Samsung will reportedly get Touch ICs and DDIs from Silicon Works

Samsung and LG are one of the largest electronics manufacturers in the world. Also, these OEMs are actually the biggest rivals of each other in terms of manufacturing and selling various consumer products such as smartphones, TVs, washing machines, refrigerators, and so on.

Moreover, recent reports claim that the Korean tech giant will be getting way stronger as it may secure the key supplier of its fellow company. According to the ET News, Silicon Works could be shipping DDIs (Display Driver IC) and touch ICs (Integrated Circuits) to Samsung Electronics and Samsung Display in the coming months.

If you don’t know, Silicon works are the biggest fabless semiconductor design company in South Korea that usually supplies its semiconductor solutions to LG Display. However, it looks like the company will soon separate from LG later this year.

Coming back, currently, Samsung gets the DDIs from its System LSI Business and MagnaChip Semiconductor Corp. But looking at the increasing demand for integrated circuits, Silicon Works might also join the party for boosting up the supply chain.

Samsung and Silicon Works partnership

The report mentioned that it is not the first time that Silicon Works and Samsung are partnering, as these firms had already worked together last year. However, for this time the modus operandi of collaboration is different, which is supplying DDIs. So, if this cooperation of working together goes well, then we might see smartphones of Samsung having the DDIs of Silicon works, in the second half of 2021.
