LG partners LGD Seoul National University to develope Next-Gen OLED and flexible displays.
LG Display is partnering the nation’s top university to
develop next-generation displays such as organic light-emitting diode
(OLED) and even bendable screens.
The Korean company, competing against its biggest rival Samsung Display
in the race for future displays, said in a statement that it has decided
to establish the LGD-Seoul National University Cooperation Center.
Under the alliance, senior LG technicians, Seoul National University
(SNU) professors and undergraduate students will conduct various
projects which are mostly related to developing materials and
technologies for use in the displays, LG Display spokesman Jason Kim
said Friday, adding these projects will be funded by his firm.
Since last year, the company has been running the LGenius Program, aimed
at helping graduate and doctoral students financially with
technology-enriched theses.
The LG spokesman said the firm has also worked with the nation’s top
technology school KAIST in display-related projects and it plans to
expand its support and scholarship programs with other colleges.
To offset stalling growth for LCDs, major display-making firms are heavily investing in OLEDs and even flexible OLED screens.
OLED displays are being used in smaller digital devices like Samsung
Electronics’ Galaxy smartphone and tablet line, digital cameras and
camcorders. But the market is set to open as Samsung and LG, the world’s
top two television makers, are ready to aggressively promote their OLED
sets.
Even Apple has shown an interest in using flexible displays for its
popular i-branded devices, though local spokesman Steve Park maintained
his ``no comment’’ position.
The LG-SNU partnership comes after the Ministry of Knowledge Economy
chose LG Display to lead a consortium charged with developing a 60-inch
flexible OLED by the end of 2017.
The basic idea is that these flexible displays could be used in windows
displaying information at bus stations or other public places including
stores.
The Korean government hopes that the project will create as many as
840,000 jobs for the research and development of next-generation OLED
and flexible screens.
