, seems primed to be a major force in the push for 8K TVs, We still holds a conservative outlook towards the market share of 8K TVs in 2020, projected at a mere 0.2%, for the reasons mentioned previously.
