OLED-Info is the world's leading OLED display industry portal since 2004. We provide a multitude of services to the OLED market based on our extensive knowledge hub and industry connections.
OLED devices use organic semiconductors to create beautiful, flexible and efficient display panels.
Google's Pixel 6 smartphone features a 6.4-inch 1800x2400 90Hz AMOLED display, an under-the-display fingerprint sensor, Google Tensor chipset, dual camera setup, 8GB of RAM, 128/256 GB of storage and 5G connectivity.
The Pixel 6 Pro sports a larger and higher-quality display, a 6.7-inch 1440x3120 120Hz LTPO AMOLED. The Pixel 6 Pro also features a larger battery and an improved triple-camera setup.
According to a report from China, BOE will produce around 15 million AMOLED panels for Apple in 2021, or about 10% of Apple's total OLED panel orders.
BOE is supplying displays for refurbished iPhone 12 devices, and Apple is now looking into adopting BOE's panels in the iPhone 13. It is likely that the 15 million shipments estimate relies on Apple's approval of BOE's iPhone 13 panels, and even so it might be a bit optimistic that BOE will supply so many panels by year's end.
The Realme Watch T1 sports a 1.3" 416x416 round AMOLED display, NFC, 4GB of storage and heart rate and blood oxygen level sensors.
The Realme Watch T1 will start shipping in November 2021 for 699 Yuan (around $110).
DSCC says that LG Display continues to improve the production at its 8.5-Gen WOLED TV fab in Guangzhou, and it finally managed to have the production cost in China be lower than a comparable OLED TV made in Korea.
DSCC estimates that the production cost in China by the end of 2021 will be 13-14% lower than that of LG's Korea fabs.
According to reports from Korea, P&H Tech signed a long-term contact with Dupont, for the supply of OLED materials. The deal, worth $6 million USD (paid up front), will last until 2028.
It is not clear what kind of materials will P&H Tech supply - whether these will be OLED intermediates or OLED stack materials, as P&H supplies both. The company did say that the materials it will supply to Dupont "can improve the life and luminance of OLED panels".
Panasonic announced a new thermoset stretchable film for printed electronics, called Beyolex. Panasonic targets several applications for its new film, including OLED substrates and encapsulation film.
Beyolex is based on a proprietary non-silicone thermoset polymer chemistry developed by Panasonic researchers at the company's Electronic Materials laboratory in Osaka, Japan. The film features softness, conformability, high temperature resistance, and ultra-low permanent deformation after stretching.
In February 2019 LG Display started producing its 55" FHD 38% transparent commercial OLED displays, and the company recently announced several projects that utilize its 55" transparent OLED displays.
One of these projects is the installation of transparent OLEDs on subway train windows in China - in Beijing and Shenzhen. We now learn that the Moscow Metro has launched a pilot project, in which transparent OLED displays were installed in the windows of the cars on the Line 7 of the Moscow Metro.
