This is a screen: 0.03 millimeters thick, thinner than paper, bending and folding, without any obstacles!
Previously, this kind of display, only Samsung can do, absolute monopoly;
BOE brought Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, VIVO, Meizu, to show to the world, and announced: China's first, the world's second flexible AMOLED display, officially mass production!
This means that we have finally torn open the first crack in the South Korean monopoly screen, from today onwards, domestic cell phones can only be bought at a high price into the history of foreign screens, gone!
Where is the cow?
BOE's 6th generation of flexible displays, where is the cow?
First, it's soft!
This is a display that can be bent and folded.
Think about it, a cell phone display can be bent and folded, that is to say, it can be twisted into a bracelet like a watch on the hand, or folded into a block of tofu, into the pocket.
As shown above, BOE's products can be bent in an "S" shape. This can be used in a variety of wearable electronic devices in the future, a lot of use.
Secondly, it's pretty!
This flexible display produced by BOE has the advantages of high resolution, fast response time, high brightness, low power consumption, etc., and can provide a more colorful and clearer high image quality.
Look! It is these screens, let Samsung collapse. 0.03 mm thickness is thinner than paper, bending and folding, without any obstacles!
BOE Chairman Wang Dongsheng
Wang Dongsheng said:
BOE's mission is to take the lead in breaking through foreign technological blockades and barriers, and fundamentally reverse China's "lack of screen pain"!
In order to achieve this goal, bite the teeth into the stomach, and will never give up. Or do not do, to do to be a world leader!
At this moment, the corner of my eye is moist. I never thought that such a gentle appearance, has gray hair temples of people, but the heart is full of wolf and power.
Yes, Huawei, millet and almost all domestic, which did not bow to Samsung on the screen. Samsung does not give goods, they have to suffer.
Now China also has the world's top screen, they do not have to boo Samsung, not to mention the negotiation, let again and again!
From today onwards, please come up with our self-confidence, it is because of this burst of national self-confidence, Chinese enterprises have become stronger and stronger.
Congratulations to BOE! Congratulations to ZTE! Congratulations to China!
BOE's sixth-generation flexible AMOLED display is how powerful? In February of this year, Huawei released the latest model of MateX folding screen cell phone, caused the world not a small reaction, this is the first domestic cell phone in the true sense of the folding screen cell phone, of course, there is another reason is that this cell phone with the screen is the domestic BOE's newest AMOLED flexible screen, which marks this BOE in the flexible made a major breakthrough, began small batch production and used in Huawei's cell phone.
According to BOE's newest AMOLED flexible screen, it is the first to be used in Huawei's mobile phones.
According to the BOE disclosure of the relevant information shows that the thickness of this latest sixth-generation flexible screen is only 0.03 millimeters, can be arbitrarily bent and folded, the use of the latest evaporation process, the screen resolution can be up to 4K, the technology is quite advanced, and only Samsung has the technology and still technology blockade monopoly, the current six-generation flexible production line in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, has been formally mass-produced! Mianyang BOE flexible screen has entered the equipment debugging stage, is expected to the end of this year can be officially mass production, by then a quarter of the world's flexible screen will be generated in Sichuan.
I personally think that regardless of the BOE this technology is powerful or not, in short, this is our country, be proud of, now the Americans a variety of blockade suppression of our China and Chinese companies, before the ZTE incident, now the Huawei incident, without exception are afraid of the core technology is mastered by our Chinese, so to take a variety of shameless means, so like Huawei, BOE these big companies should be between Strengthen cooperation, mutual solidarity, *** with the enhancement of core technology, to break the foreign blockade, unlike a large domestic PC manufacturers, no core technology, all rely on the purchase of assembly and then paste a brand said to be their own products, and then the domestic price is still more expensive than foreign countries, is simply in the consumption of our people's IQ tax, I hope that Huawei, BOE, these companies can increase investment in research and development breakthroughs to achieve more core technology, and strive for one day the Chinese people with mobile phones are basically the same as the Chinese people, but the Chinese people are not the same. One day the people of the country with the phone is basically Huawei and other national brands rather than Apple, to that time I think no country can casually on our country's unwarranted suppression and technology blockade
Huawei on February 24th released a 5G folding cell phone, so that a lot of people were surprised. However, I am more pleased that this 5G folding phone, the screen used is BOE's flexible OLED screen, which is one of the important significance of this phone. So, the first thing that makes BOE's OLED screen awesome: it's already able to support a wide range of the needs of current flagship processor phones!
