Headquartered in South Korea, Samsung Display has production plants in China, Vietnam, and India, and operates sales offices in six countries.

The company was established as S-LCD Corporation in April 2004 in Chungcheongnam-do as a joint venture between Samsung Electronics (51% share) and Sony Corporation (49% share) to manufacture amorphous TFT LCD panels.

S-LCD originally had production facilities in both Japan and South Korea.

The company launched on July 1 by merging S-LCD Corporation and Samsung Mobile Display (Samsung's OLED manufacturing division), becoming the world's largest display company.
