Performance Introduction and Application of Automobile Display Screen

In recent years, the application of analog display screen in automobile industry has been declining, and the application of digital display screen has increased significantly. In this trend, in order to create a high-quality driving experience, two digital display solutions stand out.The first is liquid crystal display (LCD), which is standard in the automotive industry. LCD technology has been quite mature and popular. Many suppliers in the market can provide this kind of automobile level LCD with good color rendering. It will not have residual shadow problems and its service life is equivalent to that of automobile.TV with curved screen design

Performance Introduction and Application of Automobile Display Screen 1

However, when automotive designers try new internal designs such as curved screen or suspended display, it is very important to greatly reduce the thickness and improve the flexibility of the display. At the same time, automobile manufacturers also need higher definition and pixel display, so as to present richer and clearer images for drivers and create a better driving experience.The second solution, organic light emitting diode display (OLED), which has attracted more and more attention, can just meet these requirements. This display has excellent flexibility and can present rich and bright colors, which is widely used in the consumer electronics market.

However, OLED still faces many challenges in automotive applications. Although OLED can realize rich and bright colors, it also brings the residual image problem, resulting in that the screen can still see the previous residual image when displaying the current image. Similarly, although OLED can bring excellent brightness and contrast, its service life will be shortened accordingly. In this way, the screen may be replaced every two years or so. This is obviously not feasible, especially at present, the average service life of vehicles is more than 11 years. In addition, the cost of OLED is still much higher than that of LCD.

For Delphi, we will constantly evaluate and test all solutions and continue to innovate, including considering the maturity of OLED technology in the automotive market, so as to find the most ideal automotive display technology route and provide customers with the best solution.

Design of Backlight LED Driver for New Automobile Display Screen
Design of Backlight LED Driver for New Automobile Display Screen
introductionAccording to the research of strategies unlimited, the market scale of high brightness LED is expected to reach US $8.2 billion in 2010, and it is expected to grow to US $20.2 billion by 2015, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 30.6%. At present, the LED used to backlight the display screen is the main driving factor of this growth. Its applications include high-definition TV, automobile display screen, a large number of handheld devices and so on. To maintain a high growth rate, LEDs not only need to provide higher reliability, lower power consumption and smaller / flatter overall size, but also need to improve contrast, image quality, clarity and color accuracy. In addition, automotive, avionics and ship displays should also be suitable for a variety of environmental lighting conditions, such as bright sunlight, dark night, etc. These transistor liquid crystal displays (TFT-LCDs) are widely used. From infotainment systems, meters to a variety of instruments, backlighting these displays with LEDs will bring some unique LED IC driver design challenges in order to optimize the readability of the display under a variety of environmental lighting conditions, This requires that the LED driver can provide a very wide dimming range and high efficiency, and withstand the test of relatively harsh and harsh automotive electrical and physical environment. Finally, these solutions must be flat and compact in board area to improve cost-effectiveness.The rapid growth of LED in the automotive lighting market is due to the following factors: first, the luminous efficiency of LED is more than 10 times higher than that of incandescent lamp, almost twice that of fluorescent lamp, including cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL), which reduces the provision of a certain amount of light output (lumen as a unit) The required electric power and the heat generated by it. With the further development of LED, the efficiency of generating lumens with electric power will only continue to improve. Secondly, LED lighting does not need to deal with, contact and remove the common toxic mercury vapor in CCFL / fluorescent lamps, which well meets the requirements of green environmental protection. Thirdly, incandescent lamps need to be replaced every 1000 hours The continuous service time of light lamps reaches 10000 hours, compared with the service life of LEDs more than 100000 hours. In most applications, this allows LEDs to be permanently embedded in the final application without accessories. This is particularly important for the backlighting of instrument / navigation / infotainment system display embedded in the interior of the vehicle, because they are very important during the life of the vehicle Never need to be replaced. In addition, the LED is several orders of magnitude smaller and flat than other lights, so the LCD display can be very thin, so the space required in the interior of the car is the smallest. In addition, by using the red, green and blue LED configuration, it can provide an unlimited variety of colors. The LED can also adjust the light and turn on / off at a much faster speed than the human eye can detect, so as to display The backlight of LCD display screen is improved, and