So, what are the advantages of the sixth generation BOE AMOLED flexible? In 2018 last December 26, BOE announced: the sixth generation of AMOLED batch production line, of course, here is mainly applicable to high-end cell phone display.
If we have seen a CCTV program, which is for BOE's sixth-generation flexible screen for testing, in 100 ℃ boiling water, the flexible screen will be placed in which the experiment, 2mm diameter of the flexible screen, can be curled, without damage, in the 4T gravity, can still be used normally! And, the clarity of this screen, and the degree of reproduction is very high!
And, in my opinion, its biggest achievement is to break Samsung's long-term monopoly in this field. So Samsung, which released its 5G folding phone 4 days ahead of schedule, seems to be aware of the BOE threat and can't wait to prove itself.
How powerful is BOE's sixth-generation flexible AMOLED display? Now the BOE is the only domestic manufacturers capable of producing flexible screens, and the main production or AMOLED screen, which breaks the monopoly of Samsung in the OLED screen screen, the importance of its significance is self-evident. So we can take a look at BOE in the end where is great?
For a long time, the smartphone screen technology has been mastered in the foreign enterprise's cell phone, and Samsung is a cell phone screen in the dominant level of existence, when everyone is still hesitant to invest in the LCD screen, but Samsung began to put great effort in the OLED screen, so that's why Samsung is able to occupy the leading position in the field of cell phone screen for a long time. And BOE after years of development, its technology has been a breakthrough, and in the OLED screen technology has been no weaker than Samsung.
In the high-tech industry, we are relatively late in the development of time, so the main core technology is still mastered in a small number of enterprises in the phone, such as cell phone processors and screens are required to import, so there is no core technology we have to spend a huge amount of money each year on the chip and screen, and the rise of the BOE makes so that the screen imports of the era is gone.
Now BOE's research and development of very thin and can be folded screen, for the future development of cell phones, is of great significance, technology and cell phone industry is the need for innovation, only a lot of innovation in order to make the enterprise has been maintained in the leading point, there is also a significance of one side, is that our domestic cell phones no longer need to look at the face of samsung, we also finally have their own! High-end screen, breaking Samsung's monopoly in one fell swoop.
At present, BOE's flexible screen is not a very powerful one globally, but it is still an advanced flexible screen product in China.
Compared to Samsung, lg and other Korean manufacturers, BOE in the flexible screen there is still a gap, Korean manufacturers of flexible screens can cover the high-end and low-end market, in short, that is, high-end and low-end flexible screen he can manufacture, compared to the BOE they are more able to manufacture a higher yield of large-area flexible screen panels, such as curved TVs and curved computer monitors, and then service life is also longer. BOE in the flexible screen above has gone a great start, the domestic cell phone has been using BOE's flexible screen, but not high-end cell phones, but also considered the first step, hope that in the future in the next generation of screen on the domestic screen can surpass the Korean manufacturers.
Chinese semiconductor companies over the years has been plowing the industry in various segments, in the TFT-LCD technology to achieve global leadership, in one fell swoop into the flexible AMOLED this past Japan and South Korea semiconductor giants in the field of advantage. In terms of the historical trend of TFT-LCD, Chinese companies are bound to become the leader of the global flexible display industry trend in promoting the development of the global AMOLED display industry.
Flexible display to achieve mass production, which will be the gospel of Chinese enterprises
Flexible AMOLED display is being favored by global technology giants. The major innovation of display materials and technology has overturned the traditional display mode, and also spawned a brand-new application market with highly anticipated future prospects.AMOLED display is thinner and lighter, and no longer needs to add additional touch layer to reduce the thickness of the whole screen module as the touch layer has been made into the display layer. This is an important advantage for cell phone manufacturers to reduce the thickness in a narrow space like a cell phone.
