Universal Display Samsung Agreement

Samsung`s new flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S4, features a Full HD of 4.99″ (1920×1080, 441 PPI) Super AMOLED Display behind a Corning Gorilla Glass 3. [10] On February 8, the company announced that it had signed an OLED evaluation agreement with Kunshan Govisionox Optoelectronics, a Chinese manufacturer of AMOLED. A week later, it announced another agreement with Samsung Display and said that long-term supply and licensing agreements would continue to support the partnership with the Korean display giant. Ewing, NJ and Seoul, South Korea-Universal Display Corporation and Samsung Mobile Display have entered into licensing and purchase agreements for OLED display products. Market research firm iSuppli sees the flexible OLED display market grow significantly from 2013 to 2020. Their estimates are for a market value of $21 million in 2013 to $100 million in 2014 and $12 billion by 2020. IHS says this will lead to “unprecedented changes in flat screens.” [45] Both LG and Samsung believe that flexible screens will account for up to 40% of the smartphone maker by 2018. [46] The announcement by the manufacturer of universal light emitting diode (OLED) technology to have colored an agreement with the display unit of Samsung Electronics (005930.Korea), its largest customer, is positive, but not everything the company needs this morning, according to a statement from Hendi Susanto of Gabelli and Co. Oled Displays is expected to dominate the Smartwatches market with a 58% market share. [21] UBI Research has published a new report on OLED flexible screens that predicts very rapid growth: from 20 million units in 2012 to 150 million units in 2013. UBI has flexible OLED revenue of $6.3 billion in 2017. This is much more optimistic than the latest market report from Markets and Markets, which sees the entire flexible display market at $3.2 billion in 2017.

[42] In January 2015, LG Display signed a long-term agreement with UDC for the supply of OLED materials and the right to use their patented OLED transmitters. LG is a leader in push for OLED TVs. [35] We believe that annual revenue forecasts for 2018 remain very important, as investors will measure the magnitude of materials revenue growth and the growth trajectory of royalties and royalties, including Samsung`s licensing agreement. We believe that management will take a cautious approach and share conservative directions in line with our expectations. . . . We believe that the main drivers of the OLED display in 2018 are Samsung, Apple, LG and BOE. The new OLED display production capacity by existing readers will take some time in 2018. Similarly, new manufacturers of OLED screens need time to increase their production capacity and efficiency.

Apple`s marketing is an important demand stimulator in the OLED display market. The race for the second supplier of OLED screens for Apple will continue. We consider LG and BOE to be the closest potential suppliers. It is thought that Apple could extend its introduction to the OLED screen to two iPhone models in the next iteration. The production of OLED screens can only be seen in a limited way in the second half of 2018. In case you missed it, Universal Display (OLED), a technology manufacturer to allow so-called organic light-emitting diode, or OLED, screens on phones and televisions, said this morning that there was a new agreement, by 2022, to supply materials to Samsung Electronics (005930KS), already the largest universal customer, with 43% of Universal`s sales in the last quarter. In October 2013, Samsung released the first curved display smartphone called Galaxy Round. Samsung has also introduced the “roll” effect which, when the phone`s screen is turned off and rolled, displays basic information such as time or battery percentage. [13] While IT is possible to bend LCD screens, analysts say that OLED screens offer better technical advantages. [14] The Flexible Display Center has announced that it has successfully produced the world`s largest flexible color prototype, AMOLED, with advanced mixed oxide (TFT) thin-film transistors.
