OLED: new opportunities for flat-panel TV industry

[San Francisco] does not grasp the core technology of LCD plasma, SONY and Toshiba recently announced that the new tablet technology organic light emitting display (hereinafter referred to as "OLED") TV will be officially listed soon. This is not the same as the existing tablet core technology of Chinese enterprises or an opportunity. In fact, the Ministry of information industry has been listed as one of the OLED of the Ministry of information industry project, the focus of support; and Tsinghua University, South China University of Technology, Chinese Electronics Standardization Institute, CIGNA Corporation as the representative of the institutions and enterprises already involved in this field, and obtained a number of patented technologies. Experts point out that, if Hisense, Changhong, Konka, SKYWORTH, TCL and other companies to follow up in a timely manner, OLED technology may be an opportunity for China's flat-panel TV industry.

The international market is hot OLED

Technology is always walking in front of the market, this is common in any field, the TV market is no exception. PDP, LCD and other display technology in the ascendant, foreign companies have begun to study OLED, FED, ERD, SED and other next generation display technology, which of the most attention to OLED.

Into 2007, on OLED news. First, MITSUBISHI heavy industries announced it will begin production of OLED panels in 2009, and is expected to launch later this year and then samples; in August this year, LG Electronics announced "Kyungpook turtle E factory has started AM (active) OLED panel production", also said the upcoming LG 2-3 mobile phone model using AM OLED panel. It is understood in terms of OLED, LG, E in the turtle 1 factory has 2 production lines. The mass production is the A production line, the size of the annual production of 1 million 200 thousand inches of level products, and then, to get rid of the SED business Toshiba also said it would invest more in R & D in OLED.

Of OLED on the biggest news from SONY and samsung. On the CRT to LCD, PDP transformation process in a slow shot SONY, apparently more concerned about the next generation of display technology OLED. During the national day, committed to studying OLED decades of heavy news release SONY claims to be listed in December 1st this year, the world's first 11 inch OLED TV, XEL-1".

Is more important, SONY said, will gradually launch its OLED TV service, which together with "BRAVIA" and the development of LCD TV business, to expand its overall TV business.

On the other hand, as the new technology investment has always been more Samsung, in addition to continue to maintain the original PM (passive) OLED production capacity, this year is to achieve a production of AM OLED panel. It is understood that the Samsung SDI has 1 million 500 thousand monthly production capacity of AM OLED, in accordance with the Samsung SDI plan, next year will be doubled to raise this value to 3 million.

Mainland manufacturers have long been involved

SONY, Samsung, Toshiba and other foreign consumer electronics giants have entered the OLED market, let the market rapid warming. In LCD, LCD technology has lagged behind the mainland enterprises, will be in the next generation of display technology to keep up with it?

Vice Minister of Ministry of information industry Lou Qinjian in 2007 flat panel display industry technology summit has made it clear that the research based on O/PLED, LCOS, laser display technology, display technology, mainland enterprises should be early layout, to carry out research, improve the supporting capacity of the next generation of display technology.

In fact, "Chinese electronic newspaper" reporter learned is not late in this market, enterprises started several companies engaged in research and development of OLED.

In September this year, Guangdong formally build Guangdong organic light-emitting display (OLED) industrial technology research institute. It is understood that for this project, Guangdong province will arrange 220 million yuan to support the research institute to carry out key materials, OLED equipment and technology research projects, and plans within 3 years to produce the 370mm * 470mmOLED screen production line and relevant equipment. In addition, as early as the beginning of this century in OLED developed by Beijing weixinnuo Technology Co. Ltd, as of now has the ability to mass production of OLED panels.

"Currently CIGNA Kunshan plant is under construction, the second half of next year is expected to put into production, the annual output will reach 10 million yuan. "Vice president of Beijing visionox Technology Co. Ltd. Huambo Stephen told" Chinese electronic newspaper "reporter.

"China electronic newspaper" reporter in the interview shortly before the Beijing Matsushita tube Limited company chairman Fan Wenqiang told reporters, he said, from the big electronics exhibition information in foreign countries, many international companies are using OLED as the key technology of next generation development, after 35 years of time the market atrophy of CRT tube, do not rule out the possible introduction of Beijing Matsushita OLED.

It is understood that the current study of OLED, can be divided into several factions: one is the school, such as Tsinghua University, South China University of Technology, etc.. Two is a number of companies engaged in LCD and Optoelectronics Research, because OLED and TFT from the production process, there are 70% of the same. The three is the acquisition, such as when the acquisition of BOE introduced Korean technology including OLED, so these are the basis of SVA to do. In addition, some of the original electronic companies do not engage in, see OLED have prospects for development, but also to participate in.

"At Chinese Electronics Standardization Institute OLED as the object and LCD, PDP, LED are studied, the experimental work carried out just OLED. This year's new work proposal will be visual quality and
