Chinese manufacturers force printing OLED or may surpass Korea

Previously Samsung Electronics (Samsung Electronics) said it would be a quantum dot LED (QLED) as a new generation of large size TV's strategic products to be developed, which means not to participate in the OLED TV battle. But this is Samsung, the panel industry left line business, although OLED TV market has LG display (LG Display) the first mass production sales, but the mainland industry computer inkjet printing technology to the development of OLED process in the catch up from behind.

ETNews reports, the panel industry not only to the development of small and medium size OLED panel, is also eager to large size OLED, in order to reduce the cost and time investment, the BOE and Huaxing Power have interested in the 10.5 and 11 generation line installed inkjet printing equipment, research and development of large size OLED panel technology.

LG display is the first OLED TV production industry, the 8 generation OLED panel production line. The BOE and Huaxing Power to larger production technology surpassing the LG positive development for inkjet printing technology, more than 8 generation line. Especially in the Samsung said it will focus on the development of QLED technology, more land plants as a good chance to catch up, to accelerate the introduction of inkjet printing technology.

The BOE is currently developing ink-jet printing technology used in small and medium size OLED panel, and the plan will be part of the 10.5 generation LCD production line as the development of inkjet printing RGBOLEDTV test production line (Pilot Line); there is to assess whether Huaxing Power will be part of the 11 generation LCD production line as the test uses the 8 generation of RGBOLEDTV.

If the BOE can successfully produce 10.5 generation OLED panel, will become the industry's first inkjet printing technology applications in the RGBOLED industry. LG 8 generation OLED production line with independent research and development of white OLED (WOLED) technology.

OLED panel process, inkjet printing technology than the current evaporation efficiency, Samsung and LG in the long-term effort, to Kateeva, Tokyo power (Tokyo Electron), by Semes, STI and other overseas purchase of machine equipment industry engaged in R & D, but there is no clear results.

The industry said that Samsung intends to disrupt the competitiveness of the camp QLED strategy OLED, but did not expect to give the mainland competitors to take advantage of the gap to develop large size OLED timing.

South Korean industry is worried that the mainland industry to actively develop inkjet printing technology, will likely exceed two Korean factory. Because the relevant equipment and materials are owned by foreign manufacturers hands, Lu panel plant is rapidly accumulated and improve the technical capacity, if the BOE or Huaxing Power successfully into mass production technology, do not rule out the market will get first mover advantage.
