The newspaper Nikkei and reuters are reporting that Sumitomo Chemicals has developed a technology that suggest cheaper mass production ready large OLED-Television devices.
To reach this goal Sumitomo chemicals uses macro-molecule materials as the main component instead of low molecular materials.
With this new material the production costs can be reduced up to 50 percent!
The japanese company want to ramp up a production facility for that kind of material end of 2011. This fab should be production ready in the first quarter 2012.
Sumitomo Chemicals want to reach a output for the production of four to five million OLED-Tv with a size of 40 inches.
The material will be delivered to the television maker to Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.
So a 55 inch OLED-Tv which we will see at the CES-2012 with a cheap price comes closer.