AMOLED screens are also more power efficient. Since each pixel can be switched on and off independently, this results in cleaner blacks as well as higher contrast. Turning off unneeded pixels while displaying a screen also reduces energy consumption. The increased range is also very attractive for cell phones as well as wearable devices, and will largely allow for further improvements in the future, allowing for the effective integration of smartphones and wearable devices. Therefore, AMOLED is becoming a globally recognized "next-generation screen technology". Xu Zheng, a professor at Beijing Jiaotong University, even believes that "in the field of medium and high-end cell phones, AMOLED display will fully replace the LCD display." This prediction is not empty talk, from the current domestic and foreign cell phone market, Apple, Samsung, Huawei, and vivo and even a plus these cell phone manufacturers have used AMOLED screen in their own top-end product line, AMOLED has almost become the standard for high-end cell phone manufacturers.
However, at present, from a global perspective, Japanese companies are confined to the entire electronics, home appliances and semiconductor industry environment, in the field of OLED research and development is relatively slow. South Korea and Chinese companies in the cell phone, electronics, home appliance industry has a more complete industrial chain, the market demand is also very abundant, which have become an important force to promote the development of the AMOLED industry, but also thanks to this OLED strategic layout of the rapid advancement of the October 26th, China's first, the world's second generation of 6-generation flexible AMOLED production line --- BOE Chengdu 6-generation flexible AMOLED production line, the first of the world's second generation of 6-generation flexible AMOLED production line. On October 26, China's first and the world's second G6 flexible AMOLED production line in Chengdu was mass-produced ahead of schedule, making BOE the first Chinese manufacturer capable of mass-producing G6 AMOLED flexible panels, and laying claim to its leading position in the world.
Driven by semiconductor display manufacturers represented by BOE, the flexible AMOLED market will step into a rapid growth channel in the next few years.IHS Markit predicts that AMOLED cell phone screen shipments will increase to 513 million pieces in 2017.Between 2016 and 2020, global flexible AMOLED production capacity will expand from 1.5 million square meters to 20.1 million square meters, becoming an unprecedented stage of AMOLED display growth. This will be a great boon for domestic cell phone manufacturers. At present, the biggest concern of cell phone manufacturers for AMOLED screen lies in the lack of production capacity. Last year Xiaomi Note2 was a big hit in the market, but because of the AMOLED screen produced by South Korean manufacturers, production capacity is seriously insufficient, market sales have been affected to some extent. OPPO R9 series products are also due to the lack of supply of AMOLED screen, the screen is temporarily replaced by an LCD screen, encountered a number of market turmoil. But with the growing production capacity of domestic AMOLED display, domestic cell phone manufacturers will no longer be bound by the production capacity of foreign enterprises in the future.
The anxiety behind AMOLED technology, and China's semiconductor technology breakthrough
Under the wave of flexible AMOLED becoming a trend day by day, the global panel makers seize the opportunity, hoping to grasp the initiative in this round of technology replacement. With this, the world more than ten AMOLED production line construction jumped, of which China accounted for more than half. However, this is not without anxiety behind. Liang Xinqing, executive vice president and secretary-general of the Liquid Crystal Branch of the China Optical and Optoelectronic Industry Association, has bluntly raised his concerns in a media interview: "The difficulty of mass production of flexible AMOLED displays is very high, and despite the planning of so many AMOLED production lines, in 2019, many manufacturers are simply not able to produce AMOLED in accordance with the expected production capacity. display."
