LG Display will start mass-production of AMOLED in 2008


Another time some good news for the OLED-Display market.
LG Display will start mass-production of Active Matrix (AM) Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) within this year. CEO Young-soo Kwon of LG Display will report the strategy to CEO Bon-moo Koo of LG Group, which signals that the company plans to make a massive investment for the strategy on the group level.
Eastman Kodak Company today announced an intellectual property cross-licensing agreement with LG Display Co., Ltd., of Korea.

In March LG and Kodak signs some agreement for OLED.
The license, which is royalty bearing to Kodak, enables LG Display to use Kodak technology, including yield-improving capabilities for Active Matrix OLED (AMOLED) modules, in a variety of small to medium size display applications such as mobile phones, portable media players, picture frames, and small TVs. The agreement also enables LG Display to purchase Kodak's patented OLED materials for use in manufacturing displays. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

"As we said during our recent investor meeting, OLED is an important technology that will help fuel Kodak?s future growth. Our goal is to see AMOLED panels that have been co-developed continue to appear in the industry during 2008," said Mary Jane Hellyar, President, Kodak Display Business, and Executive Vice President, Eastman Kodak Company.
