Invest KOREA

Established by Samsung Display, a leader of Korea's display industry, Asan Display City grew as Korea's top display industry hub. Based on excellent accessibility, high industrial connectivity, and active exchanges between industry players, universities and research institutes, it is serving as the main base for Korea's display industry and producing high value-added products by developing next-generation display technology..

As of 2021, Asan Display City has six companies that employ 14,228 workers and produced sales worth KRW 31,849,534 million. The average sales per capita is KRW 2,863 million, and exports amount to KRW 21,127,263 million.

Asan Display City is optimally situated to amass core competencies and enable strategic cooperation as a display production center. In the complex, there are eleven universities training and supplying display experts and a strong channel facilitating the cooperation among related industries including the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology, Techno Parks (TPs) and key agencies supporting technology development such as the Korea Automotive Technology Institute. After the designation in July 2023 as an industrial complex specializing in one of the national strategic high-tech industries (i.e., display), it is expected to emerge as the center of the national display industry belt.

As the complex is highly accessible to the semiconductor industry in terms of technology, it can seek joint growth with the semiconductor industry, which is another national strategic industry, by training and sourcing experts together and cooperating for the transition to micro LED and nano LED. Moreover, Asan Display City is expected to bring a significant ripple effect to the local economy and industry as it is closely linked with the region's main industry (i.e., automotive) and can tap into the growth of the automotive display market.
