Tv licenses with Samsung and Lg should be profitable for IDCC based on this 2021 sales number for each.

The sales of TVs worldwide in the first quarter of this year was unsurprisingly dominated by Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics, which garnered for themselves respective market shares of 32.9% and 19.2%. In combo, that would make it 52.1%, and that would mean 1 in 2 TVs sold in the first quarter of this year would belong to the stable of either of the two brands.

LG sold a total of 7,279,000 units, including OLED and LCD, in the global market. This is an increase of more than 15% from last year's numbers in the same period.

Samsung, backed by the demand for its Neo QLED, sold 10 million QLED TVs this year.

Samsung, which has topped the TV sales for 15 consecutive years till last year, sold a total of 11,615,000 units in the first quarter, an increase of 11.1%.

In the first quarter, a total of 2,680,000 QLEDs were sold in the global TV market, an increase of 74.3% from 1.54 million units in the same period last year. Of these, Samsung's contribution is about 2,010,000 units.

Samsung has a market share of 46.5% in the 75-inch or larger super-large TV market. It accounted for 52.4% in the 80-plus inch market.
