A new industry group was formed at CES today, the 8K Association. Founding companies for the 8KA include leading panel supplier AU Optronics (AUO) along with consumer electronics giants Hisense, Panasonic, Samsung Electronics and TCL Electronics. Panel supplier Samsung Display is also in the process of joining the 8KA. This international group of leaders recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to form the nonprofit organization to advance their common vision and mission.
The organization will work on developing the entire value chain for 8K with an initial focus on supporting the early commercialization and adoption of 8K TVs. Its goals range from promoting 8K, helping secure 8K native content for members, encouraging service providers (especially OTT) to develop 8K offerings, and to help with commercialization. To developing initial technical requirements for 8K input signals. And developing initial 8K TV categories and minimum specifications for image quality.
The new organisation will be headed-up by its Executive Director, well-known display industry analyst and consultant Chris Chinnock.
