Worldwide OLED revenue has set a new record, with $192 million in revenue for Q2 ’09, up 32% Q/Q and 22% Y/Y. DisplaySearch forecasts that the total OLED display market will grow to $6.2 billion by 2016 from $0.6 billion in 2008, with a CAGR of 33%. Mobile phone main displays will be the leading application with revenues of about $3 billion in 2016; OLED TV will be the second largest application, with revenues of about $2 billion in 2016.

AMOLED (active-matrix organic light-emitting diode) shipments grew due to strong mobile phone main display shipments that were related to promotion of AMOLED mobile phones by Samsung Electronics, Nokia, and Sony Ericsson in the first half of 2009. More than 15 mobile phone models with AMOLED main displays were released in 2009.

PMOLED (passive-matrix organic light-emitting diode) technology maintained its unit shipment leadership in the OLED display market. After a weak Q1 ’09, PMOLED shipments stabilized in Q2 ’09 due to growth in mobile phone sub-display applications.

Samsung Mobile Display (SMD) had a strong Q2 ’09, and as a result, maintained the leading position in shipments with 38% market share, followed by RiTdisplay.

“AMOLED displays have become an important differentiating feature for high-end electronic products,” noted Jennifer Colegrove, PhD, Director of Display Technologies at DisplaySearch. “This technology is not only used for mobile phone main displays, but has also penetrated the market for portable media players, digital still cameras, and other applications. There will be about 20 new or upgraded AMOLED production lines installed or upgraded worldwide in the next three years,” Colegrove added.

Here at Flatvision our newly developed ‘Transflective RuggedVision’ range of displays, available in sizes ranging from 8.4” up to 42”, have been designed to suit a wide variety of outdoor and challenging environment applications, where enhanced all weather viewing capabilities, high reliability and low power consumption are critical factors.

South Korea is planning to purchase its first stealth fighter jets ahead of schedule to enhance its capabilities to counter North Korea’s increasing provocations, a defence official has said. “There is a growing consensus within the government that the third phase fighter acquisition programme should be launched at the earliest date possible,” he stated.

“It usually takes about four years for the first shipment of aircraft after a contract is signed, which means the new fighter jets can start to be deployed as early as 2015,” he added.

The fifth-generation combat aircraft will replace the aging South Korean Air Force fighters. South Korea previously purchased 60 F-15K fighters from Boeing and is considering purchasing jets with partial stealth capabilities, such as Boeing’s F-15 aircraft, the Silent Eagle (SE).