high contrast and resolution are realized at the same time.One of the biggest challenges facing automotive lighting system designers is how to optimize all the advantages of the latest generation of LEDs. Since LEDs generally require an accurate and efficient DC current source and a dimming method, the design of LED Driver IC must meet these requirements under a variety of conditions. The power solution must be efficient, reliable, compact and proven Economical. It can be said that for LED driver, the most demanding applications will be found in the TFT-LCD backlight lighting applications of avionics, marine and automotive infotainment systems, because these applications must face the harsh automotive electrical environment, compensate for the environmental lighting conditions with a wide range of changes, and must be placed in a very limited space. At the same time, they must ensure Maintain an attractive cost structure.Automotive LED backlightAdvantages such as small size, extremely long service life, low power consumption and enhanced dimming capability have led to the wide application of LED TFT-LCD backlight lighting in today's cars, aircraft and ships. Infotainment systems usually have an LCD display installed somewhere in the center of the instrument panel, so that both drivers and passengers can easily view the location, audio tune and complete their tasks It has a variety of tasks. In addition, many cars also have LCD displays in the back seat to provide entertainment for passengers, providing movies, video games, etc. historically, these displays use CCFL backlight, but it is becoming more and more common to replace these relatively large CCFL lamps with very flat white LED arrays, which provide more accurate and adjustable backlight Lighting, and it is easy to exceed the service life of the car.The advantage of using LEDs in this environment is that they can have several positive effects. First, they never need to be replaced because their reliable life is more than 100000 hours (service life is 11.5 years) , which exceeds the life of the car itself. This allows car manufacturers to permanently embed them into the backlight lighting system in the car without considering the problem of easy replacement. The style may also be a significant change, because the LED lighting system does not need to occupy as deep space or as large area as CCFL lamps. It provides light transmission from the input power supply In terms of lumens, LEDs are also generally more efficient than fluorescent lamps. This has two positive effects. First, it consumes less electric power provided by the car bus. Equally important, it reduces the heat that needs to be dissipated in the display screen, so that no bulky and expensive heat dissipation devices are required.Another important advantage of LED lighting is the wide dimming ratio capability provided by high-performance LED Driver IC. Due to the wide range of ambient lighting conditions inside the vehicle, including every change from direct sunlight to complete darkness, the LED backlight system must be able to provide a very large dimming ratio, generally up to 30000:1. Appropriate LED driver is adopted This large dimming ratio is relatively easy to implement, but it is impossible to backlight with CCFL.

Application of High Performance Optical Film in Automobile Display Screen
Application of High Performance Optical Film in Automobile Display Screen
With the continuous improvement of people's requirements for the lighting and display instruments of automobile instrument panel in terms of brightness, visual effect and energy consumption, in view of the significant advantages of high-performance optical film in adjusting the optical path, it is possible to replace the traditional plastic film for automobile display screen and instrument panel. In this paper, polycarbonate (PC) film with unique surface microstructure is introduced, and its improvement effect on contrast and brightness is verified by experiments.Figure 1 example of automobile display screensummaryAt present, the market demand for the brightness, visual effect and energy consumption of automotive instrument panel lighting and display instruments is increasing. Ordinary transparent or frosted printed grade plastic film has been used to provide the necessary local diffuse reflection effect to mask the bulb and structural details behind the display screen, and allow light to pass through when there is lighting demand. However, sufficient brightness and contrast need to be achieved by increasing additional lighting intensity and appropriate surface texture treatment. At this time, the application of such films may be limited.Figure 2 printed PC film for instrument panelIt is gratifying that in the LCD TV and display application market, the latest development of high-performance optical films has made it possible to extend the adjustment function of such films to some optical paths to the application of automotive display and instrument panel.Generally, the optical function is realized by creating optical microstructure (such as microlens array, semi cylinder or prism array) on the film surface. Such films are particularly suitable for applications where LEDs are used as lighting sources.Figure 3 refraction law: light refraction (N2 = 1 for air)In this paper, two types of films are evaluated: one is the film with microlens array on the surface; The other is a film with random matte texture (as a reference). The film surface is screen printed with a pattern similar to the common instrument panel, which is placed in the backlight module for testing, and then the brightness and contrast of the module are qualitatively and quantitatively evaluated by light intensity measurement method.

