The Analysis of Chinese OLED Panel Development in 2012

OLED panel, as the next-generation display technology, has set off global research and development boom in recent years with prototype and new products continuously launched, world-renowned manufacturers are all successively involved in OLED device, materials, the R&D of production equipment as well as mass production, covering South Korea, Japan, Europe and the United States and Taiwan of China, enterprises in China mainland also have followed suit to accelerate industrialization of OLED technology, hoping to seize the development of strategic opportunity.

First: policy guidance plays an extremely important role. Countries all issued national strategy for the development of OLED, guiding OLED industry through the implementation of the industrial policy. South Korea, led by the government, promote the development of key material and equipment through the expansion of large enterprises; Japan adopts government leading, overall coordination, and coordinated development pattern, China should also continue to strengthen cross-sector cooperation, under the guidance of policy, to boost the cooperation between domestic raw material suppliers, equipment manufacturers, panel manufacturers and downstream terminal manufacturers, improve the capability of independent innovation, and jointly promote the construction of the OLED industry chain, based on key link.

Second, the cooperation between companies becomes development trend. The development of OLED technology should need the mutual cooperation of the entire industry chain including material, equipment, device manufacturing, and machine applications. Facing the combination of large foreign companies, Chinese domestic OLED industry should cooperate in the research of industry development strategy and major issues, in key technology research, industrial chain supporting, patent protection and sharing, standard research and development, information collection and collation.

Third, promote the integration of resources and joint development based on the link of industrial alliance, which is an important method boosting the rapid development of emerging industry. Chinese OLED Industry Alliance established in June 2011 formed six working groups of core technology, key supporting, intellectual property, standards, lighting, and market through organizing related enterprises, scientific research institutes, colleges and universities. The purpose is to directionally carry out the research work, guide upstream and downstream enterprises to implement the surmounting of core technology and ramp up the improvement of the industrial chain.
