TOKYO -- Canon is looking to start producing materials used in next-generation, flexible light displays in a bid to cultivate new business arenas as the OLED panels become more common in smartphones and TVs, its chairman said in an interview with Nikkei.
Canon currently uses organic light-emitting diode displays in mirrorless cameras. The panels are also expected to become more widely used in video production and medical equipment, given the shift toward high-definition imagery in these fields, fueling demand for materials used in the panels.
