Samsung Display acquires US-based eMagin for US$218 million, aiming to become an XR giant

According to news from this site on October 19, in May this year, Samsung Display announced the acquisition of eMagin, an American OLED research and development company, to promote RGB OLEDoS technology to meet Apple’s future extended reality (XR) head-mounted display screen needs.

Today, eMagin announced that it has completed the acquisition and the company has officially become a Samsung Display subsidiary, specifically responsible for developing OLEDoS technology for XR devices. According to reports, the transaction was an all-cash transaction, valued at approximately US$218 million (note on this site: currently approximately RMB 1.596 billion).

#According to reports, Samsung acquired eMagin to advance RGB OLEDoS technology to meet Apple’s future extended reality (XR) head-mounted display screen needs.

RGB OLEDoS technology is a display technology that combines semiconductors and OLED panels. It can achieve ultra-high resolution in a tiny size and has the advantages of high brightness, high contrast, high PPI, fast response speed and low power consumption. Mainly suitable for AR/VR equipment.

Sony is currently the leader in the field of OLEDoS. It uses white organic light-emitting material OLED as a light source with red, green, and blue filters to achieve display effects. Its technology still has a lot of room for improvement.

Samsung Display has also made long-term plans to develop this technology. It is expected to provide OLEDoS screens in 2024, with a resolution of up to 3000ppi per inch and a brightness of 10000nit. However, Samsung Display’s ultimate goal is OLEDoS screens. The resolution reaches between 6000ppi and 7000ppi.

RGB OLEDoS The current technical challenge is to deposit sub-pixels densely together. eMagin developed a technology called direct patterning (dPd), which does not use color filters. In addition, the company also has its own silicon backplane technology.
