OLED-Info: the OLED experts

In February 2026, OLED microdisplay developer Lumicore announced that it has started to construct a 12-inch OLED microdisplay fab, in the Nanjing Jiangning Development Zone.

Yesterday Lumicore held a ceremony as it has finished the planning and design phase, received all required approvals, and finalized the preparations. It is is now starting to construct the main building - which it expects to complete before the end of 2026.

Sunic System  announced that it has been accepted into the Korean Government's Super B Enterprise national R&D initiative. Sunic will be awarded a 7-year support budget, to develop an AI-based OLED deposition platform.

In this platform, Sunic plans to integrate AI analysis functions, sensors, edge AI technology, and an integrated operating platform. The on-board AI technologies will enable enhanced process anomalies detection, and optimized operations.

Taiwan-based IC developer Raydium Semiconductor announced its financial results for Q2 2026, with revenues of $211.8 million, up 25.4% from last quarter.  Net profit was $10.7 million, as the company's margins decreased due to significant increases in wafer foundry and packaging/testing costs.

Raydium says that its higher sales were mainly driven by increased demand for its small and medium-sized AMOLED driver ICs, as customers are building up inventory. 

In May 2025, Huawei launched it first foldable OLED laptop, the MateBook Fold, sporting a 18-inch 1,600 nits 3300 x 2200 foldable LTPO tandem-stack AMOLED display. When folded, the display is 13-inch in size. The laptop started shipping in June 2025, with a price tag that started at 23,999 RMB ($3,300 at the time).,

The company today announced an update to the foldable laptop - the MateBook Fold Ultimate Design. The new device, has a price range of 24,999 - 29,999 RMB (or $3,700 - $4,450 USD).

In recent years, the main focus of the OLED industry was on reducing power consumption. OLED developers introduced several novel technologies, including new backplanes, materials and device architectures, to increase device and system efficiency.

This article looks into the potential pressure that the acceleration of on-device AI (locally running AI engines as opposed cloud-based AI) will have on OLED developers to reduce the power consumption even further, especially within the laptop segment, and adopt novel next-gen technologies.

As TCL CSOT begins to commercially produce inkjet printed OLED panels at the company's 5.5-Gen line, MSI announced the first product to use one of these panels - the premium MSI Pro Max OLED 271UPJW12, based on a 27" 4K (164 PPI) 120Hz and Real RGB Stripe side-by-side subpixel structure. The monitor integrates MSI's OLED Auto Care Compensation Technology, to mitigate burn-in.

Today, at the ChinaJoy tradeshow in China, MSI demonstrated this panel, and a reviewer posted a video where they tested the new display and revealed several interesting specifications.
