It is understood that the present Korea for regions of the world's most active development of OLED, with the exception of Samsung AMOLED panels has expanded each year investment action monitor, LGD also launched AMOLED panels this year investment plan, in this context, 2011 Korea OLED capital point to 5.9 trillion won (approximately $ 5.2 billion) scale, and 2012 will see 8 trillion won (about US $ 7.2 billion).
Korea OLED 70% about capital spending to investment in Equipment, in order to reduce depend on the level of overseas equipment factory, Korea plant in his cumulative technical capacity in the field of semiconductor and LCD, actively into the AMOLED field. In AMOLED production-level view, Korea in evaporation, encapsulation, and organic TFT array, Cell and other process equipment has been South Korea plant can supply.
To upgrade Korea-made AMOLED equipment technology, SMD and LGD continued not only with Korea equipment manufacturers to develop, funded through means of strengthening cooperation with each other, such as SMD investments by Korean SNUPrecision has developed a pro-development AMOLED panels of large size vertical evaporation equipment, as well as film packaging equipment.
With SMD gradually actively to Han factory procurement AMOLED device, its 5.5 generation line (1300x1500mm) device self-sufficiency rate (to procurement amount for benchmark) also has upgrade to 60%, not only so, LGD construction in the 8 generation line (2200x2500mm) also will to 50% device self-sufficiency rate for target, due to Korea Government accelerated promoting its AMOLED device self-sufficiency rate towards 80% towards, back Korea AMOLED new produced line Yu rely on overseas device factory degree will more explicit with reduced.
