LCD screens have been rapidly becoming widespread since their launch. With the development of technology, the LCD screens are being equipped with new features, and finding new areas of use with every single development. While the cap of the flat screen market was a several billion dollars years ago, today it has risen to tens of billions, and many companies have started to manufacture panels. It is estimated that the display sector, where the demand is increasing with the addition of new devices every day, will reach a value of 169 billion dollars in 2022. Ozdisan Elektronik, Türkiye’s largest supplier and distributor of electronic components with 37 years of experience, also saw this growth in the sector and joined forces with the Chinese SAT Group, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of TFT LCD panels & modules.
One of the three largest display manufacturers in the world
Ozdisan has ensured a place among the global players after the partnership it established with China-based SAT Group, which offers industrial applications, tablet PC, mobile devices, automotive, smart building, medical devices, billboards, video intercom systems/door-phone applications, touch TFT LCD products and other industrial applications to the market. Ozdisan, which guided the said company on investments based on advanced technology, fast and high-quality production approach, ensured that the company, named “SATOZ”, was among the top three in China and the world at the end of 2016.
The partnership, whose negotiations was started in the early 2013, was completed in the last quarter of the same year with an investment of $ 20 million. The company’s turnover, which was $28 million before the partnership, increased to $89 million at the end of 2016. SATOZ, which will continue its investments throughout 2017 – 2018, has started to implement the planned investment of $12 million in order to support innovation and technological developments in this process. The company’s turnover target for 2017 is $115 million. After the significant changes occurred in the logic structure of the company with the synergy of the DMY Group, investments were implemented quickly, profitability doubled and turnover increased by 3 times. The company plans to start touch panel production at the end of 2017. With this development, SATOZ will become the most important manufacturer for many applications.
“Ozdisan ensured that the company, which took the name SATOZ, was in the top three in China and the world at the end of 2016.”
OLED Screens Will Expand Their Market Share
OLED screens will coexist with LCD screens in the future, and the OLED market will grow daily with technological developments. OLED products, which act as a completely organic light source without the need for any backlight, are long-lasting and keep energy savings at the highest level as they produce light “only” in the cell at the relevant point. Since no liquid is used in OLED products, the operating temperatures of the products can rise above 85°C, making them the most important indicator products for automotive applications. Ozdisan Elektronik has been serving as the only authorized distributor of Winstar company in Türkiye for many years. Winstar company is rapidly progressing towards becoming one of the most important players in the market, with the OLED products it has developed. You can easily access OLED screens produced in character and graphics via Ozdisan inventory, and produce energy-saving products in your new designs.
