LG Display (LGD) actively competes in TV market by reducing OLED TV price.

A department head Byeonggyu Roh of LGD emphasized “cost reduction of LGD’s OLED panel should be carried out across all processes and continued” and introduced its cost reduction strategy for the OLED panel for the 2nd Annual OLED Workshop held on 24th.

Key cost reduction strategy includes various ways such as investment cost reduction by rearranging the existing lines and modifying equipment; material cost reduction by optimizing the thickness of layers for TFT, the OLED and encapsulation; tact time improvement; and production efficiency increase by investing in M2 line. Also it was expected that soluble process will be the core technology for cost reduction in the future.

CEO of UBI Research, Choong Hoon Yi, said “LGD’s ultimate goal is to reduce the price by 1.1 times compare to LCD” and announced “cost down can be realized through reducing investment cost as 65” UHD OLED TV displayed at SID 2014 applied the existing co-planar to reduce from the previous 6mask to 4mask.”

LGD recently began supplying the OLED TV panel to China, and it plans to operate the M2 line in the latter half of this year. It also dropped the price of a 55” FHD curved OLED TV to $3,999 from the released price of $15,000 and a price war with the LCD TV is about to begin.
