Joled starts mass production of monitor OLED panels 10" to 32" next year

Company Joled has raised some serious capital and to start a new production line for 10" to 32" OLED panels for cards and high-end monitors, and production starts next year in 2020. The company plans to fan 220,000 panels per month. That means that OLED based monitors finally will make an appearance.

JOLED Inc. (headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Tadashi Ishibashi; hereafter “JOLED”), which develops, manufactures, and sells organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays, has been developing the world’s first printed OLED display mass-production lines, and started building production lines for the post-process at the recently established JOLED Chiba Site.

OLED displays by JOLED will be produced through the pre-process from the array process to the printed OLED process conducted at JOLED Nomi Site and the module process that constitutes the post-process, conducted at Chiba Site. After passing the final inspection, the completed display products are being shipped to customers from Chiba. The production capacity at Chiba Site will be approximately 220,000 units of OLED displays per month. Chiba Site is scheduled to start operations in 2020, simultaneously with Nomi Site.

The entire production process of JOLED’s OLED display production lines will consist of the pre-process at Nomi Site and the post-process at Chiba Site. This process will become operation in 2020, with JOLED set to produce medium-sized (10- to 32-inch) printed OLED displays for use in areas such as automotive displays and high-end monitors. Nissha, who recently became a joint shareholder, produces film-based touch sensors as one of its major products. JOLED will work together with Nissha in the area of touch sensors for various OLED displays in the future.

With the proprietary RGB printing technology for producing OLED displays, which enables efficient production and represents a major innovation within the OLED industry, JOLED will complete the entire process of mass-production lines as scheduled to offer medium-sized, high-definition OLED displays demanded by the market. JOLED will continue to take on challenges with the aim of leading the OLED industry, fulfilling its mission to realize a world full of excitement and emotion, drawing on leading-edge devices.

Joled uses an RGB printing technique for making the OLED panels and according to the company, the company was founded in 2015 and consists of the former OLED divisions of Sony and Panasonic.

Back in 2018 a ProArt PQ22UC monitor with 21.6" OLED panel already been on display

Probably...but I'll wait until the results are out, but if it is organic, then yeah, it will degrade.

In other news, Samsung's new foldable phone was released...quite possibly one of the worst devices ever invented, by someone who does not understand why people have:

1) A mobile telephone
2) A smartphone
3) A tablet

Just to unashamedly pontificate, the usage of these 3 devices does not overlap - and only those who have an affinity towards 'trendy new stuff' would purchase it.

Not talking about the early adopters, because that is a massive assumption that 'this' is going to be the new norm. I'm talking about people who just want trendy stuff...

I just cannot believe that people actually sat around a table and thought the foldable phone would be a good idea. Just because people buy tablets, smartphones and mobile phones does not follow that you can combine all three into one device!

Reductive analogy:

People like chocolate.
People like hangliding.
People like museums.

Samsung make a product that allows you to hanglide through a museum, whilst being force-fed chocolate!

Pathetic.

A screensaver of a white bmp file when PC idle for more than 5 min should prevent that. Unless you spend hours without getting off your chair for a 5 min break.

Being away from PC is not what i worry about, because i have energy saving set to turn off the monitor after 10 minutes.

It's long gaming sessions with the crosshair and HUD at the same spot.

I don't think this will be an issue. We can have HUD and crosshair that slowly and steadily shifts their color hue. Or it can be implemented on hardware level too. If the monitor recognizes static colored pixels, it will shift their color, reducing one sub-pixel brightness and increasing another one. The color shifting can be defined by user's preference(customizable).

I personally can't wait to switch to OLED. It is the ultimate 2D display technology.

It really isn't.
Blackcrush, poor brightness levels, burn-in as mentioned, brightness & contrast degradation over time.
It's great for movies in a dark room. Not so sure it's a great choice for computer monitors.

Yes, my main interest here will be in the factory warranties first, then of course price--they will reveal much, imo...

Interesting which PC monitor under £1K will hit 100% DCI-P3 (Digital Cinema) colour space first.

Note: 100% DCI-P3 monitors can display 25% more colors when compared to 100% sRGB/BT.709/REC.709 monitors, but it is still just 45.5% of colors human eye can see (CIE 1931 colour space).

Please name another monitor tech that can provide the contrast the OLED can first, then we'll talk about the cons.
Burn-in is not an issue, it is solvable.
Blackcrush is a problem only on TVs, not on monitors that will be callibrated.
Poor brightness is also a TV sized panels, not on lower sizes.
Brightness and contrast degradation - please provide some relevant long term tests that do not base on subjective opinions.

You have an OLED and have experienced these issues? An OLED 2017 or newer? This talk of brightness levels is getting a little out of hand. Not sure about you, but there have been many reviews of monitors/TV's of which the "reviewer" refers specifically to lowering the contrast and brightness to "non retina searing levels...."

I have personally never experienced any of the stated issues you have mentioned, but maybe I am lucky, or that I know what I am dealing with and take care of my shtuff…

Is burn in solvable? Maybe a few generations from now - idk, but by then MicroLED will be out which does completely solve it utilizing a completely different screen technology. Blackcrush is a problem on TVs and Phones that are calibrated - I'm not sure why you think monitors would be different.

I tend to agree about brightness - OLED phones can get very bright -- TV's on the otherhand can use some work (I own a 65" LG C7) as far as brightness/contrast degradation:

Non issue as far as I'm concerned.

My problem with OLED is the maximum of around 400 nits with great colour volume, this is where they excel. Unfortunately thats the max nits it can do while keeping the quality up and without serious burn in issues.
Beyond 400 nits they need to use a white OLED that increases brightness, but it only manages 800 nits and reduces colour quality substantially.

HDR movies are mastered commonly in 1000, 2000, ... 10,000nits, OLED cannot do them justice.
Its nice to have the best blacks but they most certainly do not have the best brights.
I chose a Samsung 2000nit QLED over OLED for this reason and to avoid worrying about burnin.
2000 nits is lovely and very handy for even SDR material due to the HDR+ conversion the TV can do with SDR material.
I use HDR+ with all SDR video, it is super.
Its great pushing the TV to its max quality without any worry and its a seriously good display to do it with!
