OLED display modules

According to reports from Korea, Samsung Display has started to mass produce foldable OLED panels to Apple's first foldable iPhone. SDC is producing the foldable panels in its Asan, Korea hub, while the modules are produced in its Vietnam's module factory.

According to the reports, Apple's first order is for a total of 3 million displays that will ship in 2026. Samsung is the exclusive supplier of foldable panels to Apple, and Apple actually signed a 3-year exclusivity deal with SDC.

According to reports from Korea, Samsung Display has decided to sell its OLED module fab in Tianjin, China, as demand for its rigid AMOLED is declining, espsecially in China, and the company wishes to consolidate all its AMOLED module production capacity in Vietnam.

The SDC Tianjin module line has the monthly capacity to produce around 13 million rigid smartphone AMOLED display modules.

Sidtek has formally launched its OLED Meishan microdisplay module fab expansion project. The company says that the first phase in this project is expected to be complete by June 2027.

Sidtek will invest around $225 million in this project, which will include, in addition to the capacity expansion, also an establishment of an IC R&D center, and an OEM production line for AR/VR headset production.

We are happy to announce that our popular OLED Marketplace is now offering microLED microdisplays. MicroLEDs, while still at an early technology and industry stage, offer extremely high brightness, which is useful for AR applications, and are now entering the market.

The first microLED that is on offer is a 0.12" VGA ultra-high-brightness monochrome display. It is available as either a display panel, or a complete display engine with optics (see image above). 

The OLED Marketplace is now listing LG Display's flexible (foldable) 13.3" laptop display, the same display used by Lenovo in its 2020 ThinkPad X1 Fold. This panel offers a 1536x2048 resolution, a brightness of 300 nits, and a bending radius of 3R.

If you are interested in this display for your device or new project, contact us now, or check out more information over at the OLED Marketplace. We also list other flexible displays, ranging from wearable flexible OLEDs to smartphone and laptop type displays.

LG Display announced that it will invest $1 billion to increase its OLED module fab capacity in Vietnam's Hai Phong Economic Zone. This will bring LGD's total investment in Vietnam to date to $5.65 billion.

LG Display first built its Hai Phong facility in 2016, and it then expanded capacity several times. The last capacity increase was announced in 2021.

Samsung Display has decided to build a new OLED module production line in Vietnam, mostly to produce automotive OLED modules and IT OLED modules.

The new production line will be built in Yen Phong industrial park in Bac Ninh province east of Hanoi, close to an existing Samsung Electronics plant. It is understood that the Vietnamese government will provide support for Samsung's new line, which will cost a total of around $1.8 billion.

We are happy to announce that the OLED marketplace lists a 2.69" 600x800 AMOLED display, produced by BOE.

We know many device makers have been struggling to find small-sized AMOLED displays, as most OLED makers produce either wearable OLEDs (usually up to 1.5" in size) or smartphone-type OLEDs (starting at around 5-inch). This new 2.69" AMOLED can be a great solution for many companies.

Following the next-generation display industry and market for almost 20 years has taught us about the many challenges standing before companies that aim to adopt unique display solutions in their products.

Following discussions with display professionals, we feel there is a need for a service that assists companies with finding the right displays for them.
