An article on "OLED world patent analysis -- national competition analysis" analysis of the OLED technology in the country (region) competition situation, focuses on the countries (regions) in the field of power distribution, market layout and key development. In this paper, we will focus on the competitors from the medium level, and explore the main competitors of OLED industry, the scale of patent application, the research and development of key competitors and the input and output.
1, competitor and patent application scale analysis
Figure 8, the size of the patent application of competitors
Figure 8 is the statistical result of the patent application for the patent holder. From the figure, Seiko EPSON patent applications to occupy the first place, 577; followed by Samsung Corp (including Samsung SDI and Samsung DENKAN Co.), 439; Eastman Kodak is the founder of small molecule OLED ranked third, 362; Sony Corp ranked fourth, 315; fifth SANYO motor, 245. The ranking, TDK, Fuji and Idemitsu photos, Konica, AU Optronics, Mitsui Chemicals, SHARP and other companies.

Table 4, the main R & D investment statistics
Table 4 shows the number of patent applications in the top 10 companies, "the average number of patents in the table for the number of invention patent number divided by the value of efficiency, on behalf of the inventor OLED technology research and development"; each patent number average investment "as the inventor of the number divided by the number of patents, the amount of technical manpower cost on behalf of the enterprise.
Seiko EPSON led the Japanese company, low technology input labor costs, reflecting the input-output efficiency is higher; Samsung has a huge R & D team, but the output rate low, higher labor costs and the average R & D investment each patent, shows that the input and output is relatively low.
3 key competitor focus areas
Figure 9, major competitors focus on R & D areas
Figure 9 is the number of patent applications in the top five companies in the main technical areas of statistics, the selection of the 10 technical areas (IPC group) for the OLED industry in the top ten areas of technology. Can be seen in the figure, the 5 companies have strong technical strength, technical comprehensive, multidisciplinary OLED industry, reflects the vertical integration ability of these companies is strong, the Seiko EPSON and Samsung Corp is particularly prominent.
Focus on R & D in the field of each company is different, the Seiko EPSON in H05B-033/00, G09F-009/00 areas more prominent in H01L-029/00, H01L-027/00; Samsung and H01L-021/00 areas more prominent, in C09K-011/00, the G01G-003/00 field is more superiority; Eastman Kodak is more prominent in the field of H01L-051/00, in H01J-001/00 a slight advantage.
