Samsung SDI double ultra thin flat screen output

Samsung, in one of the most important companies in south Korean. Samsung started mass producing the ultra thin flat screens, the OLED screen, and it would double capacity by next year, sending its shares surging 14 percent. The world's nÂș.3 maker of plasma display panels is increasingly looking at the super thin screens called AM-OLED as a growth driver, as they produce brighter images and use less power. Samsung SDI is prepared to double monthly output capacity of active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AM-OLED) displays to 3 million units by 2008 from 1.5 million now. The company has been plagued by falling prices and weak margins in both plasma display panels (PDP) and traditional cathode-ray tubes for televisions. Forcing them to invest in a new business. Flat screen makers are betting that OLED screens will replace the currently dominant LCD panels on multimedia mobile phones and portable media very soon.
