OLED-Info: the OLED experts

According to a report in Korea, LG Chem has increased its requested damages in its patent lawsuit against SFC, and the company now asks to ban SFC's products and destroy its inventory, in addition to the funds it asks for in payment (hundreds of millions of Won, which is a small payment of around $100,000 - $500,000).

LG Chem says that SFC has infringed up its patents that related to the production of a blue OLED host material. LG Chem originally acquired this patent from Dupont in 2019.

The OLED industry moves fast — and keeping track of every new presentation, datasheet, and company report can be a challenge. That’s why we created the OLED Library, part of OLED-Info Pro, where you’ll find a growing collection of brochures, marketing materials, technical documents, and corporate reports from leading companies across the OLED ecosystem.

We keep adding new documents to the Library, and currently we are at 242 items. The latest uploads include：

• TSK Corporation – company and technology introduction to its OLED emitter platform
• Toray Industries – 2025 report
• Plansee – company profile and a brochure on the company's display materials
• Dexerials – integrated report (2025)
• Device Co. – equipment catalog (2024)
• DELO – high-barrier encapsulants product brochure (2024)
• Dai Nippon Printing – company profile (2025)
• Truly – company profile and display catalog (2026)

These documents — and many more — are available exclusively to OLED-Info Pro subscribers. You can also access them directly when browsing a specific company in our OLED Company Directory.

Visionox announced that it has installed the first equipment in its upcoming $7.6 billion 8.6-Gen V5 AMOLED production fab in Hefei. This is an important step - and the first time an OLED lithography (maskless) equipment is intsalled in a mass production line.

A few months ago, as Visionox provided the previous update, it admitted that there are major difficulties in this project, far more than its previous projects - likely because of the new ViP process it is deploying.

Market research firm Counterpoint says that following the spike in memory prices, it revised down its forecast for the OLED industry in 2026, as it now sees smartphone OLED panel shipments declining 3% in 2026. We have heard this before from Omdia a couple of months ago.

Following a 3% increase in global OLED panel shipments in 2025, Coiunterpoint says that the market will remain flat in 2026, as automotive and IT OLED shipments will increase and offset the decline lin smartphone OLEDs. 

Shenzhen-based HKC is reportedly progressing with its plans to build a 6-Gen OLED production line in Mianyang, Sichuan Province, and has started to approach OLED equipment vendors, seeking more information and quotes for production equipment.

According to the reports, HKC is looking to base this new fab on equipment it has acquired from Japan Display's Mobara OLED line, but increasing the capacity and adapting the technology by using new equipment to supplement the existing JDI systems.

Last year, we reported that LG Display is looking into adopting Japan Display's eLEAP technology at its OLED TV production lines in Paju, perhaps seeking to produce RGB AMOLED displays for IT applications at these fabs that are currently under utilized.

Today we hear that LG Display is now progressing with this plan, and is checking an investment plan to apply eLEAP into its large-area OLED production lines.
