September 23 news, according to foreign media reports, the OLED panel strength of Samsung Display and LG Display, is considering the use of larger size substrates, the production of smartphones other than IT equipment used OLED panels.
From the reports of foreign media, Samsung Display and LG Display, considering the use of 8.7 generation substrate, the two companies are working on research and development.
Compared with the 8.5 generation commonly used in the 8 generation substrate of these two companies, the 8.7 generation is larger in size, a substrate can cut more OLED panels required for IT equipment, saving time and costs, and less glass will be discarded, improving production efficiency.
Specifically, the 8.7 generation substrate measures 2290x2620mm, compared to 2200x2500mm for the 8.5 generation, an increase of nearly 10cm in both vertical and horizontal dimensions.
Although the 8.7 generation substrate can improve production efficiency but may require the use of new equipment, due to the increase in size, Samsung Display and LG Display, will not be able to use the 8.5 generation LCD production line equipment. The sources revealed that the two companies had considered the 8.5 generation OLED panel production line, the reuse of these devices.
It is worth noting that the foreign media mentioned in the report that the domestic panel manufacturer BOE, also may use 8.7 generation substrate to produce OLED panels, they have 8.7 generation substrate LCD panel production line, if they plan to have 8.7 generation OLED panel production line, the relevant equipment can be used.
