A company has presented a new technology for producing OLED panels. In the future, this should not only make the panels cheaper, but also significantly more durable. This is what lies behind the “MAX OLED” platform.
The “Applied Materials” company has announced new developments for “OLED” display technology. The “MAX OLED” platform is primarily intended to hide long-term improvements for OLED, which should not only make monitors with OLED better and larger, but also significantly cheaper in the long term. The English-language magazine TomsHardware.com reports on this.
In the future, televisions, monitors and cell phones with OLED displays could not only last significantly longer, but also become cheaper. If manufacturers should pass on the cost reductions to customers.
New technology in the OLED sector is intended to make production more efficient and cheaper
What is the most important change? The most important change should be the conversion of OLED production to the next generation.
The new technology should make it possible to produce larger and, above all, cheaper OLED panels. The switch to the next generation should offer a much better yield of the material and thus reduce the costs for a single glass plate. The aim of the improvements is primarily to accommodate consumer electronics: OLED has been in high demand here for several years, and in addition to televisions, it is now also used for cell phones and notebooks.
What other improvements are mentioned? In addition, there should also be further improvements thanks to “MAX OLED”:
Who will use the technology? Some manufacturers, including Samsung Display, Visionox and Japan Display, already want to use the new system for their OLED production. Samsung in particular is one of the largest and most important manufacturers in the OLED sector. In addition to Samsung, LG and ASUS are currently the leaders.

The MAX OLED solution is receiving strong customer interest, with repeat orders from several leading display manufacturers. In addition, Applied will supply a MAX OLED solution to Samsung Display, a global leader in OLED and QD-OLED panels. Samsung Display will launch an Alpha system to test this new technology.
What does that mean? In the future, the development will mean that manufacturers will be able to produce OLED displays more cost-effectively and, above all, in large quantities. This could mean that the price range for OLED displays could fall in the long term. Because that’s still the big problem at the moment, because OLED is still significantly more expensive than other display technologies and devices with a built-in OLED panel are significantly more expensive.
But that also requires that manufacturers pass on the cheaper production to the buyer. In the worst case scenario, production becomes cheaper, but the manufacturers decide to pocket the savings into their own pockets instead of passing the savings on to the customer.