The core reason for this type of concern is that the flexible AMOLED process is extremely complex and technically difficult, and even for manufacturers that have successfully produced flexible AMOLEDs is very challenging, which is the main reason why it is difficult for many manufacturers to realize the mass production of flexible AMOLED panels. According to BOE AMOLED R & D staff, from a technical point of view, mass production of flexible AMOLED is the first to solve the problem of matching the film layer, after repeated experiments and software simulation and calculation in order to design the optimal value of the thickness of each film layer, to find the optimal solution for matching between the film layers, so as to avoid the possibility of cracking the product in the repeated folding. As an important raw material used in the vapor deposition process, the mask plate is one of the determining factors for the accuracy and quality of the panel. When vaporizing, the three primary colors of the evaporation area should never overlap, and manufacturers must make extremely careful adjustments to the settings of the corresponding equipment. After the completion of the flexible TFT preparation, film vaporization, film packaging, but also in the lamination process to achieve a more suitable for flexible products lamination method, after a heavy technical test, in order to ultimately mass production of flexible AMOLED display. Once the technology is not handled properly, it is easy to lead to AMOLED screen color reproduction distortion phenomenon, or in the use of one or two years after the local color unevenly appear serious "burn screen" phenomenon. This is also the AMOLED technology development of the early stage of the Japanese and Korean manufacturers face problems. These problems have also been encountered by other domestic AMOLED manufacturers in the past few years.
Ouyang Zhongchan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said, "OLED in small and medium-sized applications alternative advantage is obvious, but our country should break through the key technology bottleneck of OLED." However, as China's first to realize the 6th generation flexible AMOLED production line mass production of BOE is standing out from the AMOLED field. This is inseparable from BOE has been focusing on independent technological innovation and research and development. According to the relevant person in charge of BOE, BOE as early as 2001 in the field of new display forward-looking layout, OLED technology research. From the establishment of AMOLED laboratory, to the establishment of flexible R & D center, to develop the first flexible AMOLED display products, to today's 6th generation flexible AMOLED production line in Chengdu to achieve mass production, BOE through countless experiments before determining the final program of mass production, this process breaks through all kinds of difficulties.
And Japan and South Korea semiconductor giants arm wrestling, leading the global development of flexible AMOLED
In the past, China's smartphone industry has been Japan and South Korea semiconductor giants "choke". Some time ago, Tencent Technology even reported that the domestic popular cell phone manufacturers because of the offense of Japan and South Korea semiconductor giants, the CEO had to fly to the headquarters of the other side of the "Bauhinia", in order to open the supply of parts and components to ensure the normal sale of cell phones. Over the years, mainland China's display industry has grown rapidly and is expected to become the world's largest semiconductor display production base around 2019.
With China's BOE 6th generation flexible AMOLED production line mass production, this year will become the first year of mainland China's cell phone high-end flexible display towards self-sufficiency, and how the future industrial chain layout will also determine whether our country can lead the global AMOLED industry development. Prof. Xu Zheng believes that there is a TFT-LCD industry foundation in order to develop OLED technology faster. BOE is the leader of China's display industry, the industrial layout earlier, strong R & D strength, BOE full layout AMOLED, will accelerate China's AMOLED field to maintain a leading position.
In the field of flexible AMOLED, BOE has laid out the 6th generation flexible AMOLED production line in Chengdu and the 6th generation flexible AMOLED production line in Mianyang, and launched the 5.5-inch WQHD flexible OLED display that can realize "S" shape bending, and 7.56-inch WQHD flexible OLED display that can combine the cell phone and tablet PC into one. The company has also launched 5.5-inch WQHD flexible OLED display that can realize "S" shape bending, 7.56-inch QHD flexible AMOLED display that combines mobile phone and tablet PC, 5.5-inch FHD full-screen OLED display that is close to "zero-bezel" and 4.35-inch flexible wristbands and other innovative flexible display products.
With these specific product lines put into use, China, whether it is the cell phone industry or flat panel industry, can be based on flexible AMOLED display for more innovation. With the TFT-LCD field once "catching up" role is different, in AMOLED competition in China's enterprises have walked in the forefront of the world. With more "Made in China" flexible AMOLED display to the world, China will really lead the global flexible AMOLED industry development.
In the past, China's cell phone and electronics manufacturers were often ridiculed as "using US, Japan, and South Korea parts and components to put together building blocks", but BOE, a company that innovates and seeks change in the semiconductor field, is helping China's cell phone and electronics manufacturers to innovate at the root, and enabling Chinese manufacturers to be self-sustaining and realize independence.
