TCL CSOT targets inkjet OLED production for late 2027
TCL CSOT is preparing a factory to make inkjet-printed OLED panels and says it has begun moving equipment into the facility.
The company targets production in the fourth quarter of 2027, though an earlier third-party estimate put the start in 2028.
Inkjet printing puts OLED materials directly onto a panel substrate, rather than sending them through a mask.
This method is expected to waste less material and could lower the cost of making OLED panels.
That could eventually mean cheaper OLED gaming monitors, as prices for current OLED monitors have already fallen.
The factory's production start is the next milestone, but the sources do not say when monitors made there will go on sale.
TCL CSOT says its new inkjet-printed OLED factory has entered the equipment move-in phase.
The company is targeting production in the fourth quarter of 2027.
Inkjet printing puts OLED materials directly onto a substrate, which can reduce material waste.
The process could make OLED panels less costly to produce.
A previous third-party forecast cited by PC Gamer put the start of production in 2028.
