Youngwoo DSP is showing strong performance. It is interpreted to be influenced by the news that Samsung Electronics and Samsung Display are joining forces to commercialize micro OLED.
As of 1:21 PM on the 31st, Youngwoo DSP is trading at 1,544 KRW, up 5.32% compared to the previous day.
According to industry sources, Samsung Display is reportedly pushing forward with micro OLED development in collaboration with Samsung Electronics' Device Solutions (DS) Foundry Division. The Samsung Electronics DS division is responsible for wafer design and circuit implementation, while Samsung Display is likely to handle everything from OLED deposition to the final display completion.
While Sony is currently considered the leader in micro OLED, the industry is paying attention to whether Samsung Electronics, the world's largest semiconductor company, and Samsung Display, the number one OLED manufacturer, can surpass Sony by joining forces.
Samsung's micro OLED is also expected to be applied to XR devices developed in cooperation with Samsung Electronics, Qualcomm, and Google. Samsung, Qualcomm, and Google announced their plans to develop XR devices at the Galaxy smartphone event last February.
Meanwhile, Youngwoo DSP is known to supply micro OLED inspection equipment to Samsung Display. The inspection equipment determines defects in the cells, modules, and panels that make up OLEDs. This equipment applies vision algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI) inspection technology, enabling automation of the inspection process and improvement in defect detection quality when introduced.
