Panasonic would equipment purchased for the production of oled-panels with a diagonal screen size of 60″. The equipment would be used for the creation of a 8.5 G oled production line in a factory in the Japanese Himeji.
According to the website of the Japanese newspaper Asahi goes Panasonic equipment for a pilot production of oled panels, so read on Flatpanelshd. The moederglas of 8.5 G production lines is typically 2.5 at 2.2 metres tall, which oled-panels up to 55″ or 60″ cut. Also, smaller panels of 32″ efficiently from the glass substrate.
The 8.5 G production line is installed in a factory of Panasonic in Himeji, which is currently lcd’s are produced. The monthly production capacity is currently approximately 810.000 lcd’s. Mass production of oled panels would be the proeflijn not be possible, but in the future the whole plant will be converted for the production of oled panels for hdtv’s.
According to the site Oled-display, there is big chance that Panasonic for the production are going to cooperate with Sumitomo Chemical. The two announced in 2009 a partnership for the development of larger oled panels, and the expectation was then that the first fruits thereof in 2011 picked could be.
Sumitomo Chemical made at the end of november announced a new oled material based on polymers have been developed, which allows the production costs of oled panels is reduced by half.
Competitors Samsung and LG would be already in the second half of 2012 a large oled tv’s want to introduce, at least on a limited scale. Both Korean electronics companies go to CES, already, each with a prototype of a 55″-oled-tv show.
