Panasonic Provide OLED TV Technology for Other Manufacturers by Charging

It is reported that Panasonic is considering providing OLED TV mass production technology for other TV manufacturers by charging. Panasonic has launched negotiation with Japanese manufacturers at home and abroad, including LG Electronics and Samsung Electronics.

Compared with Samsung's technology, Panasonic's technology allows manufacturers to produce OLED TV in large quantity at lower cost, although Panasonic is jointly developing OLED panels with Sony and providing technical information for each other, and Panasonic will offer the Panasonic's own mass production technology to external companies only because the volume production mode of Sony and Panasonic is different.

Sony and Panasonic announced on June 25, 2012 that they will jointly develop next-generation OLED panels for TV / large-size monitor, and they aimed to establish the mass production technology of next-generation OLED panel in 2013. In addition to Panasonic, Sony is also working with Taiwan's AU Optronics to develop OLED panels together.

Currently, LG has already started selling OLED TV in several markets worldwide, but sales are not ideal, allegedly the cumulative sales in Korea by the end of this April is only 200 units. However, Samsung's OLED TV will be put on sale this week at slightly lower price than LG, close to $ 9,000, but the price is far higher than that of LED TV and 4K TV in the same size.

OLED TV is considered as orthodox successor of the next generation of display technology. But a lot of investment capital flow is required to invest OLED TV, so it is obviously difficult for Panasonic in trouble to invest. However, Panasonic has mastered OLED technology of itself; it would be another form of waste that Panasonic cannot take advantage of its OLED technology of itself.

Previously, Panasonic had just set foot in the production of small-size OLED panel, it is reported that Panasonic plans to produce commercial OLED panel in its Himeji plant for medical equipments and television station before the end of 2015.
