What They Say
The Elec reports that Samsung plans to first make single stack rather than tandem OLEDs on the G8 line that it has just decided to build for IT applications. Samsung Display’s co-project to develop a full-cut, vertical deposition machine optimized for a Gen 8 line with Japan’s Ulvac had been aimed at single stack OLED from the start at the design concept stages, according to the Elec’s sources.
The factory is reported to have been designed to allow space for conversion to tandem OLEDs which are said to be in the plans of Apple for its OLED iPad in 2024.
The Gen 8 OLED line is expected to have a capacity of 15,000 substrates per month at the start. While the line is aimed to service Apple, Samsung Display and LG Display are expected to use their existing Gen 6 (1500x1850mm) lines to make the OLED panels for the first OLED iPad, the Elec said.
What We Think
One of my readers once said that I ‘have the ears of the devil’. SDC’s team must say the same about The Elec! (BR)
