According to report from Korea, Samsung Display has established a dedicated organization to head its new 8.6-Gen IT OLED Production line, and has started to order equipment. Samsung is converting an existing LCD line in Asan to OLED production, with an estimated cost of $3.1 billion.
According to the report, SDC's decision to have a dedicated organization was made to give that team independence from the company's current small-area (smartphone/wearable) focused business and TV-focused business.
Samsung aims to be the first company to produce IT AMOLED displays in a 8.6-Gen fab. Display makers are looking for Apple's switch to OLED displays in its future tablets and laptops, which will likely cause a stir in the market and increase demand for IT OLED displays dramatically. It is reported that Apple will begin using OLEDs in its iPad Pro devices next year, and Omdia estimates that Apple will start using OLEDs in laptops (MacBook Pro at first) in 2026.
