BOE's first flexible AMOLED will ship at the end of October 2017
In May of this year, reports surfaced that BOE had started producing flexible OLEDs at its newly built 6th-generation (B7) plant in Chengdu. While the news seems encouraging, a recent report from Japan suggests that BOE's goal is to ship its first flexible OLEDs from the Chengdu facility by the end of October 2017. This timeline indicates that the company is pushing forward with its ambitions in the flexible display market.
The new Chengdu plant has a monthly production capacity of 45,000 units, which is sufficient to meet the annual demand for approximately 90 million smartphone-sized AMOLED panels. Although initial output may be limited, the plant represents a significant step forward for BOE in expanding its OLED manufacturing capabilities.
In addition to the Chengdu plant, BOE announced in October 2016 the construction of another 6th-generation OLED plant in Mianyang. The Mianyang facility will also have a monthly production capacity of 45,000 units and is expected to start operations in 2019. The total investment in the Mianyang plant is projected to reach 46.5 billion yuan, highlighting the company’s long-term commitment to the OLED industry.
It remains unclear exactly what types of displays BOE will produce at these new facilities. Industry insiders speculate that the output could include a mix of smartphone-sized screens and wearable displays, targeting both consumer electronics and emerging markets.
In May 2016, BOE showcased several new AMOLED prototypes, including a 4.35-inch flexible and foldable OLED display. The flexible panel features a resolution of 1120 x 480 (HWVGA, 280 PPI), a bend radius of 15 mm, a brightness of 350 nits, and a color gamut covering 100% NTSC. The foldable version shares similar specs but has a tighter bend radius of just 5 mm, demonstrating BOE’s progress in flexible display technology.
Another notable prototype was a 9.55-inch transparent flexible panel, displayed in June 2015. Alongside it, BOE also presented a 4.8-inch 480×800 flexible OLED panel, further showcasing the company’s versatility in developing large and small flexible display solutions.
These developments indicate that BOE is not only expanding its production capacity but also advancing its technological capabilities in the flexible OLED space, positioning itself as a key player in the global display market.
