Samsung in OLED development laid the foundation stone for the next 10 years growth

The world's largest memory chip maker Samsung Electronics Co. panel and LCD (Samsung) will be put into research next generation memory and LCD technology, in order to maintain the leading trend of the current leads the world in the next 10 years. It is understood that the next generation of magnetic RAM (MRAM), RAM (FRAM) and ferroelectric organic light emitting diode (OLED) is the focus of future research and development of Samsung. Unlike DRAM, MRAM chip can save the data in computer after shutdown, and provide faster speed; data processing speed of FRAM is beyond the flash memory (flash), and less power consumption. Two technologies are expected to be used in various devices, such as high - order phones and memory cards. Samsung spokesman said the company's R & D spending this year will grow to 5 trillion and 400 billion won ($5 billion 300 million), higher than last year's 4 trillion and 800 billion won, accounting for the company's revenue this year is the estimated value of about 9%. She pointed out: Samsung will continue to strengthen its core competitiveness, with high-capacity memory, next-generation semiconductors, monitors and digital TV as the focus of future business." R & D funds and this year's Intel Samsung (INTC-US) $5 billion 200 million to be roughly the same. Another DRAM peers Micron (MU-US) this year, only $754 million. OLED is still in the early stages of development, but its diversified performance and low power consumption as thin as the thickness of the paper, and make it the next generation flat panel display technology in the continuous standard battle succession high voice. The main competitor is Samsung LCD in the panel Market in second, 3 LG.Philips LCD (LPL-US) and auo. LG.Philips R & D costs about 8 yuan annual revenue of $3%. OLED display is divided into passive and active. Passive for small mobile phone and car audio and video system, the most common use. Active with high resolution and information content, suitable for watching movies and drawing on the computer. But its life cycle is too short, and the technology is not mature to the extent of commercialization. Analysts estimate that OLED can reduce the production cost of 20-50% is LCD. Deutsche Bank analyst D.J. Yook said: "you can imagine, Samsung is still the next 3-4 years minimum manufacturing cost of memory and LCD panel manufacturers, but also has the ability to retain the existing mobile phone business. However, the next 5-10 years of new business growth is quite uncertain. They may focus on research and development in the current dominant semiconductor and display market."
