"Samsung hoped that UDC will be ready with a blue OLED emitter in 2024, but reports suggest a commercial introduction will only arrive in the second half of 2025 - and these emitters will suffer from reduced lifetimes, which may limit their adoption in TV applications and delay the introduction of a single emitter layer QD-OLED."

This doesn't jibe what Mike Hack of UDC has been saying lately, about mass production of blue being imminent.

One of the most important thing is the profit forcast for QD OLED is not clear based on mLED-LCD vs OLED competition.

Scale-up/commercial production of blue can still be happening "imminently" - it's just that the customer will take longer than expected going from a commercial supply of material to a product release.
