China OLED market survey 2010-2011

Chinese consulting firm CCID released its 2010-2011 survey on China's OLED industry. In 2010, Chinese companies shipped 1.35 million OLED displays, up 38.2% over last year. OLED makers in China include Visionox, Shanwei Truly, Sichuan CCO and Irico. Both Shanghai Tianme and Irico are in the process of building 4.5-Gen AMOLED fabs, planning to start mass production in 2011. BOE Display and Sichuan CCO are also engaged with AMOLED R&D.

The Chinese government continues its support for the OLED industry, including special funds from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and tax policies on new display manufacturers imported materials. But there are still several problems in China's OLED industry - key equipment still needs to be imported (from Japan, Korea and the EU) and China needs raw materials. AMOLED development faces great difficulty due to outdated equipment and inadequate management.

Irico to build an AMOLED fab in a $245 million investment

China's Irico Display plans to raise ¥6 billion (around $900 million) - out of which ¥1.6 billion (around $245 million) will be used to build an AMOLED fab. According to earlier reports, Irico already has a 4.5-Gen AMOLED pilot production line ready, located at the OLED industrial base in Guangdong province. We assume that the current plan is to build a mass-production 4.5-Gen line.

Irico has begun construction back in March 2009 (investment was $75 million). At least back then, the plan was to produce 2.2" displays. We do not know what kind of displays they plan to produce now.
