According to the latest report, despite the poor industry prospects, Samsung has set itself a rather daunting goal: to ship more than 40 million TVs next year. Samsung will source LCD panels for its TVs from CSOT, HKC, LG Display, BOE, and AUO. Among them, the supply of CSOT will exceed 10 million units.

The South Korean tech giant deliberately favored CSOT over BOE after a dispute with BOE over a marketing agreement, the sources said.
The tech giant wants to its lead in the industry and believes it must ship 40 million units a year, the sources said. About 39 million of these will be LCD models, and another 1.5 million are planned for quantum-dot QD-OLED models, however, Samsung’s plans do not appear to include W-OLED models.
Moreover, W-OLED panels are currently only manufactured by LG Display, which is the main supplier of LG Electronics, Samsung Electronics’ biggest rival in the TV field.
