OLED Capital Expenditure in South Korea is expected to reach US$7.2 billion in 2012

In order to enhance Korea's self-made AMOLED device technology, SMD and LGD not only continue to develop together with Korean equipment manufacturers, but also strengthen cooperation with each other through funding methods. For example, SNU-invested Korean factory SNU Precision has developed a large-size AMOLED panel. Vertical evaporation equipment, and thin film packaging equipment.


With SMD gradually procuring AMOLED equipment from Korean factories, the self-sufficiency rate of its 5.5-generation line (1,300 x 1,500mm) has increased to 60% (based on purchase amount). Not only that, the 8-generation line of LGD is under construction. (2,200×2,500mm) will also target 50% equipment self-sufficiency, as the Korean government accelerates its 80% self-sufficiency rate for AMOLED equipment, and the new South Korean AMOLED production line will depend on the degree of overseas equipment factories. Significantly lower.
