samsung display screens made in china

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.

Samsung’s HT690U displays enable premium hotel operators to meet guests’ rising expectations while improving their own efficiency. Through brilliant UHD picture quality and convenient room management, guests can enjoy the comforts of home and seamless two-way communication through their display.

Crystal Display ensures optimized color expression so guests can experience every subtle detail, immersing themselves in any content with a wider range of colors.

Samsung’s hospitality displays offer hotel guests the vivid picture quality of home entertainment systems. Through UHD upscaling technology, these refined displays showcase all content at UHD resolution (3,840 x 2,160), with four times the pixels of the FHD standard.

Beyond consistent UHD quality, Samsung’s displays bring the power of High Dynamic Range (HDR10+) picture refinement to any hotel room. Using dynamic metadata that fine-tunes each frame within a given program, HDR10+ technology delivers an optimal, detail-rich and memorable viewing experience.

Each Samsung hospitality display includes an intuitive, customizable home menu that streamlines content exchange between hotels and guests. Content managers can easily incorporate images, logos and feature icons specific to guest needs while reinforcing special offers and hotel branding.

Backed by the powerful TIZEN operating system, Samsung hospitality displays ensure secure content delivery across the application, platform and system layers.

Beyond its advanced graphics capabilities, Samsung’s H.Browser empowers smooth application development. All apps can be stored within the TIZEN OS and are supported by Web Simulator and Remote Web Inspector tools that further refine app performance and security.

Compatible with existing LAN, Wi-Fi and coaxial infrastructures, Samsung’s LYNK REACH 4.0 content platform centralizes and streamlines overall hotel maintenance. Hotel managers now can remedy issues across single displays or display groups before they escalate.

Samsung is pretty serious about its Galaxy A series and for a good reason - these midrange devices have been key to the good financial results of the Korean company in the past few years.

Normally, Samsung supplies all displays found in Galaxy devices but according to the latest rumors, the company might switch to a Chinese manufacturer in order to increase its profit margins.

According to a report (by the South Korean site TheElec), Samsung and the Chinese display manufacturer BOE are already developing screens for the 2022 Galaxy A73 phone. BOE is not the only option for Samsung, though - the Chinese company CSOT is also mentioned in the report.

Of course, there’s nothing official at the moment, and Samsung might just want to evaluate the quality of OLED displays manufactured by the two Chinese companies, in order to make a decision about its future Galaxy A lineup.

The display of the Galaxy A73 is rumored to be a 6.7-inch Full-HD+ (1080x2400 pixels) Super AMOLED screen with an aspect ratio of 20:9, a pixel density of 393ppi, and a refresh rate of 90Hz.

The Samsung Galaxy A73 will come equipped with a quad rear camera setup on the back, comprising of the aforementioned 108MP (f/1.8) primary sensor, a 12MP (f/2.2) ultra-wide lens, an 8MP (f/2.4) telephoto sensor, and a 5MP (f/2.4) macro camera. The selfie camera on the front is believed to be a 32MP (f/2.2).

The interesting part about this rumor piece is that Samsung is supposedly trying to increase its profit margins. This does make sense, as the Galaxy A series devices are selling like hot cocoa during a winter storm.

Samsung wants to keep Galaxy A prices steady but capitalize on the cheaper BOE displays to make a bigger profit. It’s easy to start pointing fingers and accuse the company of being a profit-oriented capitalistic organization (which it really is) but are BOE displays that bad of a deal?

Our take is that Samsung followed BOE’s development over the years and now the Chinese company can comply with all the requirements of a quality OLED display. Earlier this year Samsung announced that it will start putting BOE displays in Galaxy M series devices but there wasn’t any development on the subject.

And BOE has already proven itself - the company supplies OLED panels for Huawei phones, and even though the US trade ban practically obliterated Huawei’s market share, its phones sport some of the best hardware in the industry, including the displays.

Another interesting topic emerges from the above - Huawei’s demise reflected on BOE and the number of OLED panels ordered. The potential contract with Samsung could fill that void.

So, you shouldn’t worry too much about Samsung using Chinese OLED panels in its Galaxy A series. What’s worrying is that the company wants to increase its profits, even though it scored some of the highest results in the past few quarters.

SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korean panel maker Samsung Display has decided to end all of its production of liquid crystal display (LCD) panels in South Korea and China by the end of this year, a spokeswoman said on Tuesday.

Samsung Display, a unit of South Korean tech giant Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, said in October that it suspended one of its two LCD production lines at home amid falling demand for LCD panels and a supply glut.

The investment for the next five years will be focused on converting one of its South Korean LCD lines into a facility to mass produce more advanced “quantum dot” screens.

Samsung Display’s cross-town rival LG Display Co Ltd said earlier this year that it will halt domestic production of LCD TV panels by the end of 2020.

