To save the slide, Samsung began supplying AMOLED panels to Chinese handset makers, the first time Samsung supplied AMOLED panels to Chinese AMOLED. It is understood that Samsung is currently the world's largest AMOLED panel manufacturers, Samsung's Galaxy series of smartphones have been using its best AMOLED panel, performance is not exclusive 2K high resolution, but also an important feature is Samsung's own mobile phone use of OLED panel integration Wa-oc The touch function of TA technology, so that there is no need for a separate touch panel (TSP). Not only reduces the cost of the screen, but also makes the screen more frivolous.
With WA-OCTA technology AMOLED panel since 2016 with the Samsung Note 7 smartphone, has been Samsung mobile phone exclusive, has never been exported to other companies. However, the situation is different now, as Apple cuts the current iphone X order with the AMOLED screen, and 2018 will further launch the LCD screen version of the iphone. Plus China's mobile phone companies are also starting to use LCD panels on full screen handsets, so in the market for A MoLED demand has declined, making Samsung's AMOLED capacity utilization decline.
It has also been noted that Samsung has further adjusted the AMOLED panel offer to narrow the price gap with the LCD panel. Only, in the total Total action benefit is not significant, Samsung also began to move the inclusion of WA-OCTA technology AMOLED panel export ideas.
South Korean media "Etnews" reported that April 27, 2018, Samsung to China's mobile phone manufacturers OPPO to provide this screen for the previous release of the Find X smartphone, which is Samsung's first export such panels to China's brand mobile phone factory. In addition to Chinese companies, Samsung hopes to continue to win Apple's favor. Because of Apple's annual mobile phone shipments of up to 200 million, is the market big buyers. However, Apple has always been using independent TSP touch panels. Therefore, if Samsung succeeds in selling Apple's integrated panels with WA-OCTA technology, it will not only be able to load the sea for Samsung AMOLED-panel capacity, but also have a significant impact on the global TSP industry.
