Južnokorejski mediji Thelec so 6. aprila preko industrijskih virov poročali, da China Boe načrtuje izgradnjo proizvodne linije 8.6 generacije (2250 x 2600 mm) za organske{5}}sevalne diode (OLED) za IT v svoji tovarni B16 v Chengduju, provinca Sečuan, z mesečno zmogljivostjo 15,000 (15K) kosov, nastavljeno za množično proizvodnjo do konca leta 2024.
In response to investors' questions, BOE said today (April 6), "Our plan in this respect is based on full communication with customers on the basis of pre-research, the project team is currently carrying out strategic, market, technical, financial and other aspects of the evaluation, is still in active discussion. Also, the design capacity is definitely not 15K/ month, which is uneconomical."
Ker Apple namerava uporabiti OLED za IT izdelke, kot sta iPad (tablični računalnik) in MacBook (prenosni računalnik), se je kot naslednja pojavila tehnologija OLED 8.-generacije (8.5/8.6 generacije) za IT{{6} }generacijsko bojišče. Izdelava 10-palčnega ali več IT OLED z 8G žico je bolj ekonomična kot obstoječa 6g (1500x1850mm) žica. Za 13,3-palčne plošče lahko šesta generacija izdela 48 kosov, generacija 8,5 (2200x2500 mm) pa 96 kosov, kar podvoji zmogljivost.
Samsung Display and LG Display are both currently planning to produce the first iPad OLED in the 6th generation line, but they are already working on the 8.5 generation OLED technology for Apple'S IT products, with mass production expected around 2024.
Boe načrtuje, da bo kot generacijo 8.6 tehnologije za nanašanje OLED uporabljal-polodrezano vodoravno nanašanje, je zapisano v poročilu. Obstoječa tehnologija OLED 6. generacije, ki se večinoma uporablja za proizvodnjo OLED pametnih telefonov, uporablja tudi polovično-odrezano vodoravno metodo nanašanja.
LG Display razvija tehnologijo 8,5-polovnega-polovičnega reza-tehnologijo, Samsung Display pa 8,5-gen full-tehnologijo reza/navpičnega odlaganja, vendar razvoj 8,5-gen tehnologije polovičnega reza/horizontalnega odlaganja kot dvotirne tehnologije je bolj vplivna.
Boe is said to be in contact with Japan's Canon Tokki, but has not yet asked Cannon to secure slots for the evaporator. (Slot is a verbal request prior to the signing of a Letter of Intent to purchase (LOI) and a formal order (PO))
Boe plans to take the lead in testing OLED technologies for IT products in other production lines before building the 8.6 generation OLED line. For example, the realization of the "double stack series" structure is to stack the red (R) green (G) blue (B) luminous layer into two layers, compared with RGB luminous layer stacked in one layer of the "single stack" mode, two stack series makes the screen brightness increase twice, product life extension four times. Apple prefers two-layer oleds in series for IT.
Konec lanskega leta je družba BOE spremenila uporabo obrata Chongqing B12 faze III v OLED za pametne telefone, IT in vozila. Sprva, tako kot fazi 1 in 2, je cilj proizvodne linije faze 3 izdelati 6. generacijo prilagodljivih OLed-jev, predvsem za pametne telefone. Vendar pa je za izdelavo 10-palčnega iPad OLED potrebna drugačna tehnologija kot obstoječi 6,1-palčni iPhone OLED, saj procesi, kot je odlaganje organskih materialov, neizogibno postanejo težji, ko se območje poveča.
Power consumption can also be reduced by applying two-layer series OLED to smartphones. Boe also plans to produce dual-laminated series OLED for smartphones in the second half of the third year at its B7 plant in Chengdu, sources said. B7 used to produce OLED for Apple's iPhone, but utilization of B7 declined as BOE's B11 line in Mianyang, which had planned to be dedicated to the iPhone, began normal operation.
However, Samsung Display and LG Display are likely to build 8.5-generation OLED lines for IT as soon as possible. Samsung Display has been evaluating 8.5-generation full-cut vertical deposition with Japan's Ulvac last year, and LG Display has been evaluating 8.5-generation OLED deposition for IT since December at partner Sunic System's Paju plant in Gyeonggi Province.
