Automobile Industry, will it be the foundation of OLED industry?

By Choong Hoon Yi

 

The use of OLED is now expected to be extended from interior light and rear lamp to display of automobiles.

According to the display industry, LG Display (LGD) is negotiating with German automakers for plastic OLED panel supply. LGD ranked 4th in auto display market following Taiwanese Innolux, Japan Display and Sharp of Japan. It aims to take over the global market by reaching 1 billion dollars in sales based on the OLED display by 2016.

Most of major panel makers are currently focusing on leading the auto display market. At SID 2014, the major panel makers including Japan Display, Sharp, AUO and Tianma mainly showed displays for vehicles. LGD also reinforces targeting auto display market by integrating future technologies including transparent display. A fierce competition is ahead among major display companies.

The flexibility and durability; shock- and vibration-resistant, of the OLED as well as the fact that transparent display can be realized with it will accelerate its entry to the auto display market.

For auto rear lamp and interior light, the major OLED lighting panel makers including LG Chem. and Osram are developing the OLED and a new market is within the reach. If the OLED rapidly forms the auto display market, it will become a great cornerstone of the OLED industry along with mobile, TV and general lighting.140704_자동차산업
