Ness Display, a developer of organic light emitting diode (OLED) display technology, is the first Korean firm to establish overseas an OLED manufacturing operation. The OLED manufacturing plant in Singapore started commercial production in December 2005. The company employs 140 staff at the Singapore plant, with 60 engineers managing the OLED linear source production system. The production capacity of the plant is expected to reach 1.6 million OLED display panels per month.
"We will concentrate on 1-inch to 2-inch mobile display panels, besides developing larger screens to match market requirements," said Kim Myung Jin, CEO of both Ness Display Singapore Pte Ltd and the parent company Ness Display Co Ltd.
Other than the technical challenges in developing large-size panels, the immediate challenge for the company in 2006 will be to stabilize the production line, and to push its efficiency to its utmost.
