South Korea OLED industry as a medium and long term development goals

2010 World display market with the expansion of domestic demand is expected to reach China, the growth rate of 13%.

OLED is the future direction of the development of the monitor, many countries have introduced the corresponding industry promotion policies to vigorously promote the development of Oled technology. South Korea as a big country with a large display, Samsung, LG and a number of internationally competitive display manufacturers. In order to seize the future of the display market, the Ministry of knowledge economy of South Korea in its launch of a number of development strategies in the development of OLED industry as an important development goals.

South Korea's Ministry of knowledge economy in January 2009 issued the "South Korea green IT national strategy" outlined the current situation of the development of OLED technology in korea. The United States, Europe, Japan and other countries are also actively promoting alternative incandescent lamp, fluorescent lamp and other traditional light source OLED technology research and development. The United States an average annual investment of $3 billion in R & D funding for the development of OLED lighting, plans to be developed in 2012 to improve the efficiency of the OLED lighting equipment 200%. While South Korea is still in the initial stage of OLED light source core technology research and development.

In this strategy, the South Korean government said that by 2011 will complete the development of OLED lighting core patented technology, in 2012 to promote the use of OLED lighting equipment, improve the efficiency of the use of electricity, reducing power consumption by 5 times. The government hopes that through the development of OLED technology, through the integration of lighting and IT technology, to create a new generation of energy-saving environmental protection lighting industry, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of the country. Plan to 2027 will be 100% of the lighting equipment are replaced by OLED lighting equipment, energy consumption decreased by more than in 2007 (street lamp 30 billion won), greenhouse gas emissions by less than 6% in.

In addition, in May 19th this year, the South Korean government has launched a new "display industry trends and solutions", clear OLED development goal is to 2013 to become the world's first to achieve AM-OLED display panel production countries, leading the development of a new generation of display market. By 2015, South Korea entered the era of basic display. South Korea to allow domestic display equipment products and spare parts materials, in the South Korean market share expanded to 70% (current share of 50%).

In the display industry trends and solutions, the South Korean government will OLED industry as a medium and long term development goals. The purpose is to make the final South Korea to become the world's first AM OLED TV and OLED lighting panel production, and ensure the competitiveness of core technology in flexible display, printed a new generation display field.

In order to accomplish AM OLED TV production, the South Korean government on the core production equipment and materials of the ongoing research projects to provide strong support, will be expanded to the development of the eighth generation technology in the future. In 2010, the government invested 75 trillion won, the coating technology of the existing 5.5 generation AM OLED panel with horizontal and vertical conversion technology connected with horizontal and vertical. In addition, the same year also invested 1 billion won for the development of core organic materials. Private capital investment is expected in 2010-2013 years for 10 trillion won, AM OLED panel production equipment investment.

In order to research and develop a new generation of environmentally friendly OLED lighting market core equipment, the South Korean government plans to vigorously promote the development of OLED lighting industry technology. In 2010 to invest 7 billion won for the development of the OLED generation of the fourth generation of OLED lighting panel production equipment, while training personnel and design and development of lighting.

At the same time, the South Korean government will provide flexible support for flexible core technology, technology and equipment research and development. Can be used to replace the existing flexible plastic display glass substrate technology in 2010 to invest 10 billion won, 2 billion 200 million won investment for AM coating on the flexible substrate OLED technology, at the same time will also be on the low temperature plasma display equipment of flexible production equipment research and development, and has formed the scale at the market in 2015.
