S-LCD was a joint venture between Samsung Electronics and Sony. Sony exited the joint venture last year. Samsung Mobile Display produces OLED panels for mobile devices.

The newly established company has 26,000 employees in Korea and 13,000 overseas with combined annual sales of some 3 trillion won ($2 billion).

It said that Samsung Display, with a slogan of “Displays Beyond Imagination,” will maximize synergy in liquid crystal display and organic light-emitting diode businesses, and further strengthen its capacity in OLED technology.
