Kodak orders 7.6 inch OLED panels from CMEL


Good News this morning Kodak order 7.6 inch AMOLED panels from CMEL.

CMEL, an OLED specialist wholly owned by LCD panel maker Chi Mei Optoelectronics (CMO), is expected to start volume production of its 7.6-inch panels in September, with shipments going to Kodak for digital photo frames that are meant to be marketed during the upcoming holiday shopping seasons, the sources said.

The 7.6-inch panel will mark CEML's debut in the medium-size market after volume production of small-size OLED panels started more than a year ago.

Although demand for digital photo frames is not picking up as strongly as expected, models equipped with the more expensive OLED panels are targeting a different higher-end market, the sources commented. CMEL's 7.6-inch OLED panels may also find their ways into top-of-the line applications in the car electronics and UMPC markets, the sources added.
