As Apple is expected to introduce OLED panels on smart phones in 2018, it may trigger the follow-up adoption of various mobile phone brands. Jing Bing Chairman Li Bingjie and Longda Chairman Su Fengzheng all agree that it will impact the small-size LED backlight output value. , The fastest may emerge in 2018.

Since the OLED panel is self-luminous, since it does not require the characteristics of the backlight source, it can reduce the thickness of the panel, and it also caters to the trend of lightness and thinness, but also because it does not require the characteristics of the backlight source, the backlight module factory and the LED factory are named new technologies. Victims of the change, as Apple expects to introduce OLED specifications in some models in 2018, and release huge purchase orders to Samsung, OLED panel technology seems to mature, and the impact on the LED industry has caused concern.

Jing Bing Chairman Li Bingjie pointed out at LED Taiwan that OLED is a surface light source and there are still surface light sources in domestic LED lighting that cannot be achieved. The rise of OLED has a good impact on home lighting. In backlighting, he believes that LCD and OLED There is currently a spread, which has little effect on large-size applications, mainly on small-sized panels.

He pointed out that if Apple adopts OLED panels in 2018, there will be little impact on Taiwanese companies because Taiwan does not have an Apple supply chain, but Apple's actions will attract other brands to follow up, which will impact the output value of small-size LED backlights.

Longda chairman Su Feng stated that the number of LEDs used in the backlight is related to the area. Although he believes that the rise of OLED will affect the demand for small-size LEDs, it is due to the wide range of LED applications and mobile phones, NBs, monitors, flat panels, and TVs. , TV mainstream size to move more than 40 inches, the overall increase, the impact on the overall output value should be limited.

Nissan said on the dinner table that OLEDs still face challenges in terms of product stability and quantity, and LED performance continues to increase. Even if Apple only adopts certain models, LED will not be completely replaced.

Taiwan ITRI statistics show that although the OLED lighting market size was less than US$100 million in 2015, it is expected that with the introduction and promotion of soft OLED lighting in 2016, coupled with the introduction of automotive applications, it is expected that the OLED lighting market will have a better performance. Great growth. IDTechEx expects that the OLED lighting market will grow from less than 200 million U.S. dollars, to 20 million to 1.9 billion U.S. dollars.
