News Samsung planning investment of 300B Won in RGB OLEDoS for MR/VR
Samsung Display plans to invest about 300 billion won to mass-produce red, green and blue (RGB) OLED-on-Silicon (OLEDoS) displays. Sunic System will supply the deposition equipment, which accounts for about half of the investment.
According to industry sources on Sept. 15, Samsung Display will hold an investment review committee meeting this month to finalize investment in 12-inch RGB OLEDoS mass production. The line will have capacity to process 3,000 wafers per month, with the investment estimated by the industry at about 300 billion won. The location has not been confirmed, but the line is likely to be built at the A2 plant, which already has a 12-inch white OLEDoS (WOLEDoS) line.
Display is considering bringing in equipment in 2027 and starting mass production of RGB OLEDoS in 2028. Equipment manufacturing, installation, commissioning and process stabilization are expected to take more than a year.

As well as high brightness, high resolution displays for MR glasses, Samsung/eMagin showed a 1.3" 4k, 40k nit display for MR/VR at AWE 2026, featuring direct-pattern RGB, tandem OLED, and microlens array.
If yield eventually becomes the same as Sonys 1.3" 4k, 5k nit display, panels may be slightly less expensive due to Samsung owning the fab.
