It is reported that Samsung will accelerate the mass production of transparent OLED and break the LG monopoly.

Thank you, Mr. Air, a netizen of CTOnews.com, for your clue delivery! IT House, May 29, according to South Korea's National Daily, Samsung shows that it is preparing for mass production of transparent OLED, with the goal of releasing a trial product in the second half of 2023.

Sources said that Samsung has not yet set a specific time for mass production of transparent OLED, and it is still not possible to determine the application areas for which the panel is aimed.

Samsung showed that it released a 55-inch transparent OLED panel in 2015, but did not actually produce it in the end, the report said. Samsung's biggest competitor, LG, has successfully mass-produced transparent OLED, with applications including shop windows and plane portholes.

According to industry insiders, transparent OLED technology is still in development. At present, the transparent OLED transmittance launched by LG is about 40%. LGD plans to increase the light transmittance to 45% within one year, and the long-term goal is to increase it to 70%. LG has previously said that it is the only panel manufacturer in the world to mass-produce transparent OLED. The move also puts great competitive pressure on Samsung.

IT House saw in the BCG report that the global transparent OLED market was only 100 billion won (currently about 533 million yuan) in 2022, but analysts expect it to grow to 3 trillion won (currently about 15.99 billion yuan) by 2025 and to 12 trillion won (currently about 63.96 billion yuan) by 2030.
