12月2日、劉備産業リサーチの主管で、ソウル汝矣島の中小企業会館で開かれた2016OLED決算セミナーで、LG経済研究院のイ・ウグン責任は、2017年が消費者にとってOLEDの革新性を強調できる重要な一年になると予想した。

イ・ウグン責任は、大型OLEDパネルから注目すべきのイッシュの一つとして、「来年のCESを迎え、現在のpremium TV市場でOLED TVはLGが市場を主導しているが、Sonyが加勢するときのインパクトを注視するべきだろう」と述べ、「まだ既存の消費者にSonyの画質に対する基本的な期待があるため、このような視点からSonyのOLED TVがどのような革新的な様子を見せるのか、また、消費者にどのような反応をもたらすかについて関心を持って観察する必要がある」と述べた。

中小型のイッシュとしてmobile phone市場でAppleのiPhone8(仮称)にOLEDパネルの採用を言及し、「Apple iPhone8にOLED displayをどんな方法で実現するか、これに通じて、果たして消費者にどれだけのインパクトを与えられるのかが重要である」と言った。また、「OLEDを適用したにもかかわらず、従来のLCDと差別化した革新性を示さなければ、消費者のOLEDへの期待が消えるかもしれない」と言い、消費者の視点からOLEDに対する意味のある反応を引き出さなければならないと強調した。

2017年にはAppleのflexible AMOLED panelが適用されたiPhoneが発売されると期待されており、SonyもOLED TV事業への進入について継続的に検討していると確認された。2017年にはOLEDを適用した製品を発売するset企業がもっと増えると期待される。消費者が、複数のメディアの報道と噂を通じて、従来のLCD製品とは違う「OLED製品だけの全く新しいもの」を期待している状況で、2017年はOLEDの革新性を強調し、商品性を打ち出すこのできる重要な一年になると思われる。
