And ship building yesteryears
Kateeva would probably go out of business without the Chinese so unless the Murikkkans are willing to cut the nose to spite the face ,they will play nice with Kateeva's customers .
.This was in 2020 btw
US-based OLED inkjet printing developer announced a massive layoff plan - the company will slash its staff by 144 employees, including a number of executives - its president, CMO and COO.
This is sad news - and surprising as well as Kateeva seems to be on the forefront of OLED inkjet printing. Kateeve raised over $125 million (including ) and is working with , BOE, , and other companies. The company is leading with ink-jet printing of OLED encapsulation materials and was set to supply Samsung with the for SDC's upcoming QD-OLED TV line.
According to Andrew M. Abrams from Supply Chain Market Research, Samsung decided to adopt different QD ink-jet printing tools from Korea-based SEMES instead of Kateeva. Kateeva was banking on Samsung's orders and the loss of that business is the main reason behind the recent layoffs.
According to Andrew Kateeva is set to receive a new investment from Chinese investors - and as part of that deal the company's focus will shift sharply to support Chinese companies in their drive towards OLED encapsulation ink jet printing, to the point where OLED material printing deposition will no longer be developed at Kateeva.
Yes. Koreans had their own inkjet technology. SK ( Samsung) came first to the market with OLEDs. Kateeva was a startup from MIT hitting the market with its deposition tech after 2010s.Kateeva would probably go out of business without the Chinese so unless the Murikkkans are willing to cut the nose to spite the face ,they will play nice with Kateeva's customers .

The Japanese however have the highest quality encapsulation technology ( with moisture content below 0.01%). This means less degradation over time for the organic LEDs.
Don't know further regarding these.
And ship building yesteryears
Ship building belongs to a different industrial category, probably should be grouped together with construction machinery and equipment, TBMs, high-speed rail and metros, as well as ultra voltage electricity transmission lines etc. All industries China leads or is among the leaders.
The flat panel display industry on the other hand should be grouped together roughly with solar panel and semiconductor. They even share some similarities in components and production processes.
Not sure about the electric vehicle industry. Maybe they belong to the first category, but the battery feels more affinity with the second category. Or maybe they belong to a category of their own, integrating subsystems from other industries.
Thank you for sharing a fantastic and well researched article detailing the existential battle that engulfs the Sino-U.S. conflict. The writer laid bare the current struggle and why it has come to this sorry state because it must which crystallize for me the necessity and the urgency for the U.S. to lose it's economic hegemony/stranglehold of the entire world where countries like China are expected to play their subservient role and no more.
From the article:
"Here we can draw a clue about the reasons why the United States has become more aggressive toward China. If China were to indulge itself with the role of cheap labor platform, U.S. hegemony would enjoy a longer period of glory."

Any Chinese inkjet equivalent here?
