June 9, 2026
Introduction
As OLED expands beyond the smartphone market into IT devices and automotive display applications, OLED panel structures and emitting material sets are changing rapidly. OLED image quality characteristics are partly derived from panel structure, but its intrinsic characteristics are determined by the performance of the emitting materials themselves.
The greatest advantage of RGB mini-LED LCD, which has recently emerged as a major topic in the display market, is its color performance, enabling a wide color gamut that meets BT.2020. To secure an early lead in the emerging BT.2020 era, OLED panels based on new material sets capable of dominating the smartphone, IT device, and TV markets are undergoing technology development and mass-production validation, while preparing for market launch.
The “2026 OLED Emitting Material Report” summarizes color gamut competition by OLED product category and technology roadmaps by panel maker in preparation for the BT.2020 era, and analyzes changes in the structures of OLED panels for smartphones, IT devices, and TVs, as well as the direction of emitting material adoption.
In addition, next-generation emitting material technologies such as PSF, TADF, hyperfluorescence, blue phosphorescence, deuterium substitution, and boron-based blue dopants are classified and summarized from the perspectives of efficiency, lifetime, and color coordinate improvement. The report also analyzes the development directions of major emitting material companies and the supply chain expansion movements of Chinese material companies.