Apple still Uses Cheaper LCD Screens and Decides to Produce Them by Itself, Endangering the Interests of Many Screen Suppliers
It is reported that Apple plans to use cheaper LCD screens on most iPhone models next year, while delaying the full conversion to high-tech organic light emitting diode (OLED) screens, which also reflects consumers' price sensitivity.According to the Wall Street Journal, apple is expected to launch an LCD model and two OLED models this fall, and the LCD model is expected to account for most of its iPhone sales. It is expected that Apple will continue to use LCD next year, which is completely inconsistent with the previous report of a complete transition to OLED.Apple announced in March that it was testing its internal microled screen.Apple's decision to insist on using cheaper LCD screens has brought more uncertainty to its screen suppliers; In addition, Apple's decision to produce its own screen endangers the interests of many suppliers.Since apple is not expected to use these products in its OLED screen, the shares of Apple's three LCD suppliers, including sharp, LG display and Japan display, have fallen sharply in the past year. Subsequently, when it was revealed in March that Apple was already testing its microled screen, the shares of many display suppliers, including Samsung, sharp and LG display, fell again. This also damages the interests of general display and Synaptics. After reports showed that Apple would use more LCD screens than expected, the share price of general display company, which provides OLED display materials, began to fall.The Wall Street Journal pointed out that Apple's decision to postpone the implementation of OLED screens does not necessarily bring opportunities for LCD suppliers. For example, LG display has planned to invest in OLED screens.Apple has been facing the problem of supply shortage in the past. If suppliers have to change their production plans, Apple may face supply shortage again. It is reported that Japan display raised $320 million in April to meet the expected demand for its advanced LCD.According to recent reports, Apple has communicated its transformation plan to its suppliers, including plans to reduce parts procurement from suppliers by nearly 20% this year. At the same time, the uncertainty of the continuous expansion of Apple's supply chain will also make the new iPhone more expensive than ever.

Principle of Touch Screen Capacitance Screen_ What Are the Application Areas of Touch Screen
Principle of Touch Screen Capacitance Screen_ What Are the Application Areas of Touch Screen
Principle of touch screen capacitance screenTouch screen is the most friendly computer user interface at present. It is more and more widely used in consumer electronic products. The touch detection device and touch screen controller are good. The mechanical structure of the detection device is damaged in the process of touch screen device, resulting in the decline of touch accuracy and shortening of service life of the touch screen; In addition, the cost of commonly used capacitive and resistive touch screens is relatively high. Inductive touch screen can avoid damage to the touch detection device during touch and prolong the service life of touch screen products.The working principle of inductive touch screen, as well as the hardware circuit and part of the program design of the controller, all of the controller circuits have passed the verification. The non-direct contact touch of inductive touch screen avoids the damage to the touch detection device, prolongs the service life of the whole touch control system, and the repetition accuracy and touch sensitivity of touching the same point meet the expected design requirements.The capacitive induction touch screen is not affected by dirt, dust or oil stains, but it will be affected by the surrounding environment to varying degrees because it adopts the electric field coupling principle. At the same time, the capacitive induction touch screen has serious drift phenomenon.What are the application areas of touch screenTouch screen has become a hot spot in the market. In the market, shopping malls, hotels and other places, it is still dominated by smart phones. The growth momentum of the smartphone market slowed down and entered a period of gentle development. The application of touch screen outside mobile phones, such as automotive electronics, retail, medical treatment, public facilities, leisure and entertainment, will promote the rapid growth of touch screen market.In addition to applications in large fields, touch screens can be innovated in subdivided fields. In the field of "pen writing tablet", innovate the touch screen.The products have been extended to tablet with pen writing function, e-book, all-in-one machine, electronic whiteboard, etc. And the pen and hand can be used at the same time. When one hand is touching, the pen can also write at the same time.The traditional materials of capacitive touch screen are ITO, metal grid, nano silver wire, carbon nanotube, conductive polymer, graphene, etc. Metal mesh and nano silver wire have more supporters. Both materials are metals (silver or copper) and their conductivity is better than ITO.
