Samsung Display Going Big With OLED - To Invest 8.9 Billion in OLED production
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.

not yet. there are four HDR standards at this time. they have to set up which one would get final standard. best of them is dolby vision 12bit processing HDR which is grade one standard. the rest are just hybrids, consumer fake. dolby used to have oled as top standart reference display but the HDR display PRM-4220 is LCD.

That's true however two of them, HDR10 and Dolby Vision are main ones and will get wider implementation by being included in Blueray standard and having higher adoption.

Good lord, 9 billion investment. Well it sounds great, as OLED is a great tech!
However so still no Mass produced TV's / Monitors's? Or can this be interpreted as - 60% for phone market, rest for desktop / TV's?
21:9 3440x1440+ OLED + Gysnc + 144hz + HDR, Yes Please!
Actually does OLED include HDR or will it be a separate thing in future?
I realy, and I mean REALY hate ultrawides.
Quite a lot of older titles does not and will not support it, and as well for video it sux with all those big black bars on side. (plus 4K video does not even fit)
Even for game that do support 21:9, it's maybe ok for racing games, but really terrible in MMOs or strategies that put a lot of GUI elements on screen.
I would like to see some 37-43" UHD (3840x2160) with HDR, Freesync and at least 120Hz refresh rate.
