What They Say
Business Korea reported that Hyundai would use OLEDs from Samsung Display in their rear view camera system (an optional extra) in its Ioniq 5 EV which is due to be released in the first half of 2021. The paper reports that this is the first time that the firms have worked together for ten years or so. It also reported that “Industry analysts expect the two companies to expand their cooperation into other areas”.
What We Think
As an optional extra, I doubt this will be a very high volume application. Still it’s another small step in establishing OLED as a genuine alternative in automotive applications. (BR)
