On Wednesday, Chinese leading display panel manufacturer BOE started construction of its first 8.6-gen AMOLED production line in Chengdu, Sichuan, with an investment of around RMB 63 billion ($8.72 billion). This is the largest single investment in the manufacturing sector in the history of industrial development in Sichuan, a province located in southwestern China. The upcoming production line is expected to occupy around 1,400 acres, boasting a planned monthly capacity of 32,000 glass substrates. The company claims that the production line, primarily targeting high-end OLED displays for laptops and tablets, is set to enter mass production in the fourth quarter of 2026, with an annual output value surpassing RMB 40 billion ($5.53 billion) at full capacity.