The question is still very qualitative, and is interpreted from the following aspects
Less than a month money (October 26th), BOE (BOE) announced that the 6th generation of flexible AMOLED production line located in Chengdu has realized mass production ahead of schedule, and held a ceremony of mass production of the 6th generation of flexible AMOLED production line in Chengdu and the delivery of the customer, delivery objects include Huawei, Xiaomi , OPPO, Vivo, ZTE and more than ten customers delivered AMOLED flexible display. This news caused a sensation in the industry, but also all cell phone manufacturers to Samsung for AMOLED screen monopoly a special expectation. Of course, this also includes Apple cell phone, although Apple released an epoch-making product iphone X, but because of the Samsung supply of the screen is not up to standard, there is no way. iphone X by the initial release of the price firm to the current price drop, these are to blame on the Samsung that piece of screen. Because samsung always leave the best screen to their own cell phone use, production of slightly inferior before supplying very strong cell phone manufacturers. From this point of view, cell phone manufacturers like Huawei OV millet is not much volume. Although the vivo X20 Xuancheng is supplied by Samsung, but that is just a strategy of Samsung.
In the flexible cell phone screen can be produced in the manufacturers only Samsung and LG, and LG main TV big screen, for cell phone screen do that is also a pitiful goods. For example, millet note2, all kinds of problems, all kinds of pits, directly to millet note series. So there is only one left Samsung monopolized the screen of this cutting-edge technology. The mass production of BOE, but also let Samsung's screen price appeared to loosen, which is good for cell phone manufacturers, for consumers is even better. Although the production is very small, through the efforts of the opponent is still very afraid. From Samsung's several actions to see or very weighty, although the BOE in technology with Samsung gap is very large, but can not hold all the cell phone manufacturers for the BOE's expectations ah, support are in the form of capital to support. This is also one of the reasons why Samsung is worried, but in the past few years, Samsung is enjoying the monopoly of flexible screen dividend ah.
BOE is backed by China's large market, there is a global view of such a position, capital is not a problem, technology is not a problem, as long as the attack, do not need the government to step in, the market will be BOE this God for up. Of course, we also look forward to BOE's accession, so that AMOLED screen more mature, no longer Samsung screen so many problems. Look at the screen of the iphone X, the shipment is so small on the occurrence of so many screen problems. Make Apple suffered such a big blow, which also Apple's helpless, helpless in Samsung's monopoly, more helpless in the screen technology is not mature.
Looking at the BOE show pictures, if all these curvature can soon mass production, can let the cell phone industry have a great imagination, such as the just released ZTE splicing screen, will not be so let consumers do not accept. The interval between the two screens is so big, if you use BOE's screen, it's directly a bent and folded screen. That would have stunned the entire cell phone industry, just like when the millet mix concept machine came out, the enthusiasm of the entire cell phone industry was raised, this is not 2017 all kinds of comprehensive screen came out, became a big trend, and even Samsung's double-curved screen have given up.
BOE technology is still a gap with Samsung, Samsung so bullish can not solve the screen of the various burning screen, green line and so on is difficult for consumers to accept the problem. Of course, if BOE also ship large quantities, in the mass of products to improve the product is not impossible, in short, let us have more to look forward to.
Now, more and more new phones, giving us a flexible OLED screen boom. In the short term, despite the addition of several new suppliers in China, the global supply of flexible OLED screens still exceeds the demand. And just in October 2017, BOE, a leading company in China's display panel industry, announced the mass production of a Gen 6 flexible OLED panel production line in Chengdu.
This is China's first and the world's second mass-produced 6-generation flexible OLED panel line, breaking the monopoly pattern of South Korean companies in the flexible OLED panel market. South Korea's Samsung Electronics in the flexible OLED, with up to 10 years of experience in the production process. The rising Chinese companies, to catch up, need to continue to explore and innovation.
BOE started researching OLED as early as 2002, and in this factory equivalent to 7 water cubes, Chengdu's 6-generation OLED line applies advanced evaporation process, which can produce 70 million flexible displays per year. It uses flexible packaging technology to realize display screen bending and folding. These flexible screens can not only twist in the water, but also resist the slamming of ice.
