[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Paul Lee] Samsung Display invests 4.1 trillion won in '8.6th generation OLED'
Samsung Display will invest 4.1 trillion won to produce 8.6th generation organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays. The 8.6th generation is the first manufacturing process to be attempted in the global display industry.
The older the generation, the more efficient the display can produce larger products. However, production is very difficult, such as requiring high-level technology. Samsung, the small and medium-sized OLED 1, has once again started to achieve the super gap.
Samsung Display held a new investment agreement ceremony at its Asan campus in South Chungcheong Province on the 4th and said it will invest 4.1 trillion won in producing OLED panels for information technology (IT) by 2026. Samsung plans to build an 8.6-generation OLED panel production facility measuring 2.25 meters wide and 2.6 meters long.
The investment marks the first of Samsung's balanced regional development investments that it said will invest 60.1 trillion won over the next decade.
The 8.6th generation uses a glass substrate (director) larger than the existing 6th generation (1.5×1.8m). More displays can be produced at once. Based on a 14.3-inch tablet, the sixth-generation facility can produce 4.5 million units a year, but the 8.6-generation facility can produce up to 10 million units.
