Development of Leading AM-OLED Makers in Korea, Japan, and Taiwan

Following two years of OLED panel plant closures and takeovers, 2007 saw the breakthrough in AM-OLED technology. With Korean and Taiwanese manufacturers kicking off volume production of small and medium-sized AM-OLED panel, and with Sony launching new TV models that use AM-OLED panel, AM-OLED has become a major focus of attention, and is widely considered to have significant growth potential. This report will present the development of this new-generation panel technology, the obstacles in terms of technology development, and the challenges that manufacturers will face in the future. Leading AM-OLED panel makers' strategies and Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese manufacturers' market development will also be discussed.
