According to Digitimes website PMOLED panel maker RiTdisplay has expanded monthly production capacity from 15,000 glass substrates to 18,000 units, and will further expand monthly capacity by 40% to 25,200 glass substrates by the end of 2017, the company president and CEO DC Wang is reported to have said at an investors conference.
In terms of technology, RiTdisplay has no substantial competitors in the below 2-inch PMOLED panel segment and aims to keep benefiting from the niche market, Wang said.
RiTdisplay will not extend development and production to AMOLED units because AMOLED entails large investment and there are many new competitors for AMOLED panels, especially Chinese based ones, Wang explained.
