在此之前，LGD 一直使用三星、铠侠、晶豪科技（ESMT）的存储方案，其中晶豪科技的 eMMC 采用三星 MLC NAND 进行封装，而铠 侠则使用自产 MLC NAND 进行供应。这意味着，如果三星电子 MLC NAND 停产，LGD 现有供应商将只剩下铠侠一家。LG Display 正 寻求更多供应商。 据称，LG Display 也在物色替代三星的 MLC NAND 供应商，主要包括用于大尺寸 OLED 面板的 4GB eMMC。 IT之家 5 月 27 日消息，韩国 TheElec 报道称，三星电子当地时间 26 日对客户透露 MLC NAND 闪存即将停产，计划在下个月接受最后 的 MLC 芯片订单。 TheElec 报道称，三星电子在通报最后 MLC NAND 排产计划的同时，还向部分客户通报了 MLC 涨价的计划，促使客户开始寻求新的替 代供应商。 消息人士称，三星电子等公司向 LGD 供应的 4GB eMMC 价格约为 2 美元（IT之家注：现汇率约合 14.4 元人民币）。由于三星电子 MLC NAND 计划停产，导致 eMMC 产品价格立即上涨。不过，由于这种 eMMC 均采用传统工艺且材 ...
