In the upstream of the panel, Yongjie Polymer, a chemical raw material manufacturer, said today that the current Taiwan-developed foldable AMOLED products have incomplete board integration technology. The main technology gap is the existing protective cover plate, and the substrates are too thick to be flexible. The goal.
Yongjie Polymer pointed out that in response to the above phenomenon, AMOLED upstream and downstream manufacturers have improved their problems through alliances and division of labor, including the integration of polarizing films, transparent polyimide substrates, and hard material suppliers to carry out integrated development to optimize the overall structural design. Let AMOLED panel products have high reliability, and can be folded repeatedly.
Yongjie said that since the last year's technology transfer of key components and components of the ITRI's foldable organic light-emitting diode display, it has actively invested in research and development of high-hardness, wear-resistant materials formulas, cultivated relevant talents, built production equipment, and greatly assisted in the ITRI. Next, it successfully cooperated with two famous domestic technology companies to invest in the “integrated development plan for ultra-thin multifunctional upper board integrated with AMOLED” and received a subsidy from the Ministry of Economic Affairs' integrated R&D program.
Yongjie believes that the implementation of the plan will facilitate the formation of R&D teams of alliance manufacturers, technology upgrades, and domestic and foreign market expansion, and will be able to complete the cascaded AMOLED industrial chain, assist in the upgrading of domestic panel industry, and promote the development of the domestic soft display industry. Strengthen the competitiveness of domestic system factories in the international market.
The global market research agency IHS analyzed that the global revenue of AMOLED panels that can be folded since the third quarter of 2017 will exceed that of rigid AMOLED panels for the first time. In 2017, the global turnover of AMOLED panel revenues increased by 150% compared to 2016; Flex AMOLED panel revenue will look at 4.5 million US dollars.
