The day before the name "LED TV" with "O"

Samsung one day only in the "led TV" (LED backlight TV) name plus O, sales of "OLED TV" (organic EL TV)?

After the summer of 2010, the author in the interview with the display of technical personnel and analysts, the topic is gradually up. The opportunity is the 5.5 generation of organic EL production line announced in May 18, 2010 (substrate size: 1300mm * 1500mm) investment plan. Another reason is the speech in May 2010 23 ~ 28 day organized by the international society of display "SID 2010" theme, the Samsung Group's subsidiary enterprise, engaged in organic EL business in Korea Samsung mobile display (SMD) executive vice president Jin Xiangxiu (Sang-Soo Kim) announced the construction of organic EL eighth generation production line is equivalent to the main field of LCD panel (substrate size: 2200mm x 2500mm) assumption (see website reported).

On the above move, the author has (in June 29, 2010, the reporter's blog) in the introduction, so here no longer repeat. When Samsung Electronics will start selling OLED TV, some analysts predict that may be officially entered the market in early 2013". The reason to make this prediction, because "LED TV Samsung in developed countries on the market in the summer of 2012. The constituent ratio reached 100%, so to become" LED TV "in the old technology as the" new technology "into OLED TV". Since the first 5.5 generation of organic EL production line will be enabled in 2011, so that by 2013, the large panel yield is likely to have stabilized (analysts), this analysis is persuasive.

Presumably many readers know that, as the representative of LED TV, Samsung Electronics, many of the sales strategy are popular. Recently, Samsung through the front of the display configuration contact sensor elements integrated organic EL panel named Super AMOLED, and actively expand the sales of smart phones. In addition, I believe the reader's main model for Samsung GALAXY S in the four months after the listing in the global market, the sale of the 5 million units still remember. About OLED TV, Samsung Electronics in the SID 2010 keynote speech, said, will give full play to the characteristics of its excellent response speed, and strive to make it the future of 3D TV, the dominant model (SMD Jin Xiangxiu). Although it is not known until 2013, when the support of 3D will not become the first factor in the purchase of TV when considering, but the possibility of manufacturers to take some kind of strategy is still relatively high.

Technology progress from FPDI

On the other hand, there are still some technical problems of organic EL is also an indisputable fact. Held in November 2010, FPD Interenational 2010 in the Samsung Pavilion, backplane (Back Plane) drive components and the front board (Front Plane) organic EL elements of these two aspects of the research and development trends are also emerging.

Drive components, Samsung Electronics demonstrated the use of oxide semiconductor TFT drive 70 inch LCD panel. Although it is a liquid crystal panel, but has a higher performance, by the domestic and foreign technical personnel of great concern. However, the technology does not seem to be used for the manufacture of organic EL panels. Because SID 2010 also exhibited a variety of other drive components, so you can choose to focus on R & D.

In the organic EL components, the author's impression is that there is no clear candidate technology. At present, there are a lot of people think that SMD in the field of small and medium organic EL panel production mass evaporation technology is difficult to achieve large-scale. Although Samsung SID 2010 on the publication of the use of printed organic EL panel, but who can see that its completion is still relatively low.

Currently in the formation of organic EL components technology, in November 2010, east electric and Seiko EPSON announced the joint development of production technology, it can be said that the development of the technology is accelerating. In addition to including SamSung group, including South Korea and Taiwan manufacturers, SONY and Panasonic and other Japanese companies comeback is very promising.
