The OLED panel will be really popular, the market scale reached 3 trillion yen in 2017

According to the Nikkei 16 reported on the OLED panel will enter the real popularity, with television, mobile phone intelligence have adopted the OLED panel, estimated in 2017 the market size will be expanded to 3 trillion yen, while the current OLED panel market is by South Korea's Samsung Electronics, LG Display (LGD) oligopoly, Japan panel plant presence weak. But the materials and parts, manufacturing equipment required in the production of OLED panels on Japanese companies have very high market share.

The indispensable luminescent materials in the OLED panel, Japan and Germany Merck two world Idemitsu, global competition for leading position, light plans in the year 2018 the overall annual production capacity of OLED material (Japanese factory + Korean factory) increased to 12 tons, compared with the current (7 tons) increased 7; Canon's OLED panel manufacturing equipment maker Canon Tokki in 2017 will be "vacuum evaporation equipment" capacity doubled. "Vacuum evaporation equipment" is equivalent to the OLED panel production line of the heart, Canon Tokki is the world's leading "vacuum evaporation equipment", almost dominate the market.

In addition, MITSUBISHI chemical in August in the cause of the creation of the OLED panel heiqi specialized team, once received the order, plans to use the cause of the production of TV with OLED materials. The development of MITSUBISHI chemical luminescent materials can be used to be called "low cost printing" type of manufacturing technology.

Global small and medium size LCD panel giant Japan Display Inc (JDI) said President and CEO East into the letter Bo in August 9th at the press conference, "no OLED no future, will change the original focus on strategy, steering OLED lcd".

According to the relevant survey report pointed out that the intelligent mobile phone panel mainstream products from the LCD is rapidly transferred to OLED, estimated 2017 wisdom machine with OLED panel shipment volume will increase 53% to $21 billion 600 million, mainly due to Apple (Apple) is expected to fall on sale iPhone part of the aircraft will start using the OLED panel, and Chinese wisdom mobile phone factory is likely to follow up the OLED panel, market driven rapid expansion.

Japanese manufacturers in the LCD panel Market in 1990s with a sweeping presence in the OLED market are weak. IHS senior director Hsieh pointed out that "Japanese manufacturers are still in the trial stage, still need to import into the production time". Suffer from capital scheduling of JDI production, to their own fear of SHARP (Sharp) is based on backward technology.

SHARP vice president Nomura Katsuki held on July 28th earnings will be asked SHARP to invest OLED panel ideas, "SHARP is currently developing the 4.5 generation technology, the small amount of kerb production line, production time will depend on market promotion, the current time has always been undecided".

Nikkei News reported on July 6th that Apple has started research on sale is expected in the second half of 2018 3 iPhone, and consider the 3 iPhone all use OLED panel. A number of related sources, "SHARP is currently developing the 4.5 generation technology, the small amount of kerb production line, production time will depend on market promotion, the current time has always been undecided".

Reported that the second half of this year is expected to OLED panel started selling the iPhone 8 required by Samsung exclusive supply after 2018 is likely by Samsung and LG Display (LGD) supply, but if the next 3 iPhone by the OLED panel, Samsung panel factory fear can not meet the demand, so the plan (3 iPhone - OLED panel) can realize there are still variables.
