Sumitomo Chemical Won't Have 40-Inch OLED Panels In 2009

It seems an initial report that stated Sumitomo Chemical would have 40-inch OLED panels ready for shipment next year was taken out of context. A source now says that Sumitomo president Hiromasa Yonekura was "misquoted" during his speech regarding the OLED panels and the timescale was misreported. "Sumitomo is working with partners so the timing of any product launch is not just [its] call," said Cambridge Display Technologies, a company that's playing a big part in the bigscreen OLED panel development. In the end, we're probably looking at a shipping date that'll fall post-2010.
