Wide color gamut displays to comprise 17% of display shipment area in 2018
Shipment area of wide color gamut (WCG) displays is expected to reach 32 million square meters in 2018, which represents 17 percent of total display shipment area, according to IHS Inc. (NYSE: IHS),the leading global source of critical information and insight. WCG displays include organic light-emitting diode (OLED) and quantum dot technologies.
“As competition in the display market intensifies, display and TV manufacturers are looking for new and emerging technologies to differentiate their offerings from competitors and to provide consumers with higher screen resolution,” said Richard Son, senior analyst, IHS Technology. “WCG technologies are therefore becoming more popular.”
There are two different kinds of quantum dot materials. One is cadmium-included quantum dot and the other is cadmium-free (Cd-free) quantum dot. Since cadmium is an unsafe and toxic element, the display industry developed Cd-free quantum dot technology to replace it. Cd-free quantum dot displays are forecast to comprise 80 percent of the total quantum dot display market in 2016. Quantum dot is just beginning to be used in TV displays to compete against OLED displays. Active-matrix-OLED (AMOLED), by comparison, is primarily used in smartphone displays.
OLED WCG display shipment area is forecast to reach 4.4 million square meters in 2016, growing to 9.2 million square meters in 2018. Quantum-dot WCG display shipment area will reach 13.4 million square meters in 2018, rising from 6.1 million square meters in 2016.

Osram Makes Technology Breakthrough in Cadmium Free Quantum Dot LED TV Backlight.
The new Quantum Colors conversion technology from Osram Opto Semiconductors will set new standards in LED backlighting for TV displays as it offers much better coverage of the color space, significant cost savings compared with conventional quantum dot sheets, and zero cadmium. For many years leading manufacturers of televisions have been demanding an ever broader color space. The TV standard is once again moving to a larger color triangle with Ultra HD. Quantum Colors was developed for precisely this standard. Initial customer projects are in progress, and this Osram technology is scheduled for backlighting LEDs for the mass market by the end of 2016.
Compared with quantum dot sheet solutions, which are based on semiconductor particles measuring only a few nanometers, costs can be halved. “I can give you an example of how much customers can save”, said Peter Lenz, Product Marketing LED at Osram Opto Semiconductors. “For a 55-inch Ultra HD TV with 100% DCI coverage the complete cost of the light source can be as low as 55 euros based on our Quantum Colors technology. The cost of just the quantum dot sheets in existing solutions is twice as high.” (Source of quantum dot sheet costs: “The Price of QD Material is Falling, But Not Enough” (DisplaySearch – February 6, 2015)

.....costs are also interesting, but I think some folks will be surprised in more than 1 way ; )
