It is reported that Samsung will no longer purchase BOE OLED panels.
Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens pigeon for delivering the clues of Yong Zhi! CTOnews.com, December 1 (Xinhua) Samsung has been buying OLED and LCD display panels from BOE for several years, which are used in smartphones and televisions. However, it looks like Samsung will no longer buy display panels from BOE next year.
Samsung has removed BOE from its supply chain list, which means it will not buy any products from BOE, according to TheElec. This is due to the recent payment of royalties from BOE. Samsung asked BOE to pay patent fees for the use of the Samsung name in its marketing, but BOE refused, the report said. Since then, Samsung has reduced its purchases of display panels from BOE.
Now Samsung's latest list of suppliers shows that BOE has been kicked out of its supply chain. CTOnews.com learned that BOE's OLED panels are usually used for Samsung's low-and mid-range smartphones, while LCD panels are used for the company's low-cost televisions. Now, Samsung has increased its orders for display panels from Huaxing Optoelectronics and LG Display.
