2023-10-08

Recently, according to Korean media ETnews reported that TCL CSOT is carrying out work to move the JOLED factory to China. It is reported that the separation and transfer of equipment will be completed within the year, and the facility is expected to be put into operation next year. It is reported that TCL Huaxing, as the domestic display panel leader, began to lay out the inkjet printing OLED field very early, and set up a printing display R & D department internally in 2014, and began to develop printed flexible OLED technology and successfully displayed samples in 2019.

At this year's DIC EXPO 2023 China (Shanghai) International Display Technology and Application Innovation Exhibition, TCL CSOT showcased the world's first 65" 8K printed OLED display.

This is the world's first 65" 8K printed OLED display launched by TCL CSOT, and it is also the world's largest OLED product with the highest size, resolution and refresh rate developed based on inkjet printing technology so far. The screen adopts IGZO TFT backplane technology, 120Hz drive system, and ultra-precision inkjet printing technology, with 33 million ultra-high pixels; The new ink material increases the viewing Angle of the screen to 135° and the DCI-P3 color gamut to more than 99%, with millions of contrast levels for top visual effects.

The product is a new OLED display launched by TCL Huaxing, which has been improved compared with the previous generation in terms of refresh rate, brightness and narrow bezel, and has also introduced advanced technologies such as IR drop countermeasures and OLED compensation, which has completed another innovative breakthrough in the field of printed OLED.

The introduction of JOLED production line equipment by TCL CSOT can be interpreted as the intention to further strengthen the commercialization of OLED based on inkjet printing technology. A display industry executive said TCL CSOT has been making efforts to secure OLED technology through JOLED, including investing 20 billion yen (about 1.3 billion yuan) in JOLED since 2020 and gaining an 11 percent stake in JOLed. It is reported that TCL Huaxing has been developing inkjet printing, and it seems that they are trying to use JOLED devices this time.

Because inkjet printing technology has many advantages: first, the utilization rate of OLED material in evaporation process is low, and the utilization rate of OLED material in printing process can reach about 90%; Second, evaporation requires a vacuum environment, inkjet printing does not need a vacuum environment; Third, the device structure of the printing process is simpler, so after commercialization, it can be used to go to the market at a more affordable price. Therefore, TCL CSOT, a leading display company in China, has introduced the device in order to use inkjet printing in the production of next-generation displays that will replace liquid crystal displays (LCDS).
