Innox Advanced Material to Supply Back Plate Film to Samsung
July 01, 2019 South Korean manufacturer Innox Advanced Materials (IAM) will begin to supply the back plate film, which is an adhesive attached to the rear surface of a flexible display to serve as a reinforcement plate that prevent panels from curling. IAM has been supplying Samsung Display since last year. Previously, Japan’s Nitto Denko had been the sole supplier. IAM was spun off from Innox Corp. – has proven its ability to compete against Nitto Denko and qualified as a second source. LG Display chose IAM to supply its encapsulation film for OLED TV panels because of both cost and performance. IAM opened an encapsulation film plant last July, to support LG’s Hen 8.5 fab in Guangzhou of Guangdong Province. LG Chem filed a lawsuit against its panel tech rival Innox Advanced Materials for infringing its film patents. LG Chem is a rival to IAM that also supplies panel encapsulation film to LG Display.