Screen Fingerprint Identification Will Be Applied to LCD Screen, Not Just OLED
Screen Fingerprint Identification Will Be Applied to LCD Screen, Not Just OLED
Fingerprint identification on mobile phones has become an indispensable part of our daily life.Especially during the epidemic, face recognition is mostly paralyzed due to wearing masks, and fingerprint recognition has become the current optimal solution.Of course, if you use a mobile phone without fingerprint identification such as iPhone x, you have to find a way by yourself...9to5mac also gave a tutorial on using face ID with mask Screen fingerprint identification has become the mainstream, and the technology is also very mature. However, Tony saw a news while surfing the Internet today, saying that Tianma, a domestic LCD and LCM design company, released the world's first LCD Screen multi-point fingerprint identification scheme (Ted finger print, referred to as TFP).The strength of this scheme is that the off-screen fingerprint identification mobile phones we use now are basically OLED screens, while the LCD screen basically has no on-screen fingerprint identification...One plus 6T off screen fingerprint identification diagram As we all know, the screen fingerprint unlocking needs the illumination of the light source for fingerprint identification, but the LCD screen is relatively thick and has poor light transmittance; Second, the LCD screen cannot emit light actively, and the backlight will interfere with the identification of optical fingerprints.These two problems make LCD basically bid farewell to screen fingerprint recognition.Therefore, mobile phones with LCD screen basically adopt side fingerprint identification, and some will be combined with the power key on the side of the mobile phone.But OLED screens don't have this problem. Because the OLED screen is thinner and more transparent, it is natural to use fingerprints on and off the screen.Then why do manufacturers not directly on the OLED screen, but want to operate madly on the LCD screen? The reason is also simple: because LCD screens are cheap...Although Lu Weibing, vice president of Xiaomi, said publicly some time ago that Hongmi team successfully realized fingerprint recognition under LCD screen on a redmi note8 Pro prototype, so far, no manufacturer has officially announced this technology, and Tianma is the first.So Tony was surprised when he saw the news. This fingerprint identification scheme can be said to break through the two obstacles of current screen fingerprint identification technology - LCD screen and identification area.If the multi-point fingerprint identification in the LCD screen can achieve mass production, it means that the LCD screen can also use fingerprint identification!Another point is the identification area of off screen fingerprint identification.So far, the identification area of screen fingerprint is basically fixed, almost at the lower position of the screen. People will subconsciously put their fingers at the approximate position when unlocking the mobile phone.But no one can guarantee that every time the finger is pressed on the fingerprint identification area, because the identification area is so large, it is inevitable that there will be deviations...The scheme announced by Tianma this time shows that it can make the whole LCD screen recognize fingerprints!Tony mended his brain, that is, I could identify my fingerprint and unlock my mobile phone by placing my finger anywhere on the screen.If this multi-point fingerprint identification technology can be mass produced, the efficiency of unlocking the screen will be much higher than now. You don't have to find the identification area and poke it on the screen.It can be said that Tianma's operation directly makes the LCD screen ride on the head of OLED in fingerprint identification. Once LCD screens didn't even deserve fingerprint identification. Now they not only have fingerprint identification, but also can identify 5 at a time...As for why the multi-point fingerprint solution in the TFP screen can realize these functions, high integration has played a great role.In short, it is to integrate touch, display and fingerprint identification, replace the previous design of fingerprint identification module and reduce the thickness of the screen, so that the screen fingerprint identification is feasible on the LCD.At the same time, in order to realize fingerprint identification on the whole screen, Tianma covers the whole screen with optical path and sensors.As for how multi-point fingerprint identification can play new tricks, it still depends on the subsequent operations of manufacturers.As for the fate of LCD screen after mass production of this scheme, we still don't know, but before that, LCD screen has never been the first choice for mobile phone manufacturers.After all, the OLED screen is thinner, can emit light by itself, and the color is more bright. The experience is much better than that of LCD, but there are still problems of stroboscopic and screen burning, and the price is relatively expensive.When it comes to the LCD screen, the advantages and disadvantages