Headquartered in South Korea, Samsung Display has production plants in China, Vietnam, and India, and operates sales offices in six countries. Samsung Display enabled the first mass-production of OLED and quantum dot displays and aims to develop next-generation technology such as slidable, rollable and stretchable panels.
The company was established as S-LCD Corporation in April 2004 in Chungcheongnam-do as a joint venture between Samsung Electronics (51% share) and Sony Corporation (49% share) to manufacture amorphous TFT LCD panels. As of April 2008 the company reported a monthly production capacity of 150,000 LCD panels, including 50,000 based on PVA technology,[1] which were integrated into both Samsung and Sony LCD televisions. S-LCD originally had production facilities in both Japan and South Korea. Samsung later acquired all of Sony's shares in S-LCD in January 2012.
Samsung Display Corporation was established on April 1, 2012. The company launched on July 1 by merging S-LCD Corporation and Samsung Mobile Display (Samsung's OLED manufacturing division), becoming the world's largest display company.[clarification needed] Samsung Display ended its manufacturing of LCD panels in June 2022, becoming a manufacturer of solely OLED panels.
