Word on the street is that Samsung is asking around to get more facilities that can provide a monthly production capacity of 9 million panels for the Galaxy S7 edge. Apparently it is worried that will not have a smooth supply. Samsung has already switched on its A2 and Tangjeong A3 flexible OLED lines at the Asan facility in the South Chungcheong province for the Galaxy S7 edge.

However what is surprising is that it may not be enough. The A2 5.5-generation line can produce more than  24,000 pieces of mother glass per month while Samsung's A3 6-generation line can manage 15,000 pieces. One piece of 6-generation mother glass can yield 300 5-inch display panels for smartphones and one piece of the 5.5-generation can yield 220 panels. Both production lines combined can produce up to 9 million flexible OLED panels per month when they are at maximum yield rates.

Samsung was caught on the hop last year when the slightly more expensive Galaxy S6 edge was actually preferred by customers and tfor several months it was in short supply. But wanting more panels is rather optimistic..
