Samsung sells its all ASML stakes to expand semiconductor business
Samsung Electronics sold its entire ASML stakes, to expand its semiconductor business. The Korean tech giant is increasing its investment in high-bandwidth memory, a high-value product, and an ultra-fine process foundry of 3nm or less to strengthen future competitiveness.
The maker announced that it had expanded investments to focus on preparing for future growth despite poor performance. In 2023, the company spent KRW 53.1 trillion and KRW 28.34 trillion on facility investment (CAPEX) and R&D, which were all-time high on an annual basis.
Furthermore, the South Korean tech giant sold off all of its ASML shares during the fourth quarter of last year and achieved profit eight times more than the original investment amount. The total stake sale amount estimated based on the ASML book value is 6.1 trillion won.
While, the amount of stocks disposed of last year was about 5.5 trillion won, plus the sale proceeds of 600 billion won in 2016. This means that an investment of 700 billion won earned.

Samsung just got approval for a display innovation patent, which it applied to last year. United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) recently published the Samsung patent, which was filed on April 30, 2023, with publication number US20240138190A1.
As Samsung continues to innovate, the Display division is about to bring a major breakthrough. The latest patent showcases display technology featuring a pixel circuit with a unique concave base layer design. It’s said to enhance capacitor integration for sharper, more efficient screens.
Here’s what the patent says:
The published patent showcases a display device that has a pixel circuit layer including a base layer and a pixel circuit disposed on the base layer, and a light-emitting element disposed on the base layer and electrically connected to the pixel circuit.

Pixel circuit retains a transistor and a storage capacitor including a first and second capacitor electrode, with the base layer including a concave portion. At least a portion of each of the first and second capacitor electrodes is disposed of in the concave portion.
Simply put, the display patent describes a new layout design that helps improve the overall performance and flexibility of the display device. As the patent took a year to be approved, we might hear more about it from Samsung during its display innovation summits.
