Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the recent developments in the OLED industry, particularly focusing on the 8.6 generation AMOLED production lines being established by major manufacturers like Visionox, BOE, Samsung Display, and TCL Huaxing. The introduction of new technologies, especially Visionox's ViP technology, is highlighted as a significant advancement in OLED production, which could reshape the competitive landscape in the high-end display market [2][9]. Summary by Sections Visionox's 8.6 Generation AMOLED Production Line - Visionox, in collaboration with Hefei City, has established Hefei Guoxian Technology Co., Ltd. to procure core equipment for its 8.6 generation AMOLED production line, with a total investment of 55 billion RMB. This line is notable for being the world's first to use a maskless lithography process [2][9]. ViP Technology - The ViP (Visionox intelligent Pixelization) technology developed by Visionox eliminates the need for fine metal masks (FMM), allowing for more precise AMOLED pixelation and overcoming traditional OLED limitations regarding display size and resolution. However, the process still requires initial uniform deposition of organic light-emitting materials [3][5]. Competitive Landscape - Four major manufacturers are currently building 8.6 generation OLED production lines, each adopting different technological approaches. Samsung Display, BOE, and Visionox have confirmed the purchase of deposition equipment, while TCL Huaxing is focusing on printed OLED technology [4][6]. Technology Comparison - A comparison of different OLED technologies reveals that FMM OLED uses precise metal masks, while ViP OLED utilizes lithography for pixel design, and printed OLED employs inkjet printing. ViP technology is expected to achieve higher pixel density (1700-2000 PPI) compared to traditional methods [5][6]. Production Progress - As of 2025, major manufacturers are accelerating the construction of their 8.6 generation OLED lines. Samsung Display's A6 line is expected to begin mass production in the second or third quarter of 2026, while BOE and Visionox are also making significant progress towards their production timelines [7][8].
