LG Display starts building a pilot 3.5-Gen fab for flexible OLED displays
Jan 31st
There are reports that LG Display decided to built a pilot 3.5-Gen (730 × 460 mm) flexible OLED production line. They have ordered the equipment, which will arrive by 3Q 2012, and the line will become active by the end of 2012. An official from LGD is quoted saying that it will take 1-2 years to develop and verify the process and produce prototypes. The company hasn’t decided on a production schedule yet. LG Display’s flexible OLEDs will use the same technology as Samsung’s flexible prototypes – a polymide coated substrate and direct-emission RGB sub-pixels (as opposed to LG’s OLED TV which use WOLED with color filters ). read more

Jan 27th
LG Display says that they will begin production in their 8.5-Gen plant in July, making 8,000 monthly substrates – or about 48,000 55″ OLED TV panels. It’s possible that this assumes 100% yield – and in any case this is more panels then planned . LG plans to invest 4 trillion Won (around $3.5 billion) in OLED production this year, and plans for 2013 will only be made during in the third quarter – LG wants to see the market reaction. LG’s 55EM9600 is a 55″ Full-HD OLED TV featuring 100,000,000:1 contrast ratio and fast response time (1,000 times faster than LCD according to LG). The panel is only 4mm thick, and the whole TV weighs just 7.5Kg. The TV is based on LG Display’s Oxide-TFT white-OLED with color filters (RGBW) OLED panel. read more
