Omdia projects TVs using discrete red, green, blue (RGB) LED chip backlights will account for 13% of global TV market revenue by 2030, up from 3% in 2026. RGB LED backlight technology entered retail in Q1 2026 as the latest-generation display innovation. Omdia says the rollout reflects TV brands leaning on high-end display tech to lift product value and revenues amid hardware commoditization.

The Financial Times reports the Royal Navy will order at least six general-purpose combat vessels able to deploy unmanned air and undersea systems, a plan due to be announced this week. The ships, intended as part of the Type 45 destroyer replacement, will be the navy's first hybrid-powered warships and are expected to enter service in the early 2030s. The Labour government is set to abandon a long‑planned eight-ship Type 83 destroyer programme and cancel the five-ship Type 32 frigate programme first announced in 2020 in favour of the new general-purpose vessels. The defence secretary’s final plan is expected to add at least £1bn to defence spending, raising new defence investment by more than £14.5bn versus earlier plans. Government says the vessels will act as unmanned-systems control hubs, extending operational reach and firepower without a proportionate increase in crew or cost.