According to recent reports, LCD display manufacturing has now been taken over by Chinese manufacturers. Display makers like LG, Samsung, and others are now leaving the LCD display market for Chinese brands. These companies are now focusing on the OLED market. However, cheap smartphones will still make use of LCD displays. This means that more companies will now rely on these Chinese brands. According to a recent report, BOE may develop panels for Samsung’s entry-level models. These models will include the Samsung Galaxy A13, Galaxy A23, and other models.

Both Samsung and BOE are world-renowned screen R&D and product manufacturers. Their products are widely used by smartphone manufacturers. However, there are still some differences between the two. In addition to the related business of screen production, Samsung’s smartphones also occupy a considerable share of the market. However, BOE does not have its own smartphone products for the time being. The company focuses on supplying its displays to several mobile phone manufacturers.

As one of the most important screen manufacturers in China, BOE has close ties with various mobile phone manufacturers. This time, it was reported that among the iPhones made by Apple, the screens produced by BOE account for about 20% of the share. Apple is a world-renowned technology company, and it has always been strict with its products. Being able to enter Apple’s supply chain shows that BOE Screen is already very good in quality. Several other major Chinese manufacturers, such as Huawei and Xiaomi, also have many models that use BOE screens.

There is news that BOE is only developing panels for Samsung’s entry-level models. However, according to relevant industry sources, at the end of March, Samsung had proposed to BOE to supply the next-generation flagship smartphone panel. According to reports, both companies are currently discussing technical verification and contract signing. If this is true and goes well, perhaps we will see the appearance of Chinese screens on future Samsung flagship phones.

Samsung originally planned to stop the production of LCD panels by the end of 2020. However, the LCD panel market started to increase prices in the past year or so. This made Samsung’s LCD factory continue to operate for another two years. However, the company originally plans to exit the market at the end of 2022. Nevertheless, the LCD panel market has changed since the end of last year. The price has been falling significantly and it is now on a free fall. By January this year, the average price of a 32 -inch panel was only $ 38, a 64% drop relative to January last year.

Samsung Display, the display-making unit of Samsung Electronics, said the decision was made to provide more resources for its quantum dot (QD) displays.

The factories that still produce LCD panels are based in Asan, South Korea and Suzhou, China. The majority of the LCD panels produced by these factories are used by Samsung Electronics" TV business for the production of its QLED TV brand.

The move by Samsung Display to end LCD production was widely expected following the company"s announcement in October to invest $11 billion into QD displays.

Separately, Hikvision, which is traditionally known for its video surveillance equipment, has launched a new range of LED displays. It is the company"s first foray into the commercial display market.

Chinese media outlet ZOL analyses that, if this news is true, it indicates that the quality of Chinese displays and screens has reached the international level. This is also the first time that Samsung would adopt Chinese screens instead of Samsung’s own products. As for suppliers, BOE is reportedly not the only supplier of Samsung Galaxy A73 2022, and TCL will also provide OLED screens for Samsung in the future.

At present, there are very few details released about the configuration of Samsung Galaxy A73. What can be sure now is that this mobile phone will be released early next year, with a screen size of 6.7 inches, a screen aspect ratio of 20: 9 and a refresh rate of 90Hz.

Samsung’s iPhone display business is under growing threat from Chinese competitor BOE, which is gearing up to match the production of the Korean supplier …

When Apple launched the iPhone X, Samsung was the only OLED supplier able to meet the Cupertino company’s exacting requirements for both sophistication and yield. Since then, Apple has added both LG and BOE as secondary iPhone display suppliers, but Samsung has retained the bulk of the orders.

Chinese display giant BOE was in the process of converting its three factories __ B7, B11 and B12 __ to manufacture smartphone flexible OLED panels for Apple, analyst firm UBI Research has claimed.

Because of this, BOE will likely overtake LG Display as the larger OLED supplier for iPhones by 2023, UBI Research CEO Choong Hoon Yi said at an online seminar on Friday.

There will, however, be more Apple OLED business to come. Reports point to the possibility of OLED iPads in 2024, and OLED MacBooks in 2025, en route to the longer-term switch to microLED. (The latest flagship models of both iPads and MacBooks currently use IPS LCD displays with miniLED backlighting.)

ETNews reports that Samsung Display has signed a deal to supply foldable displays select smartphone makers in China. The plan is to start shipping the displays in the third quarter and to deliver 1 million units before the end of the year.

This will lead to several foldable phones being announced in the second half of 2021. According to insiders, Oppo and vivo will be launching phones, other companies may be involved as well. The company will be supplying both large horizontal folding screens (like on the Z Fold) and smaller vertical folding screens (Z Flip).

So far the only buyer of Samsung Display’s foldable panels has been Samsung Electronics (which uses them in the Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip phones). SD has been trying to sign on other buyers for the last few years, but things didn’t go as planned.

