Demand frequently push OLED into tomorrow's star

Benefit from the MP3 demand raised, according to the OLED shipments in the first quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2004 increased 31%, reaching 9 million 900 thousand. Although the survey DisplaySearch Inc. market research company, vice screen sales have decreased significantly, but the industry believes that the application of growth from MP3, mobile phone, TV and other fields, but are likely to make OLED into a star of tomorrow.

In the survey released market research company DisplaySearch Inc. days ago, although vice screen sales dropped significantly, but according to the 2005 OLED shipments in the first quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2004 increased 31%, reached 9 million 900 thousand, the overall OLED market sales amounted to $101 million 900 thousand. DisplaySearch pointed out that, although the use of OLED sub screen decline, but the small molecule OLED design continues to drive shipments growth, the current OLED display in the field of MP3 sales and sales have increased significantly.

Because of the characteristics of OLED backlight has thinner, brighter and without the use of both space and energy consumption, coupled with its faster response, many consumer electronic products and communication such as a music player, digital camera and mobile phone has been widely adopted OLED as its display device. Figures show that in 2007 the OLED market will grow to $2 billion 400 million, then its application will be aimed at MP3, mobile phones, television and other fields.

Although the OLED into the pace of the market is just started, but in the new personal entertainment device of SONY and Fujitsu's new mobile phone configuration, the industry believes that the next few years will be widely used in the new OLED mobile phone. At the same time, the use of OLED Technology TV will be put on the market before 2006.

Overall, the long-term outlook for OLED is still promising, but the reporter was informed that, due to the high cost and low rate of production equipment and other factors, the recent growth momentum is still not obvious OLED.

It is reported that the Japanese equipment suppliers to use their own strength in terms of semiconductor and LCD manufacturing, has now made an early lead in the OLED manufacturing equipment market. But because they have been reluctant to share OLED manufacturing technology, which has led to a lower degree of standardization of its OLED process, did not get a greater degree of market promotion. Therefore, in the short term, OLED is still difficult to achieve a rapid market promotion process, the urgent need to solve the problem of market promotion and application of the OLED market is plagued by the development of.
