OLED Market is Likely to Be the First Year in 2013

OLED in the market from a slow start in 2000. PM-OLED 2004 began large-scale production, the product is applied to the MP3 player and mobile phone sub-panel, when the market is bright, the industry is looking forward to OLED continuation of the LCD development trajectory.

Long ago, OLED is the industry think is the next-generation display technology. However, the reality is cruel, OLED is not, as everyone expected rapid development. But as the technology continues to progress, companies actively involved in recent years, business investment and O increasing the enthusiasm of the LED , OLED market is likely to be the first year in 2013.

OLED on the market from a slow start in 2000. PM-OLED 2004 began large-scale production, the product is applied to the MP3 player and mobile phone sub-panel, when the market is bright, the industry is looking forward to OLED continuation of the LCD development trajectory.

LCD development is the small size of the screen to start. Initially, as the process technology breakthroughs, advances in LCD production line from the 2-generation line to 5th generation line. Subsequently, LCD production line almost every two years on a generation jump.

Initially, because the issue of life, LCD is only used in computer monitors, notebook computers and other IT products. With LCD-generation line is put into operation, the product gradually penetrate to the TV into the home appliance market. LCD small size of production, to the production of large size with only a short period of less than two years, while the product is fully extended, and only less than a decade. At present, the annual sales of all types of LCD almost all reach 200 million units.

OLED in 2004, as applied in the small size of the products, the industry generally believe that OLED era is approaching. At this time, some manufacturers OLED panel after another mass production, 2006 AUO the photoelectric mass production AM-OLED, success will import mobile phone products, but after six months, AUO photoelectric unbearable loss of AM-OLED pressure, announced the stop production. 2007, CMO production subsidiary of AM-OLED odd crystal, successful production of the larger size of the product, and applied to the field of digital picture frames. During this period, Samsung 's specializes in the production of OLED SMD to launch OLED for mobile phones. The end of 2007, the official sales of Sony OLED TV again declared upcoming OLED times. But in 2008, under the impact of the financial turmoil, the major manufacturers of AM-OLED development progress slowed, but continued research. 2009, SMD AM-OLED used in mobile phones, but the market is still not recognized.

Bounce back
The end of 2010, SMD LED turn AM-O applied to Samsung and HTC smartphones. In 2011, SMD continue to develop smartphone applications AM-OLED panel. In the second half of 2011, the four mobile phone companies Nokia, Motorola, HTC, LG launched two AM-OLED screen phone, which makes the AM-OLED market again lively.

In addition, Samsung recently launched the second generation Galaxy Tab AM-OLED is also used as a screen size of 10.1 inches, which show that AM-O the LED involved in the tablet market, product application gradually expanded. 2012 CES show, LG also showcased a 55-inch AM-OLED TV, and volume production is expected in the second half of 2012. One can imagine, companies actively involved in 2012, AM-OLED prices will gradually decline, the accessories will also be applied to a wide range of products.

The future, OLED can be used in the traditional products can be used in flexible displays. Because the product can be rolled up, is even more convenient to carry, the screen size will no boundaries, when the innovative application of a large number of products will appear, this era of digital home is just around the corner.

OLED is a promising future
Currently, in addition to SMD's, almost no other manufacturers mass production of AM-OLED 5.5-generation production line now the most mass production line, mass production in the second quarter of 2011. AUO Solar and LG Display have been declared in early 2011 that each have an AM-OLED production line production in mid-2011 , was postponed to 2012.