are reversed...The price of iPhone 11 with LCD screen is lower For most users, OLED screen is their first choice, but there are still a group of people who stick to the LCD screen.In addition to having a larger viewing angle, another reason is that they can't accept the strobe of OLED screen. They think it's really hurting their eyes...Therefore, once the TFP scheme realizes mass production, the defect that the LCD screen has no off screen fingerprint will be supplemented. If the price can be controlled well, the current situation of the screen in the mobile phone market may change a lot.However, before that, the mobile phone market was still dominated by OLED screens, not to mention the suoper AMOLED screens such as Samsung. The evolution of LCD screens has a long way to go...
What Is the Forming Process of the Flexible Touch Screen
What Is the Forming Process of the Flexible Touch Screen
Every day, new products, new experiences, professional membrane switch proofing factory, 12 hour expedited shipmentFrom the hot sale of Samsung Galaxy edge flagship series to the advent of various curved screen bracelets and TVs, it is no doubt that curved screen technology has been widely valued and sought after by consumers and the industry in recent years. In the future, with the continuous development and improvement of fixed curvature curved screen technology, the flexible touch screen that can realize arbitrary bending will become an important development direction. On the 25th, at the 13th International touch screen and display technology development forum, Huang Hanfeng, deputy general manager of touch R & D from Shenzhen oufeiguang technology, made a detailed introduction to the flexible touch screen from the perspective of the industrial chain around the four key elements of flexible display, flexible touch, flexible cover plate and flexible bonding.Flexible displayFor LCD display, the LCD is usually responsible for controlling the display gray, and the three primary color filters control the display color, which requires them to correspond one by one in order to display normally. If the LCD panel is used as a curved screen, the inner circumference and outer circumference will be unequal, and the original one-to-one corresponding liquid crystal and filter will have position deviation, resulting in color distortion. In addition, it will also cause a series of problems such as light leakage, dark screen ghosting and snowflakes. Therefore, for the curved screen, the OLED display technology represented by AMOLED has almost become the best choice.Huang Hanfeng said that at present, Samsung is the undisputed AMOLED overlord in terms of patents, production capacity, yield and technology accumulation. The sixth generation AMOLED panel that began mass production at the end of 2014 can now produce 50000 pieces per month, and the yield can reach 60%. The second is LG, but LG has been focusing on large screen curved TV. At present, with the increasingly obvious trend of small screen AMOLED, LG is also accelerating the layout of small and medium-sized flexible screens. Although its output is not as good as Samsung, its yield can also reach more than 60%. The latest release of Xiaomi note 2 is the flexible AMOLED screen of LG. In addition, Japan's JDI and sharp (already acquired by Hon Hai), Taiwan's Youda, domestic BOE, Rouyu and other screen manufacturers are also accelerating the layout of their own AMOLED technology. It is the general trend for AMOLED to replace LCD.Flexible touchIn terms of touch control, ITO (indium tin oxide) transparent conductive film has become the most important touch layer material for display screens such as non curved LCD and OLED due to its good light transmittance, low thickness, excellent hardness and conductivity, mature manufacturing technology and many other reasons. However, as ITO itself is a brittle material, it is not suitable for making flexible touch layer with large curvature or even free bending, and the cost and cost are high. At present, it accounts for about 30% - 40% of the cost of the upstream material part of the whole touch screen industry, and uses "indium", a rare metal with limited reserves. Therefore, with the advent of the era of curved surface and flexibility, it is likely to be replaced.Huang Hanfeng said that at present, the main substitutes for ITO materials are graphene, carbon nanotubes, nano silver and metal mesh. Graphene and carbon nanotubes are very good substitutes for ITO from the characteristics of the material itself. However, graphene is still in the R & D stage and is still far from mass production. The industrial mass production technology of carbon nanotubes is not perfect, and the conductivity of the thin film products made of carbon nanotubes is not as good as that of ITO. Therefore, from the perspective of technology and marketization, metal grid and nano silver technology will be the protagonists of development in recent years. Metal grid technology has been applied in some PC display markets.The metal mesh technology mentioned here is a conductive metal mesh formed by pressing metal conductive materials such as