Korea has well balanced three pillars of flexible display technology.
Asia is the hub of consumer electronics in manufacturing and consumption
Korea has full line front and backend base for Smartphone & mobile devices
Germany is technically mature but brand and marketing wise immature
Japan is also technically mature but totally isolated and finally become Galapagos

2. Executive Summary
• Smartphone has business opportunities in mechanical parts & materials
• The blue ocean of Smartphone value chain is HW components with novel materials
• Production R&D process is the key to HW components business success
• Without industry cluster support, a product can not be well commercialized
• Smartphone has only two areas left profitable, its components and DCS

8. Korean Industry Cluster
Korea’s Industrial Advantage
Without industry cluster support, a product can not be well commercialized
DEVELOPMENT OF MATERIALS
MANUFACTURING OF NOVEL MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS
MARKETING OF COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND APPLICATIONS
With world's leading chemicals corporations, such as LG Chem and SK chemical and world market
leader in electronic components such as LG Innotech, SDI & others, Korean industry clusters have
excellent industrial expertise in novel material and electronic components development.
Leading companies are active in Korean clusters to produce novel materials and electronic components
The commercialization of new technology is also well represented in Korean clusters. Samsung and LG are
not only producing but also marketing various electronics products. Other small and medium size electronic
components and product manufacturers are active as well in Korean industry clusters
