China's first flexible display production line to go into operation

[Economic superpower]

BEIJING - China's first flexible display production line will go into operation next year, making bracelet-shaped mobile phones and folding tablets, according to BOE Technology Group on Wednesday.

BOE will invest 46.5 billion yuan ($6.99 billion) on its 6-generation AMOLED (active matrix/organic light-emitting diode) production line in Chengdu, Sichuan Province in southwest China.

AMOLED is new technology, physically flexible with a fast response, high contrast and wide visual angles, compared with traditional LCD panels.

BOE is the second company to master flexible display technology and go into mass production, following Samsung.

A cool 46.5 billion yuan investment in AMOLED and by BOE alone?

What about O-film, GVO, Tianma and EverDisplay?

I guess none of them wants to be left behind?

Xiaomi has officially announced Redmi Pro in China. After teasing for quite some time, the device was unveiled with dual-rear camera and an OLED display.

Xiaomi is claiming 100 per cent colour gamut and a superior 60000:1 contrast ratio. The specifications are enough to question whether this OLED panel is from Samsung but the report by Xiaomi Today claims the panel is made by Chinese companies BOE and EverDisplay. The report states EverDisplay (Hui) is the first supplier while BOE is roped in as the second supplier.

The technology behind OLED is so expensive that most smartphone makers have stayed away from using that technology. Samsung, LG and only few others manufacture that kind of panel and the technology is extensively used in the television industry these days.

The smartphone industry generally uses AMOLED display, which is a form of OLED panel with active transistors acting as a switch. The technology is used to accurately enable or disable to sub-pixels of the display panel. The report further states that cost factor is the major reason why Xiaomi opted for OLED panel from a local manufacturer and not an established brand like Samsung.

The OLED panels tend to be thinner and draw less power than conventional LCD displays. Xiaomi’s adoption of OLED panel for a smartphone that is priced at 1,999 Yuan (approximately Rs 20,142) is a sign in the right direction but the bigger question being whether these locally sourced displays be as vibrant or colour rich as the ones from Samsung?

Don't know what it is. Perhaps a translation?

But they do have a plan to spend $223 Billion in next 11 year buying military hardware, and they have MOM, which China can never beat.

Very nice.

Domestic phone makers should also be forced to use Huawei's Kirin or develop their own instead of buying foreign components, even though they may object it.

Competition is always good. We will see more OLED display in more smartphone model, thanks to our ability to keep cost down while offering top-notch technology quality.

They also have made in China micromax.
@Bussard Ramjet great brand!

Micromax is a good brand for Indians with less money than PDF indians.

That's true....
And the more they assemble, the more East Asian countries can earn from the most profitable components export....

It always starts with the assembly, then it moves up. Similar will be the case with India. Assembly, then moving up the ladder.

Also, even markets favor places where assembly happens. It is always more convenient to have suppliers close to the assembly location. This was one reason which helped China. Once assembly moves to India, other peripheral components will move too.

Well, conceit and overconfidence has always done people in.

This was the same conceit of Japanese against the Chinese during the 70s.

If you look at history, and study the historical trend, then the per capita GDP before 1600s was almost the same for everybody in the world. India and China were also almost equal in per capita GDP.

Now, somehow you come claiming that it is inherently impossible for a big fraction of world's population to be better. On what basis? Today's statistics are not the representative of the future.

If you have some honesty left, try thinking it from a Japanese view point, and think about a Japanese ultra-nationalist who was claiming that China, the sick men of Asia, can never amount to much in the 70s. Except by 2015, China had 3 times the GDP of Japan. Just try imagining the pain and the collapse of ego! Pretty much the same thing can happen to you.
