Samsung Display announced on October 19, 2026, that it is enhancing its focus on ink-jet printing technology for RGB OLED production, a shift aimed at eliminating the need for fine metal mask (FMM) components. This development comes shortly after LG Display introduced its own non-FMM technology called Flip, escalating competition in the OLED sector. Industry reports suggest that Samsung Display has initiated discussions with various partners regarding the establishment of a trial line for ink-jet printed OLEDs.
This strategic move by Samsung Display is seen as a pivotal moment in the OLED manufacturing landscape, as the company aims to reduce production costs and enhance scalability in RGB OLED manufacturing. The increased competition from LG Display’s Flip technology has motivated Samsung to strengthen its position in the market, particularly for applications in laptops and monitors.
Samsung Display’s commitment to ink-jet printing could significantly transform the efficiency of OLED production, addressing challenges that have historically impacted scalability.
In a related development, Super Micro Computer Inc (SMCI) has a Price-to-Sales (P/S) ratio of approximately 0.56, well below its historical median. This suggests that traditional earnings metrics, such as the Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio, may not apply due to the company’s unprofitability. SMCI’s GF Score™ stands at 85 out of 100, indicating strong growth potential and promising profitability metrics.
While insider trading indicates caution among SMCI leadership—with $24.44 million in insider sales reported over the past three months—the general sentiment among institutional investors appears positive, as eight gurus currently hold shares of the company, with many increasing their positions lately.
SMCI specializes in high-performance server and storage solutions, serving data center operators and cloud service providers across the United States, Europe, and Asia. Its market capitalization is approximately $20.78 billion.
As Samsung Display continues to innovate in OLED technology, stakeholders and investors are watching closely to see how these advancements will impact the competitive landscape and the company’s future. The upcoming trial line for ink-jet printed OLEDs may be a critical step forward for the company in this rapidly changing market.
