元器件交易网讯  4月29日消息，据外媒报道，三星电子材料附属公司第一毛织公司(Cheil Industries)于4月28日宣布，它将量产在过去两年开发的OLED材料。

　　这标志着韩国公司首次开发生产绿色磷光有机发光二极管材料，这允许屏幕发出绿光提高亮度和功耗。

　　第一毛纺织官员称，“我们已经向三星显示器公司提供材料，这将用于三星电子的移动设备。然而，我们透露具体型号。”

　　公司将每年生产5吨的组件。

　　业内人士声称，这种材料可能已经用于三星电子新旗舰智能手机Galaxy S5，因为其显示亮度和功耗比先前的手机显著提高了。

　　庆熙大学信息显示器系教授Jang Jin称，“绿色磷光基质材料对减少手机的功耗并延长电池寿命至关重要。”

　　自己开发OLED的发展材料可以让三星降低对进口显示面板材料的依赖度，降低生产成本。目前，三星显示器大部分由日本和美国公司供应。

　　三星显示器公司称，“虽然大多数OLED设备已本地化，但OLED材料仍然来自外国公司，进一步本地化将会提高成本竞争力。”

　　第一毛纺织自从2011年3月投资200亿韩元（合约1900万美元）建立OLED厂，它一直将目光锁定在显示器材料研发上。

　　2013年该公司收购拥有大约530项专利的德国照明技术厂商Novaled，拥于生产OLED产品。

　　全球OLED市场收入今年预计将达到4700亿韩元，年增长30%。2016年预计将增长到8000亿韩元在，2017年达到1万亿韩元。

　　第一毛纺织预计今年OLED销量将达到1000万韩元。

　　该公司去年材料业务销售额1.6万亿韩元，占公司总收入（4.4万亿韩元）的36.6%。

　　Cheil Industries, Samsung’s electronics materials affiliate, said Monday it would mass-produce a key raw material for organic light-emitting diodes that it has been developing for the past two years.

　　This marks the first time for a Korean company to develop and produce a host material for green phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes, allowing display pixels to emit green light for improved brightness and power consumption.

　　“We have supplied the material to Samsung Display for Samsung Electronics’ mobile devices. We cannot, however, specify models,” a Cheil Industries official said.

　　The company will produce 5 tons of the component annually.

　　Industry sources claimed that the materials may have been used for Samsung Electronics’ new flagship Galaxy S5 smartphones as its display brightness and power consumption have been significantly improved over its previous models.

　　“The green phosphorescent host material is essential for reducing handsets’ power consumption and extending their (battery) lifespan,” said Jang Jin, a professor at Kyung Hee University’s Department of Information Display.

　　The development of its proprietary OLED materials is expected to help Samsung by reducing its heavy reliance on imported materials for its display panels, lowering production costs. Currently, Samsung Display receives most of its supplies from Japanese and U.S. companies.

　　“While most OLED equipment has been localized, OLED materials still come from foreign companies. Further localization will boost its cost-competitiveness,” a Samsung Display source said.

　　Cheil Industries have zeroed in on the development of display materials since it invested 20 billion won ($19 million) to set up an OLED plant in Gumi, North Gyeongsang Province, in March 2011.

　　In 2013, it acquired Novaled, a Germany-based OLED company that has around 530 patents and is a global leader in doping technology, which is used in the production of OLEDs.

　　The global OLED market is expected to hit 470 billion won this year, growing 30 percent annually. It is forecast to grow to 800 billion won in 2016 and 1 trillion won in 2017, according to global research firm HIS.

　　Cheil Industries expects to see its OLED sales reach 100 billion won this year, the company said.

　　“The development of technology for key OLED materials has upgraded the company’s business capacity. We will continue to expand our global market network in line with the growing production of large OLED panels,” Cheil Industries CEO Cho Nam-seong said in a statement.

　　The company will continue to expand its materials business in semiconductor and display panels by generating synergy with Samsung SDI, a lithium-ion battery maker, which Cheil recently merged with.

　　Cheil is expected to dissolve next month when SDI holds its shareholders meeting to gain approval for the merger.

　　Cheil’s materials business made 1.6 trillion won in sales last year, accounting for 36.6 percent of the firm’s 4.4 trillion won in overall sales.
