[The Hankyoreh, October 11 2007] Samsung to mass produce organic screens

Next-generation display screens could be used in mobile phones within the year

For the first time in the world, Samsung SDI will mass produce its two-inch AM-OLED panels, meaning that customers are likely to see their mobile phones equipped with what many call the next-generation of display screens within the year.

Samsung SDI, a unit of Samsung Group, said that it will produce 1.5 million units of AM-OLED, or active-matrix organic light emitting diode, screens every month and Sony, LG and Toshiba will likely follow suit soon, prompting fierce competition among display manufactures at home and abroad to preempt the emerging display market.
