Samsung SDI want to roll out bigger OLED Displays for monitor, notebook and TV in 2009, and in 2010, flexible display applications will also adopt AMOLED panels as well, according to Woo-Jong Lee, vice president, mobile display marketing team, Samsung SDI.

Currently the biggest issue with mass-producing AMOLED panels is production costs, but Lee explained once a capacity of three million units can be achieved, economies of scale are reached and production costs become more manageable. Lee pointed out that Samsung SDI will achieve a production capacity of three million panels in 2009, up from a current capacity of 1.5 million panels. The company also expects to double its capacity again by the end of 2010.
