OLED Screen Shortage Continues – Samsung struggling to cope up with demand

OLED screens are in great demand, especially among users who go for high-end products. This has resulted in product manufacturers scaling up the demand for OLED screens which is good for Industry. Now the sad part of the story is that Samsung’s VP of Marketing, Lee Wong-jong announced that Samsung would probably not be able to fulfill all the demands being placed upon it for OLED screens.

Lee further added that “… demand for high-end displays is very strong and we may continue to fail to meet all customer requirements, even after expanding capacity by seven-fold, until next year.” Smaung have been desperately trying to keep up with demand and the shortfall is having noticeable effects on consumers, especially as smartphone sales look to be 50% higher this year than last.

For instance, Verizon in the U.S. reports that the Droid Incredible hasn’t outsold the DROID, largely due to the fact that not enough screens can be produced to make Droid Incredibles. For their part Samsung have committed to spending some $2.15 billion to build the world’s lrgest supply of AMOLED displays by 2012.
