Samsung and LG to go head to head in the OLED panel business

Korean rivals Samsung and LG are looking to change their strategies in the OLED display panel business to compete with each other. Samsung is going to make a substantial investment in OLED TV panel manufacturing while LG is planning to invest in smaller OLED display panels for smartphones.

According to sources in the display industry, Samsung is planning to install large OLED panel manufacturing equipment in Tangjeong, South Chungcheong Province in Q3, 2016 with an initial investment of 2-3 trillion Korean Won. Samsung Display is currently said to be conducting final tests on its eight-generation OLED panel manufacturing technology.

So it sounds like if this happens, while the TVs will be made in 2016, these will likely be 2017 models. So actually next year, not this year.

Awesome. I love the idea of LG having competition in the OLED market.

If Sony made consumer OLED tvs they could potentially wipe LG out of the high end market. Their mastering studio OLED screens are supposed to be unbelievable.
