TNT’s “Tattoo” video wins Best TV Ad on global ad industry website

TNT’s “Tattoo” ad has secured the prestigious title of Best TV Material on Bestads, the world’s leading global ad industry website. The renowned video titled “Tattoo” captivated millions of viewers, earning accolades for its wit and ingenuity.

Recognition for Creative Excellence

Bestads scours through submissions from around the globe, selecting the most outstanding advertisements across various media platforms each week. “Tattoo” emerged as the first Filipino video to claim the top spot on Bestads’ list in the past three years. As part of TNT’s “Mag-SIM Reg Para Hindi SIM Dead” campaign, the video is one of three creative masterpieces to encourage subscribers to register their SIM cards to avoid permanent deactivation.

A Laughter-Inducing Reminder

Guest judge Maria Devereux, the Head of Innovation and Executive Creative Director at Accenture Song, North America, personally handpicked “Tattoo” for its ability to evoke laughter. Meanwhile, Devereux, a highly acclaimed creative from Los Angeles, highlighted how the video’s simplicity resonated with anyone who despises the complexities of life’s administrative tasks. The relatability factor combined with the humorous approach also made the ad truly memorable.

A Clever and Engaging Film

TNT’s “Tattoo” ad successfully delivers on TNT’s brand promise of bringing joy and fun even in public service reminders. The video showcases the universal frustrations associated with administrative processes. In the film, a man visits a remittance center to claim his cash but finds himself unable to provide the required One-Time Password (OTP) due to an unregistered SIM. To prove his identity, he resorts to an unconventional method—displaying his graduation photo, driver’s license, SSS ID, and birth certificate, all tattooed on his body. The video’s clever execution has garnered over 40 million views across popular social media platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok.

Leading the Way in SIM Registration

Smart and TNT continue to lead the way in SIM registration in the Philippines with 44.9 million registered subscribers, equivalent to 67.75 percent of their declared subscriber base.

Easy Registration Process

To facilitate the registration process, TNT and Smart Prepaid subscribers can also visit the official SIM registration portal at https://simreg.smart.com.ph/. Smart Bro subscribers can refer to http://www.smart.com.ph/viewbroadbandsms for detailed instructions on obtaining their OTP. Smart Postpaid users, on the other hand, are already considered registered based on the latest guidance from DICT.

LG reportedly to supply OLED TV panels to Samsung

South Korea’s LG Display Co Ltd is gearing up to supply high-end OLED TV panels to none other than its rival, Samsung Electronics Co Ltd.

Although no official statement has been released, anonymous sources—citing inside information—claim the deal could kick off as early as this quarter. This potential partnership has the potential to reshape the display market and shake up the competition.

A Boost for LG Display’s Profitability

According to three unnamed sources who spoke to Reuters, LG Display reportedly aims to provide Samsung with 2 million units of OLED TV panels next year. If successful, this collaboration could help LG Display turn a profit and strengthen its position in the industry. The initial consignment of panels to Samsung might include larger-sized variants, such as 77-inch and 83-inch white OLED (WOLED) panels. While these details are still shrouded in speculation, the potential impact on both companies is undeniable.

Samsung’s Strategic Move into OLED TVs

For Samsung, the reported deal signifies a strategic push into the high-end OLED TV market, where it has been slower to adopt the technology compared to its local competitor, LG Electronics Inc. By exploring partnerships with LG Display, Samsung aims to capitalize on the growing demand for OLED displays and expand its market presence. While OLED panels come with a higher price tag compared to traditional LCD panels, Samsung believes that the allure of OLED technology, with its vibrant colors and deep blacks, will captivate consumers and propel its growth.

Anonymous Sources Hint at Market Opportunities

The information surrounding the LG Display-Samsung partnership comes from three undisclosed sources who have chosen to remain anonymous, as per Reuters. Although LG Display and Samsung Electronics have declined to comment on the matter, market observers have long speculated that LG Display was in talks to supply OLED TV panels to a new client. This report from anonymous sources is the first to provide details of the potential deal between the two South Korean giants.

Implications for the OLED TV Market

If the rumors prove true, this collaboration could position Samsung Electronics as a significant player in the OLED TV space, potentially surpassing Sony Corp to become the second-largest supplier of OLED TVs globally. As the market for OLED TVs continues to grow, with a projected value of $11.7 billion in 2023 and an expected rise to $12.9 billion by 2027, as stated by market research firm Omdia, securing a reliable supply of OLED panels becomes crucial for manufacturers.

Samsung’s rollable OLED panel offers a glimpse into the future of flexible displays. Unlike previous iterations, this panel rolls up neatly into a compact scroll, making it highly versatile and portable. This impressive feat demonstrates Samsung’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of display technology and offering users a new level of convenience and flexibility in their devices.

Introducing the Flex-In-and-Out OLED Panel

In addition to the rollable OLED panel, Samsung introduced another breakthrough display technology—the Flex In & Out OLED panel. Unlike existing flexible OLEDs that can only bend in one direction, this innovative panel can bend in both directions, opening up new possibilities for device design and user experiences. Samsung’s Galaxy Flip4 and Fold4 smartphones have already showcased the potential of flexible displays, and the Flex In & Out OLED panel takes this technology to the next level.

Integrated Fingerprint Reader and Heart Rate Sensor

Samsung continues to push the envelope with its display advancements. The company unveiled the world’s first OLED panel with an integrated fingerprint reader and heart rate sensor. Unlike conventional implementations that require a dedicated sensor area, Samsung’s solution allows users to unlock their devices by simply touching anywhere on the screen surface. By embedding a light-sensing organic photodiode (OPD) directly into the panel, Samsung has created a seamless and secure unlocking experience. Moreover, this cutting-edge technology can also monitor blood pressure, heart rate, and stress levels by tracking the contraction and relaxation of blood vessels.

As Samsung continues to innovate, consumers can look forward to future devices that offer greater flexibility and functionality.

Stay tuned for further updates!
