Samsung to delay expansion in their AMOLED fab?
Oct 18th
There are reports from Korea that Samsung Mobile Display may delay their 5.5-Gen AMOLED fab expansion. The reports claim that SMD already postponed equipment orders for the third phase, and they will also delay expansion of the second line. Samsung’s original plans were to finish all three stages by the end of 2011. This was later delayed – the second line towards the end of 2011, and third line at the first half of 2012. read more

Fraunhofer to show a 30-cm wide roll-to-roll flexible OLED lighting panel
Oct 7th
The Fraunhofer IPMS are developing a roll-to-roll process to make flexible large area OLED lighting panels. Next week they will show a 30cm wide flexible OLED lighting panel on a metal foil, fabricated at COMEDD . In fact they say that this demonstrates that they developed all necessary process steps for a complete production of flexible OLEDs in a roll-to-roll tool: from the structuring of substrate up to the lamination of barrier foils.

Lumiotec’s Hanger lamp on video
Oct 5th
Lumiotec is showing their Hanger OLED lamps over at CEATEC 2011. Here’s a nice video showing the lamp in action: The Hanger is a portable lamp that uses Lumiotec’s 14.5×14.5 Square white OLED panels. The OLED features a color temperature of 4,900K, maximum luminance of 2,700cd/m 2 and it consumes 9.5W. The lamp itself comes in several colors (red, white, yellow, blue, yellow-green, pink, purple and silver). The price of the Hanger (including the controller, dimmer switch and AC/DC adapter) is ¥35,000 (or about $450) which makes it the cheapest OLED lamp available.

Mitsubishi shows a curved Diamond Vision OLED display
Oct 5th
Mitsubishi installed a curved Diamond Vision OLED display at the CEATEC 2011 exhibition. This display uses 696 PMOLED modules – each 32x32mm in size. Mitsubishi says that the pixel pitch is 3mm – which means that each module’s resolution is 10×10. This is actually a very small Diamond Vision OLED installation – compared to the gigantic OLED globe installed in Tokyo’s science museum – which has 10,362 panels (!) – each 96x96mm in size… read more

Something big (and curved) is coming from Samsung…
Oct 5th
Samsung is hosting an event on October 11th (during the CTIA Enterprise & Applications show in San Diego) – apparantly together with Google. They released a short teaser that towards the end shows a mysterious curved device: There are speculations that this is the next Google phone (perhaps called Nexus Prime) – that will include a curved Super AMOLED HD display. We don’t have a lot to wait for this one! Hopefully they won’t fail us like Apple just did yesterday . Here’s the full (30 seconds) teaser video: read more

Apple introduces the iPhone 4S, with the same 3.5" Retina display
Oct 5th
Apple hosted their iPhone event yesterday, and introduced the latest version – the iPhone 4S . It uses the same 3.5″ Retina (LCD) display as the iPhone 4. The hardware upgrades are not very exciting: a faster processor (dual core A5) and an upgraded camera (8mp). It also includes a hybrid CDMA and GSM chipset. A few weeks ago we started hearing rumors that the next iPhone (the iPhone 5) will include an OLED display . Even though such rumors circulated before each Apple product introduction, this time Samsung’s AMOLED production capacity may indeed be high enough for Apple – so we’re a bit disappointed. Of course, the iPhone 4S is a ‘minor’ update and not an entirely new device – and we’re sure Apple is working on the iPhone 5. Will it be the first Apple OLED device?

On Samsung’s and LGD’s OLED production scaling methods
Oct 5th
The OLED Association published a very interesting paper discussing Samsung’s and LG Display’s efforts to scale OLED production to large size panels (specifically 55″ OLED TVs ). In the article, they say that Samsung will use an LTPS substrate with a SMS (Small Mask Scanning) method, while LGD plans to use an Oxide TFT and Kodak’s White OLED with color filters architecture. We already reported about Samsung’s SMS method a few weeks ag o. The article includes a very interesting comparison of the different deposition methods (FMM, LITI, SMS, Printing and LG’s RGBW). They also claim that the new display in the Samsung Galaxy II LTE HD was produced using LITI .
