It seems that Samsung will soon release a new phone called the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus. If this story is true, it will be a GS6 Edge variant with a larger display (around 5.7" inch, as opposed to the 5.1" display found in the original GS6 Edge). The display will of course be a flexible AMOLED, bent on both edges.

Apparently Samsung already sent store dummy units, and you can it next to a Galaxy Note 4 above.

Samsung today announced two new AMOLED tablets, the Galaxy Tab S2 9.7-inch and Galaxy Tab S2 8-inch. Both tablets adopt QXGA (2048x1536) Super AMOLED displays (263 PPI on the 9.7" and 320 PPI on the 8").

Those AMOLED displays are actually of lower density than those used in the first-gen Tab S tablets (which were WQXGA, or 2560x1600 or 287/359 PPI). Samsung however says that the Tab S2 OLEDs are "newly optimized" and deliver 94% of the Adobe RGB standard for true-to-life colors. The new aspect ratio (the tablets are not as wide as the Tab S ones) is better for reading, too.

LG Chem published a short video that shows how OLEDs emit very little heat. The video shows an OLED lamp next to a fluorescent light and how much heat they emit:

Continental demonstrated a new concept in which the three rear-view mirrors in a car are replaced by cameras and two OLED HDR displays. The so called "Camera Monitor System" improves the cars' safety, efficiency and comfort.

Continental explains that such a system eliminates glare, is better protected against dust and dirt, eliminated exterior mirror damage, gives better vision in poor light and rain, minimizes wind resistance and road noise and eliminates blind spots.

According to a report from Korea, China's BOE has reached out to LG Display and Samsung Display (and other Korean companies), seeking to establish an OLED joint venture in China.

It's not clear if BOE aims to establish an OLED production fab, or an OLED technology joint venture - or that they may seek to simply use LGD's and SDC's OLED panels in their own products (several Chinese TV makers already adopt LG's OLED panels in their own TVs). According to the report, BOE says they can guarantee OLED sales in China, which probably means they aim to help the Korean companies distribute their OLED panels in China.

n-tech Research (Nanomarkets) released a new report (OLED Materials Markets 2015-2022) in which they see the OLED materials market growing from $970 million in 2015 to over $4.4 billion in 2020 and $9.7 billion in 2022.

n-tech sees positive development in OLEDs for mobile devices and wearables, but "some uncertainty" in OLED TVs and OLED lighting. n-Tech is also seeing pricing pressures that will accelerate with the expiration of key IP over the next few years, although novel value-added materials (such as better emitters, TADF materials and a deep blue PHOLED emitter) may offset this somewhat.

Samsung Display announced it launched a new project (called EnDK) to develop the world's first 11K mobile display, that will achieve 2250 PPI(!). The Korean government will support this five-year project with a $26.5 million grant. Samsung is collaborating with 13 companies on this project, and they expect to show the first prototype by the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.

This seems crazy at first for a mobile device - after all the human eye cannot physically distinguish a higher than 2K resolution in a mobile phone. But Samsung explains that this "super dimension" display will enable an "optical illusion" that will enable 3D images.

IHS says that flexible displays are an "increasingly important segment of overall display market revenues", and by 2024 flexible displays (mostly OLEDs) will grab 15% of the total flat panel display market.

Flexible display production will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 44% from 2014 - to reach $23 billion in 2024. The growth may actually accelerate when display makers start to produce rollable, foldable and stretchable panels and devices.

ETNews posted the following chart, showing what seems to be LG Display's own forecasts for UHD (4K) OLED TV production from 2014 to 2020. These are just 4K OLED TVs - LGD still produces Full-HD OLEDs as well (for example in 2015, LGD plans to produce 86,000 FHD TVs, bringing the total number of OLED TV produced to 600,000).

According to the OLED Association LG indeed managed to increase production yields of 4K OLEDs. The company is now conducting extensive R&D in inkjet printing of OLEDs as this seems to be a promising route towards greater material efficiency and faster production

In 2014, CSoT (a subsidiary of TCL) announced plans to establish a 6-Gen LTPS fab in Wuhan, China, in a $2.6 billion investment. New reports suggest that the company is actually ahead of schedule, and now estimates that mass production will begin in Q1 2017. The plan is to make both small and medium sized displays - LCDs and OLEDs.

The new production line will have a capacity of 30,000 monthly substrates - it's not clear what will be the ratio between high-end LCDs and OLEDs.
