Samsung to stop LCD production - Focuses on quantum dot OLEDs
In the future, Samsung Display will no longer manufacture LCD panels for monitors, production will be discontinued from the end of 2020. There are currently two LCD factories in China and two plants in South Korea for such panels, according to Reuters, one of the latter two is to be converted into a Fab for displays with quantum dot OLEDs.
The output of LC sheets, which are then separated into panels, has already been reduced, reports Golem; According to Samsung Display, however, the demand is met: "All customers will have the LCDs they ordered delivered by the end of the year without any problems," said the manufacturer. Samsung Display is currently primarily producing LC panels with a quantum dot coating; the South Koreans speak of QLED. This technology is used in our own TVs and PC monitors.
What sounds like OLED is full-area LED backlighting with a quantum dot layer, i.e. a liquid crystal display (LCD). Samsung was therefore criticized for the QLED marketing term because it is not an electroluminescent emitting quantum dot. In the future, however, the focus will be on QDOLEDs: With quantum dot OLEDs, organic instead of inorganic light-emitting diodes are used for the backlighting, usually the blue variants. More than one stack is conceivable for a higher light density, Samsung Display has not commented on this.
The quantum dot layer, also referred to as QDCC (Quantum Dot Color Converter), then serves as an RGB filter. Unlike an LED, an OLED backlight can be controlled more precisely, which results in better colors and black levels. In order to be able to produce enough QDOLEDs, Samsung Display announced in October 2019 that it would invest almost $ 11 billion in corresponding production lines.

oleds dont really need anti glare coating, as they do much better even with direct light shining at them.
As someone who owns a OLED TV with direct light shining on it most of the day - I strongly disagree with this statement.
That's my TV at maximum brightness during the day WITH anti-glare coating that LG puts on all it's TVs. The Samsung 55" LED I had before it (which has twice the ABL) fared drastically better. If your argument is "OLED at X brightness is better than LCD at X brightness" then maybe - but OLED, especially in TVs/Monitors comes no where near the brightness levels of LCD/LED. If you're comparing phones then I still don't agree because if you read through the various displaymate reviews you can see the manufacturers of OLED panels & companies integrating the panels do lots of work to reduce glare.

not really, i mean the "QLED" branded displays that samsung makes are an intermediate to true QD (samsung "qled" is an lcd with a qd enchancement layer) so it kinda makes sense they would end qled once they have proper QD displays in production (samsung calls these "qd-led") since you save manufacturing complexity( In theory) since it they dont need backlights.
Wow, this really is a shock. So Samsung admits their QLEDs defeat.

with HDR making screens so damn bright i wonder if AH3 coatings are still soo badly needed, they could at least make it optional, i had to stop using a 24" glossy TN monitor next to a 34" IPS ultrawide because of how bad it looks next to it
and yet look at phone screens since 2014 or so, they can outshine the sun, perfect blacks & contrast, colors popping, no blur, no ghosting, even finger oil isnt enough to make them look bad. why cant we scale that up to monitor sizes? burn in? ffs, there are countless advantages going against that single "issue"
