Panel New Star OLED Factory actively grabs large-size models

Being considered as a new generation of panel, the military OLED is considered to be a dream panel because of its superior image quality to the liquid crystal panel and its low power consumption. However, due to its short lifespan and difficulty in producing large-size products, it has not yet been developed. Great development. However, recently Assurlux, SONY, Sumitomo Chemical and other manufacturers are still actively researching and developing related technologies, and Taiwan-based factories, including AUO, are mainly small-sized, such as mobile applications. The professional research institution DisplaySearch is optimistic that large-size OLED TVs may appear in 2014.

Asahi Glass has now developed new materials that are plated on OLED glass substrates, which can extend the life of OLEDs to more than 15 times the current lifespan. With OLED panels that are currently only 2-3 years old, durability can now be extended for the same duration as LCD panels. Asahi Glass plans to start mass production next year, and the 2020 revenue will challenge the 5 billion yen target.

After SONY launched the world's first 11-inch OLED panel TV in 2007, it currently develops technology that uses oxide semiconductors for transistors that control the emission of OLED panels. The feature is that it can be produced using the same process as the LCD panel, which helps production.吋 Above the panel.

Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd. continued the R&D of polymer PLEDs for the coating process and acquired a UK venture capital company with a leading polymer PLED technology in 2007. The company cooperated with Panasonic and plans to produce large-scale testing machines of more than 40 inches in size this year. , and mass production in 2012 and 2013.

In the part of Taiwanese manufacturers, when OLEDs were first started, the market prospects are promising. Many manufacturers have invested in R&D and production of OLED products. Only under the pressure of the LCD panel army, many companies retreated one after another. AUO will also start mass production of OLED displays in 2011, but the main target of production is OLED panels targeting small-sized device applications such as mobile phones and portable products.

Chi Mei Optoelectronics has previously been developing LTPS panels for a long time. In addition, Chi Mei Optoelectronics' own Qi Jing Optoelectronics has also been involved in many OLED projects. Therefore, subsequent OLEDs will also become the focus of Chi Mei's development.

According to a survey by DisplaySearch, a professional research institute, the market size of OLED panels in 2009 was US$800 million, and it is expected to expand by more than five times in 2014 to US$4.4 billion. At present, the use of OLEDs is mainly mobile phones, and DisplaySearch believes that large-size OLED TVs may not be available until 2014.

Although OLED panel technology is expected to have a breakthrough in lifespan and area, it is expected that the LCD panel will drop in price by 20% in a single year. If the cost reduction rate of OLED panel cannot catch up with the LCD panel, the degree of development of OLED panel is still very limited.