Huawei was lined up to make a purchase, however the US sanctions against the company threw a wrench in those plans. Instead, Huawei has been using foldable displays from BOE. Another company in China that is making foldable displays is CSOT.

Samsung Display is currently the only one using Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) in its foldable displays, which gives it the edge. However, reports from November indicate that BOE plans to launch panels with UTG as well.

Anyway, Samsung Display is forecasted to produce over 10 million foldable panels this year. Only 1 million of those is headed for China, the rest are going to Samsung Electronics. The table above shows shipment predictions for panels of each type.

Samsung"s Quantum Dot technology delivers a full 100% color volume, while Dual LED technology increases contrast based on backlight temperature for optimal color tone. Together they provide incredibly realistic color that preserves rich detail and texture — even at wide angles.

When a guest is nearby, Motion Sensor detects their presence, automatically turning the TV display into artwork that can be enjoyed. As guests leave the area, the display turns off to save energy.

In 1991, a business unit called Samsung Display was formed to produce the panels used in products made by its parent company, Samsung Electronics. Afterward, it was a leading supplier of LCD panels not just for Samsung Electronics but for other companies in the industry as well.

Add to that the fact that emerging technologies like QD-OLED are the future for TV and monitors, and the case for keeping Samsung Display"s LCD business going becomes a hard one to make.

It was previously reported that Samsung planned to sunset the business at the end of 2020, but The Korea Times claims that the faster-than-expected falloff in consumer demand accelerated the timeline.

Samsung Display will now focus heavily on OLED and quantum dot. Most of the employees working in the LCD business will move to quantum dot, the publication claims.

The Korea Times has accurately reported similar stories like this before, but it has also occasionally missed the mark, so keep an eye out for an official statement from Samsung.

Even if there isn"t a statement about a change in direction, the writing has been on the wall for Samsung"s LCD business. Unless something radical changes, it"s more a question of when than if at this point.

By Lee Kyung-minSamsung Display has decided to close its liquid-crystal display (LCD) business in June, hobbled by a declining global competitive edge due to cheaper products made by its Chinese and Taiwanese counterparts, according to the industry, Sunday. No investment plan details have since been announced.The decision by the display affiliate of Samsung Group came six months sooner than expected, due in large part to rapid losses from falling LCD prices.According to Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC), a U.S. market research firm, the average price index of LCD panels, measured against 100 in January 2014, will fall to 36.6 in September of this year. The figure has dropped farther from the record low of 41.5 in April of this year, and 58 percent lower than the record high of 87 in June 2021.Also factored in was Samsung Electronics, the largest buyer of Samsung Display products, partnering with overseas LCD suppliers, including BOE Technology Group, a Chinese electronic components producer and AU Optronics Corp. (AUO), a Taiwanese LCD panel maker.The display affiliate initially sought to close its LCD business in late 2020, but the plan was delayed at the request of its parent company, Samsung Electronics, due to a sudden spike in LCD prices amid the COVID-19 pandemic.Samsung Display will no longer produce LCDs used for large TV screens and focus instead on manufacturing organic light-emitting diode (OLED) and quantum dot (QD) displays. The employees of the LCD businesses are expected to be transferred to the QD businesses.The display affiliate was first formed in 1991, as an LCD business arm under Samsung Electronics. It formally launched in 2012 as Samsung Display and has since merged with three local and Japanese makers of active matrix organic light-emitting diodes (AMOLED), for the production of advanced types of displays.Samsung Display was unavailable for comment.

SEOUL -- South Korea"s Samsung Display has received a license from the U.S. government to supply its panels to Huawei Technologies, making it the first company in Asia known to have been given the greenlight to continue doing business with the Chinese tech giant, an industry source familiar with the matter said Tuesday.

"Samsung Display received approval to supply some of its products to Huawei," said the source, who has direct knowledge of the matter but asked not to be named.

Apple has reportedly sealed the deal with BOE for manufacturing screens for its upcoming line-up of flagship smartphones in the iPhone 14 series. It has been reported that the deal has been signed at a whopping USD 7.75 million. According to the contract, BOE will be manufacturing 25 per cent of the OLED displays for the iPhone 14 series.

BOE will only produce 6.1-inch panels under the contract. This means that the vanilla models in the iPhone 14 line-up will use displays by BOE, while the iPhone 14 Max and Pro Max models will likely stick to screens manufactured by LG and Samsung. This is the first time that the Chinese brand, known for its expertise in manufacturing displays, will be making displays for iPhones.

The company has been making waves in the tech market ever since it started making OLED panels in 2021. BOE has reported a 60 per cent hike in its production in 2021. Owing to its rapid growth, the brand has consolidated its position as the top display manufacturer in China.
