tft lcd samsung factory

Samsung Display (Hangul: 삼성디스플레이), formerly S-LCD Corporation (Hangul: 에스 엘시디, Japanese: エス・エルシーディー), is a South Korean manufacturer of OLED panels and formerly a manufacturer of amorphous TFT LCD panels, owned by Samsung Electronics.

The company was established in April 2004 in Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea as a joint venture between Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd (51% share) and Sony Corporation (now known as Sony Group Corporation)(49% share).

S-LCD, as of April 25, 2008, operated with a monthly production capacity of 100,000 seventh-generation amorphous silicon (a-Si) panels and 50,000 eighth-generation panels based on PVA technology,Samsung Electronics and Sony LCD televisions. S-LCD originally had production facilities in both Japan and South Korea. Due to rising costs and an increasing demand from the Latin American market, S-LCD opened production facilities in Baja California, Mexico, where both Samsung and Bravia have large LCD production facilities.

On December 26, 2011, Samsung Electronics announced that it will acquire all of Sony"s shares. On January 19, 2012, Sony sold to Samsung all of its shares of S-LCD for 1.07 trillion Korean won (72 billion Japanese yen) in cash.

2008: Sony and Samsung announce that due to increased demand, a second eighth-generation production line will operate in the S-LCD factory in the second quarter of 2009.Sharp Corporation, in order to compete effectively with Samsung, a task made difficult by their current collaboration.

December 2011: The company"s partners announce that Samsung will acquire Sony"s entire stake in the joint venture, making S-LCD Corporation a wholly owned subsidiary of Samsung Electronics.

“For Samsung Mobile Display, there may be not enough AM-OLED displays to supply to companies other than its affiliate Samsung Electronics,” Kim Sung-in, an analyst at Kiwoom Securities, said. Samsung Mobile Display has an annual production capacity of 35 million units.

HTC, who has been using AMOLED extensively in its recent Android handsets, appears to be directly affected, with the shortage affecting its ability to keep up with demand.  Samsung controls 98% of the worlds AMOLED production.

This has led the company to switch to Sony’s S-LCD technology in some of the handsets. S-LCD is supposed to offer similar performance to AMOLED, and to be be virtually indistinguishable.

Samsung has recently broken ground for a new $2.1 billion production facility inTangjeong, South Chungcheong Province, which should increase its capacity from 3 million to 30 million per month, but it will only go online in July 2011.

The Windows Phone 7 operating system is said to be optimised for OLED technology, and with Samsung being one of the lead Windows Phone 7 OEMs the shortage may affect the launch later this year of new handsets with the technology also.

Samsung Display will stop producing LCD panels by the end of the year. The display maker currently runs two LCD production lines in South Korea and two in China, according to Reuters. Samsung tells The Verge that the decision will accelerate the company’s move towards quantum dot displays, while ZDNetreports that its future quantum dot TVs will use OLED rather than LCD panels.

The decision comes as LCD panel prices are said to be falling worldwide. Last year, Nikkei reported that Chinese competitors are ramping up production of LCD screens, even as demand for TVs weakens globally. Samsung Display isn’t the only manufacturer to have closed down LCD production lines. LG Display announced it would be ending LCD production in South Korea by the end of the 2020 as well.

Last October Samsung Display announced a five-year 13.1 trillion won (around $10.7 billion) investment in quantum dot technology for its upcoming TVs, as it shifts production away from LCDs. However, Samsung’s existing quantum dot or QLED TVs still use LCD panels behind their quantum dot layer. Samsung is also working on developing self-emissive quantum-dot diodes, which would remove the need for a separate layer.

Samsung’s investment in OLED TVs has also been reported by The Elec. The company is no stranger to OLED technology for handhelds, but it exited the large OLED panel market half a decade ago, allowing rival LG Display to dominate ever since.

Although Samsung Display says that it will be able to continue supplying its existing LCD orders through the end of the year, there are questions about what Samsung Electronics, the largest TV manufacturer in the world, will use in its LCD TVs going forward. Samsung told The Vergethat it does not expect the shutdown to affect its LCD-based QLED TV lineup. So for the near-term, nothing changes.

One alternative is that Samsung buys its LCD panels from suppliers like TCL-owned CSOT and AUO, which already supply panels for Samsung TVs. Last year The Elec reported that Samsung could close all its South Korean LCD production lines, and make up the difference with panels bought from Chinese manufacturers like CSOT, which Samsung Display has invested in.

Samsung has also been showing off its MicroLED display technology at recent trade shows, which uses self-emissive LED diodes to produce its pixels. However, in 2019 Samsung predicted that the technology was two or three years away from being viable for use in a consumer product.

Seoul, June 11 (Yonhap) -- Samsung Electronics Co. said Wednesday it will start construction of seventh-generation (7G) TFT-LCD assembly lines in central Korea early next month.

"By 2010, we will spend about 20 trillion won (US$1.67 billion) on building 7G TFT-LCD assembly lines at the 2 million square meter LCD complex in Asan, South Chungcheong Province," a Samsung official said. "We will be able to mass produce products from early 2005."

Last month, Samsung Electronics, Korea"s largest company, announced plans for producing 7G thin film transistor-liquid crystal displays (TFT-LCDs). The size of 7G TFT-LCD is 1,870mm X 2,200mm, which means its productivity is three times that of the fifth-generation and twice that of the sixth-generation.

Samsung decided to leapfrog from the 5G TFT-LCD (1,100mm x 1,300mm) to the 7G one over the 6G TFT-LCD. Samsung"s decision was largely seen as a strategy to secure more competitiveness in the rapidly expanding LCD-TV market.

"It is expected to create jobs for 10,000 by 2010 whether directly or indirectly related to the plant in the Asan area and sales will likely reach 10 trillion won every year after 2010," said Lee Sang-wan, president of Samsung Electronics.
