As you can see from the data, MiniLED TVs are expected to get more and more popular. While OLED TV shipments are also expected to grow, MiniLED TV shipments are predicted to grow exponentially and achieve a figure more than three times bigger than its competitor.
Currently, the MiniLED TV market is led by Samsung Electronics, TCL, and Hisense, While the OLED TV market is led by LG,
Samsung
, and
Sony
. The Elec notes that TV shipments from Samsung Electronics (which contributes to both of the technologies) will play a crucial role in shaping the future market share. MiniLED TVs such as the
TCL C12H series
or the Terrace TV from Samsung Electronics can offer higher contrast and improved brightness, thanks to their smaller diodes.
