Reports suggest Samsung is considering expanding its flexible and foldable OLED production hub in Asan

Reports from Korea suggest that Samsung Display has decided to expand its OLED production hub in Asan, looking to expand its flexible (mostly foldable) OLED capacity.

It seems as if Samsung is seeing higher demand for foldable OLEDs in the future, starting with Apple's first foldable OLED smartphone launch later this year. 

 

SDC owns two plots of land in Asan (called S1 and S2). Its current 6-Gen and 8.5-Gen OLED (and QD-OLED) fabs are located in the S1 plot. It has been thinking about starting to develop the S2 plot back in 2019, but following growing competition from Chinese OLED makers, this has been on hold - perhaps until now.
