TCL CSOT opens inkjet OLED factory for equipment move-in, targets Q4 2027
The panel maker says its inkjet-printed OLED plant has entered the equipment move-in phase, with output planned for about the fourth quarter of 2027.
TCL CSOT said its new inkjet-printed OLED factory has entered the equipment move-in phase, with production targeted for about the fourth quarter of 2027, TechPowerUp reported.
Inkjet printing deposits OLED materials directly onto the substrate. The approach avoids the material waste associated with masked deposition, a method that builds up layers through shadow masks.
The schedule puts the plant ahead of earlier third-party estimates: in October 2025, outside sources had predicted production at the inkjet OLED facility would start in 2028.
TCL CSOT, a TCL subsidiary, manufactures OLED and other display panels. The company did not give a specific date for the start of volume output in the update reported by TechPowerUp.
