Taiwan OLED development needs technology and intentions

Recently, OLED attracted more than Taiwan property owners to actively invest in the industry to form a "OLED boom". Taiwan Jiaotong University in Japan before the establishment of the "organic light-emitting diode assembly research laboratory", became the first OLED research unit in Taiwan academic circles. Responsible for this program is the Department of applied chemistry professor of transportation, Dr. Chen Jinxin, he is the original Kodak 35 patents, and Kodak is currently the most influential companies in the OLED industry.

Since the start of the OLED boom, Taiwan has more than a dozen manufacturers claimed to be put into the ranks of R & D. Chen Jinxin said, OLED has a considerable technical threshold, plans to invest in the manufacturers should first assess their core technology, and the market and products have a certain understanding, not only to hold funds can try.

He believes that the current situation of the semiconductor industry is not a pity, because the semiconductor and OLED front-end technology is quite similar, compared to other industries, the technical barriers to transfer from the semiconductor is lower. Overall, Taiwan is still slightly behind the foreign manufacturers in the start of OLED. How to turn things around, Chen Jinxin believes that Taiwan industry must be effectively integrated, currently in the homogeneous formation of manufacturers is too high, a waste of resources, affecting the growth and expansion of the industry. In addition, in the direction of R & D, should be the key to the development of OLED technology - even a small bottleneck, as long as there is a breakthrough, will have considerable influence.

In 1997, when Chen Jinxin published the first article on the introduction of organic electroluminescent materials and components in Taiwan, it was mentioned that, in addition to organic chemistry, "organic" can also be interpreted as "opportunity". And four years later, this interpretation is sufficient to illustrate the prospects for the development of the industry in Taiwan OLED. The future of Taiwan in the world of OLED, Chen Jinxin is full of expectations, he believes that this is the Taiwan manufacturers for the first time to work with the world manufacturers stand on the same footing common competition rather than others coming out of the technology transfer. Although OLED has many patents rests in the hands of Kodak, but Kodak itself is not related to the production of products; and the OLED present in the material, process, package and drive technology is still a lot to be overcome, which means that there are still many patent space, as for how to break the technical barriers, and to support the way the production of competitive products, will be the key to success, and this is the Taiwan business opportunity.
