Abstract
Large AMOLED Backplane Patent Trend Analysis report studies AMOLED
backplane technology patents of Korea, U.S., Japan, and Europe that were
issued prior to June 10, 2010 and selects 2,310 valid patents out of 9,154 raw
data. The patent trend is analyzed based on a technology classification system
consists of a-Si TFT, LTPS, Oxide TFT, SGC(Super Grain Silicon), SPC(Solid
Phase Crystallization), and others(MIC, MILC, etc.).
Chapter 1 discusses the technology overview, technology classification
system, search formula, search result, and valid patent status.
Chapter 2 offers statistical analysis result such as overall trend,
detailed technology trend, and applicant trend to be used as basic data for
effective R&D strategy establishment based on the understanding of AMOLED
backplane technology R&D. In particular, the applicant trend analysis offers
patent application status regarding top 10 multiple patent applicants
including Korea based Samsung subsidiary, LG subsidiary, Japan based Sharp,
Sony, Matsushita, Sanyo, Seiko Epson, Toshiba, Semiconductor Energy Lab, and
Taiwan based AUO. It also includes a list of overall applicant by region such
as Korea, U.S., Japan, and Europe.
Chapter 3 offers annual trend of detailed technology, applicant trend,
key patent status (U.S. patent citation analysis-based key patent selection),
and key patent abstract. The major patent applicant trend selected key patents
of 4 companies including Samsung, LG, Sony, and AUO and offers annual patent
activity status, technology trend, patent list, technology development figure,
and patent abstract.
Chapter 4 offers a comprehensive summary of AMOLED backplane technology
patent trend based on the patent trend analysis and in-depth analysis result.
Likewise, this report analyzes patent trends of a-Si TFT, LTPS TFT, Oxide TFT,
SGC (Super Grain Silicon), SPC (Solid Phase Crystallization), and others (MIC,
MILC, etc.) as detailed technologies of AMOLED backplane. The report
illustrates fields with active technology development at a glance. In
addition, the in-depth analysis selects key patents by technology and major
applicant to discuss contents of technology. It intends to assist in related
technology development, patent application, and patent dispute countermeasure.
