Smaller companies doing better out of OLED

While the bigger tech companies are being battered trying to get making organic light emitting diode (OLED) screens to market, smaller Japanese gear makers are doing rather well.

According to Reuters the smaller Japanese equipment makers are booming in niche areas further up the OLED manufacturing process.

Smaller Japanese equipment makers including Canon Tokki and Dai Nippon Printing have seen strong OLED-related orders from Samsung Display. This is odd as other Japanese OLED makers Sharp and Sony have struggled against the scale of their Asian rivals.

Tokki is a unit of Canon and makes the vacuum evaporators used to make OLED panels. It is booked out for several years. Its CEO Teruhisa Tsugami said it will need to double production capacity this year to meet strong demand from clients including South Korean, Japanese and Chinese panel makers. Tokki works closely with Samsung in the same way that those small fish clean the teeth of huge sharks.
