Equipment Arrives for World’s First G8.6 Printed OLED Production Line

On October 31, a ceremony marking equipment move-in for the first phase of TCL China Star Optoelectronics Technology’s (TCL CSOT) 8.6-generation printed OLED production line, known as the t8 project, was held in Guangzhou. The milestone marked the transition of the world’s first G8.6 printed OLED production line from plant construction to equipment installation and commissioning, accelerating progress toward high-quality production.

Located in Huangpu District, Guangzhou, the t8 project involves a total investment of approximately 29.5 billion yuan and is jointly funded by TCL CSOT, the Guangzhou municipal government and Guangzhou Development District. It is a key industrial project at the provincial, municipal and district levels, as well as a benchmark project in Huangpu under Guangdong’s High-quality Development Project for Counties, Towns and Villages.

A strategic project in TCL CSOT’s development of next-generation display technologies, t8 will help drive industrial upgrading through printed OLED technology. The line is designed to process approximately 22,500 glass substrates per month, mainly producing panels for tablets, laptops and monitors, with the potential to expand into flexible and foldable displays.
