News on March 17th, according to foreign media reports, due to the tight production capacity of chip foundries and unable to meet strong foundry demand, the supply of chips in many fields such as automobiles and smartphone processors is relatively tight, and the scope of influence is still expanding. .
English media reports show that the supply of LCD panel display driver chips has not kept up with demand, and manufacturers are considering increasing prices.
According to new reports in English media, it is not only the shortage of display driver chips for LCD panels, but also similar problems with OLED panels. Samsung's rigid OLED panels have been affected.
The English media quoted information disclosed by industry chain sources, reporting that Samsung's rigid OLED panels are facing problems with the supply of display driver chips. Sources in this industry chain said that due to the tight supply of display driver chips, Samsung has increased the price of rigid OLED panels.
Judging from reports in English media, Samsung has increased the price of rigid OLED panels by 5%-8%.
The English media also mentioned in the report that Samsung's tight supply of display driver chips is related to the suspension of production at their chip factory in Austin. In mid-February, due to the large-scale blackout caused by the winter storm, Samsung and many other companies stopped production at their chip factories in Austin, and Samsung's factories have not yet recovered. Before the shutdown, this factory could produce 20,000 wafers of display driver chips per month.
