Korea's Government will invest 30 billion won ($26.8 million) in a 4th-generation (730-920 millimeter glass) in-line deposit system manufacturing process for white OLEDs. The government will invest $17 million, the rest will come from private companies. R&D will focus on making the equipment needed to mass produce the panels, improve the process yield and train around 350 qualified workers.
