Samsung orders 15M mid-range OLED panels from CSOT amid cost pressure
What happened
Samsung Electronics is shifting approximately 15 million mid-range smartphone OLED panel orders from its in-house production to China Star Optoelectronics Technology (CSOT). This move is driven by intensifying cost pressure, primarily from rising memory prices. 利空: This indicates a potential oversupply and pricing pressure for Samsung's own display division as it cedes volume to a lower-cost competitor.
