Bengbu Zhongguang Optoelectronics developed China's first 8.6-Gen OLED glass substrate

China-based Bengbu Zhongguang Optoelectronics Technology, in collaboration with researchers from the CNBM Glass New Materials Research Institute have developed China's first 8.6-Gen glass substrate product.

The reports from China suggest that the first substrate samples have been produced at Bengbu's production line, and the company is ready to start mass producing the substrates commercially.

OLED makers are moving to construct 8.6-Gen AMOLED production lines to support lower cost (and high capacity) production of IT AMOLED displays. Samsung Display has already started building its 8.6-Gen IT AMOLED line, and so has BOE. Visionox is said to have started its own line as well. LG Display is considering such a new, as do other display makers. There were reports that TCL is also considering such a new line, but these were denied by TCL.