silver and copper or oxides on thin film substrates such as pet. Its main advantages are low raw material cost and good folding ability. However, due to the problem of Murray interference ripple caused by yield, output and high-speed pixels, it is more suitable for desktop all-in-one computers, laptops, televisions and other products with low resolution and relatively long-distance use.Nano silver technology means that nano silver ink material is coated on pet or glass substrate, and then laser lithography is used to depict the conductive network of nano silver wire. Its main advantages are high yield, small linewidth, good conductivity and folding resistance, while its disadvantage is high cost. Moreover, compared with metal mesh, nano silver material has smaller radius of curvature and small resistance change rate during bending. In addition, due to the linewidth, it is more suitable for high-resolution close-up scenes such as mobile phones, smart watches and bracelets."By comprehensive comparison, I think nano silver has more advantages than metal grid," Huang Hanfeng said.Flexible cover plateIn order to bend at will, in addition to solving the flexible display and flexible touch, the last and most critical part is the flexible cover plate and fitting. However, due to its hard and fragile characteristics, glass cover plate is not the best choice in the field of flexibility.Huang Hanfeng said that compared with glass, pet and PI (polyimide) materials with high surface hardness and high light transmittance are better choices, but at present, pet and PI also have many problems to be solved. On the one hand, they are not resistant to high temperature and have poor light transmittance: pet and PI will have problems of partial melting and property change at low ambient temperature, and they do not have good light transmittance compared with glass.Secondly, it is difficult to achieve a balance between hardness and folding. Huang Hanfeng said that if you want to meet certain hardness requirements, you need to apply the hardened layer, but after coating the hardened layer, after repeated folding, the hardened layer will crack and reduce the hardness. Therefore, how to achieve a balance between the two is the biggest bottleneck at present.Compared with the flexible cover plate that needs further development, the 3D glass cover plate necessary for curved screen mobile phones has a very good development prospect.Some data show that 2018 may become the outbreak year of 3D glass cover plate. It is expected that the mobile phone penetration rate of 3D glass cover plate will exceed 50% around 2020. With the maturity of 3D glass cover plate processing technology and the decline of unit price, the penetration rate will further improve. It is expected that the market scale will reach more than 19 billion yuan in the future.Huang Hanfeng said that the common manufacturing processes of 1R (single radian bending) and 2R cover plates have been basically mature. They basically achieve a bending effect through hot bending technology. The difference is mainly in the coating of hardened layer. However, the yield is a problem to be solved, which is basically only 30%, and there is no room for improvement in the short term. If 4R is to be done in the future, the yield will be lower. Therefore, the yield is one of the urgent problems to be solved in the manufacture of cover plate.Flexible fitAfter the cover plate is selected, it is fitted, that is, the cover plate is integrated with the touch and display layer below to form a complete module. At present, there are two common methods: roller type and vacuum bonding: the roller has high efficiency and needs to roll the pasted object. The efficiency of vacuum type is relatively low, but it does not need to roll the pasted object, so it is not easy to cause damage to the pasted object.Huang Hanfeng said that if the curvature is large, you can only choose vacuum bonding. However, for the possible 4R bonding in the future, due to its special four side bending characteristics, it is difficult to avoid wrinkles and bubbles in places with large radians even if vacuum is adopted. At present, the industry has adopted customized extrusion airbags or plastic parts to alleviate this problem, but it has not been completely solved. Therefore, the industry still has room for progress in multi surface and high curvature fitting technology.Huang Hanfeng frankly said: "from the perspective of the supply chain, it will take several years for the flexible screen to really realize mass production. At the same time, it also needs the upstream and downstream supply chain to jointly overcome the relevant technical problems."For future development, Huang Hanfeng believes that the integration of various modules will be the general trend. He said: "in the incell technology of LCD, ITO touch film and liquid crystal layer are integrated together, which is a good integration. Now the fingerprint module is independent, and it can also be integrated with touch in the future. I think there will be a process of mutual integration and progress between functional modules in the future."