China has also moved from a "lack of core and screen" to a "core screen and" era. It won't be long before a cell phone that can be rolled up will be released, are you looking forward to it?
This is a major breakthrough in China's panel manufacturing, which is of great significance.
In the past few decades, China has been lagging behind Japan and South Korea in panel manufacturing. In the mid-to-high-end panel market, the mainland has been highly dependent on imports.
Years ago, China's imports, ranked first chip semiconductor, the second is the display panel, it can be said that China was once in the "lack of core less screen" era.
Now the panel powerhouse is South Korea, Samsung and LG monopolized most of the high-end panel market. Apple's highest-priced iPhone X in history must look for Samsung to supply OLED panels. And in the OLED TV market, one of the best-selling brands is South Korea's LG.
In fact, in the 1970s, the dominant player in the panel industry was Japan.
In 1988, Japanese manufacturer Sharp released the world's first LCD monitor. At that time, LCD panels, like OLEDs today, were the result of highly sophisticated technology, and were so profitable that they were in short supply.
Japanese manufacturers, led by Sharp, once monopolized the global LCD panel market, and in the early 1990s, more than 90% of the world's LCD panels were made by Japanese manufacturers.
And South Korean panel makers, led by Samsung and LG, before and after the 1990s, invested heavily in research and development of LCD panels, and finally caught up with Japanese manufacturers in a decade.
After the 21st century, South Korean manufacturers from the hands of Japan grabbed the panel industry boss seat, has been sitting today. The panel industry became one of South Korea's mainstays, and was incredibly profitable.
Now many people in the country, the mouth said patriotic, but very concerned about their own cell phone with whether the imported screen. If you use the domestic Pegasus screen, BOE screen, you feel inferior to Samsung, LG screen.
In fact, the domestic panel makers, led by BOE, have been on the road of panel research and development very quickly.
The characteristics of the OLED screen make it bendable, and in the future era of smart wear, flexible OLED is bound to have a huge market demand.
Because of the difficulty of research and development, flexible OLED was previously monopolized by South Korean manufacturers, and now China's BOE has also done it, breaking the monopoly of South Korea.
The flexible OLEDs produced by BOE's six-generation line are not only thin, light, colorful, and consume less energy, but are also flexible and bendable.
In the field of flexible OLED, the future will be the situation of China and South Korea to compete.
Once China lacked core and screen, now BOE as the leader of the Chinese manufacturers, is trying to send a challenge to South Korea.
The power of BOE's flexible screens lies not only in the quality of the product itself, but also in the significance of breaking the monopoly of the industry.
On May 11, 17, with the lighting of the first piece of amoled screen, marking China's first amoled production line formally put into production, the product line adopts the latest evaporation process, and at the same time using low-temperature polycrystalline silicon instead of the traditional amorphous silicon glass panels, so that electron mobility has increased by 100 times, with a more excellent signal drive and system integration capabilities, at the same time, the production line is the highest screen resolution of 4km, the highest screen resolution of 4km, the highest screen resolution of 4km. The highest production line is the screen resolution of 4k, the use of new packaging technology, so that the screen is not only soft, but also can be bent and folded.
As the world's second mass production of sixth-generation flexible OLED panel line, breaking the pattern of Samsung's monopoly on flexible OLED for many years, before the mass production of OLED panels by the new Oriental, Samsung's share once reached 95%, before Samsung has been controlling the OLED screen, so that the cell phone screen industry has been in the development of malignant, the BOE's mass production of flexible screens not only for more manufacturers to provide more high-quality screens, but also will also be the first time to provide a flexible screen. The mass production of BOE's flexible screens not only provides more manufacturers with more high-quality screens, but also promotes the benign development of the industry, which is no longer a dominant pattern.
The mass production of BOE's sixth-generation amoled screens will significantly improve the competitiveness of BOE and China's cell phone industry in the international market, meet the growing demand for OLED screens, and be of great significance to the accelerated development of China's OLED industry and the global flexible display industry.
