Samsung has had a bit of a love-hate relationship with OLED screens. For TVs they (unfortunately) ditched it, for smart-phones they increased production. But with OLED black really is black and that offers massive contrast ratios without any LED light bleeding. 



Samsung will be expanding on OLED and is to invest 8.9 Billion in OLED production, targeted at smart-phone displays. The new investment cycle would increase OLED productions in the end (long term) likely eliminating LCD production. The 8.9 Billion is just for 2017 alone. One of the new production lines should be capable of fabbing 30.000 OLED panels per month in Q4 this year.

With 95% of the market, Samsung's OLED panels are in demand. In fact, the latest stats show that 70% of Samsung's phones employ OLED over LCD. In addition to expanding OLED screen production capacity, Samsung will also invest in A3 flexible OLED screen factory, the end of this year the plant will be able to increase from 3-45 million to 120,000 units.