LG Will Mass Produce Mobile Phone Flexible Screen in the Fourth Quarter of This Year
In the early morning of June 20, Beijing time, according to the English version of Korea Times, in order to further consolidate the leading position in the display market, LG display will mass produce a new version of smart phone flexible display from the fourth quarter of this year and provide it to major customers.LG researchers and technicians said that the purpose of producing flexible display is to meet the growing demand for innovative solutions. LG spokesman Frank Lee said that the company is trying to meet the rapidly growing market demand for advanced display screens. Li stressed that the new display screen is foldable and not fragile, and the product will become a major innovation in display technology.LG said it was investing in flexible displays and high-tech panels for mobile devices, namely OLED panels that support high-definition (UHD) displays. "We have completed the development of the first flexible display and will start mass production from the fourth quarter of this year," LG said in a statementThe E2 production line of the company's display manufacturing plant in pozhou, South Korea, will be responsible for the production of flexible displays. LG said that the OLED flexible display will adopt generation 4.5 glass cutting technology, and the monthly production capacity of the production line will be 12000 pieces.Koo Bon moo, chairman of LG, hopes to revive the enterprise by launching leading products. Therefore, as a major shareholder of LG display, LG Electronics will launch its first flexible display smartphone later this year.LG predicts that flexible display may become the latest trend of mobile devices, so the company may also consider selling flexible display to major mobile device manufacturers.It is reported that LG's competitor Samsung display is also developing similar products. At present, Samsung display is testing flexible display products to improve product quality. Due to manufacturing problems, the upcoming Galaxy note 3 should not be configured with a flexible display in the short term.Kim Yang Jae, an analyst at Woori investment securities in Korea, said: "mobile phone manufacturers are increasingly pursuing bright images, beautiful shapes and thin display screens, while flexible display screens cater to this demand. LG display is expected to help them seize a greater market share." Kim said, LG's strategy of switching to flexible display can break the industry conventions and make the company earn stable profits.In fact, flexible display is only one step for LG to invest in different businesses and seize the global market share of OLED. LG is the first company to mass produce OLED display and foldable OLED screen. At the same time, the company is also developing OLED TV supporting high-definition display.Lim Joo soo, manager of LG OLED Technology Strategy Department, said that in order to remain competitive, LG is trying to reduce costs, reduce power consumption and improve image quality. Lim Joo soo said: "LG display is developing high-definition OLED TV screen. In order to improve the brightness, we plan to replace the existing 'bottom light' technology with 'top light' technology. In addition, the company will develop new materials to extend the service life of OLED display."In the next few years, OLED TV will become the mainstream product, and LG plans to expand the TV screen size to 65 inches and 77 inches. LG said that the above two OLED displays will be produced by the M1 test production line of pozhou factory.

In addition, the company will develop new materials to extend the service life of OLED display."In the next few years, OLED TV will become the mainstream product, and LG plans to expand the TV screen size to 65 inches and 77 inches.
