["China can make organic light-emitting diodes very cheap, just like the photovoltaic industry." Deng Qingyun predicts that it may take 5 to 10 years]

Twenty-five years ago, Deng Qingyun discovered the organic light emitting diode (OLED). Today, he predicts that China will have a chance to catch up with the industrialization of AMOLED.

During the China Flat Panel Display Conference in April, 2065, Deng Qingyun, the "father of organic light-emitting diodes", said in an exclusive interview with the reporter of China Business News that in five to ten years, AMOLED will be better and cheaper than LCD panel, and China can make AMOLED cheaper, so we should focus on industrialization.

Born in Hongkong, Deng Qingyun 65438-0947 worked as a research scientist in Kodak Research Laboratory in Rochester, new york. 1979, he discovered the organic light-emitting diode, so he was called "the father of organic light-emitting diode". On 20 1 1 year, Deng Qingyun, together with two colleagues, won the Wolff Prize in Chemistry, which is an international prize second only to the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

A wave of AMOLED investment boom is emerging in China. Deng Qingyun said that China enterprises such as Tianma, BOE, Visionox and TCL have all invested in AMOLED, but AMOLED needs a lot of research and development, and there are still many problems to be solved. For example, AMOLED TV still has a long maturity, although both Samsung and LG want to solve it. The other is the cost, but AMOLED will definitely drop to the same cost as LCD. The LCD panel is good, and the AMOLED panel will be better and cheaper in the future.

"China can make AMOLED very cheap, just like the photovoltaic industry." Deng Qingyun predicted that it may take 5 to 10 years.

Can Chinese mainland shorten the gap with Japan, South Korea and Taiwan Province Province in the next monitor era? Deng Qingyun firmly said "Yes" because China's R&D strength is increasing. He believes that at present, Japan only accounts for 10% of the global LCD panel market, and the competition in the future will mainly be between South Korea, Taiwan Province Province and Chinese mainland. Chinese mainland's industrial status is rising, and it will surpass Taiwan Province Province in the future.

The representative of Visionox said at the meeting that day that AMOLED patents were being laid out to avoid patent disputes. Deng Qingyun believes that patents will not hinder the development of AMOLED in China, because some patents will expire in the future.

At present, Samsung has occupied a leading position in the global AMOLED market and formed barriers in mass production technology and technology patents. However, Deng Qingyun believes that AMOLED equipment and technology are available in Europe, America and Japan, and China can buy them if it has money. South Korea develops technology, so China can develop technology and know how not to be protected by patents.

In the past few years, China has invested heavily in high-generation LCD panels. It is estimated that nine 8.5-generation LCD panel lines will be put into production by 20 15. Deng Qingyun believes that there is no absolute right or wrong. It is ok to make money, but it may not be good to rely on government investment for development. In addition, China has invested in many LCD production lines. Maybe in a few years, some companies will succeed and some companies will fail.

On the same day, BOE and Visionox introduced the latest research results of flexible display, and they developed 9.55-inch and 3.5-inch flexible AMOLED displays respectively. Deng Qingyun said calmly: "It is impossible to mass-produce flexible displays within ten years, and it may take longer." Pointing to the mobile phone held by our reporter, he said that it needs to be unbreakable, but it doesn't need to be flexible. The popularization of flexible displays may require the development of other new application fields.

Deng Qingyun said that South Korea and Taiwan Province Province are developing flexible displays, while Chinese mainland is still catching up. He believes that China should focus on industrialization, focusing on the large-scale application of AMOLED in smart phones. At present, Samsung accounts for 90% of the global AMOLED market. After catching up, China may account for 50% in the future.
