Electronics manufacturer Samsung has declared that the Transparent OLED display panel is no longer cost effective to produce, effectively ending its production.

A key component in all Transparent OLED products on the market, the display panel was being used by Crystal Display Systems before the announcement by Samsung.

CDS director Tony Large said: “Without large volume take up on products, fabrication becomes impossible. Coupled with issues of production yield, and fragility, the outcome is not entirely unexpected.

“The risk now is that companies in the Far East, Europe and US may want to offload product as soon as possible to avoid the risk of being stuck with unsupported parts.

“Our advice to people that have committed to this product should try to cancel / return if possible due to the risk of no product and limited support going forward, or if you are going to receive the product ensure you have 3+ year warranty for parts and labour to protect themselves and clients.”
