Cheaper OLEDs may be here even quicker than we thought as TCL CSOT says its new inkjet printing facility could be up and running as soon as this time next year
Previous rumours had it penned for 2028.
TCL's subsidiary, CSOT, is set to begin construction of its new inkjet-printed OLED factory, potentially leading to cheaper OLED displays in the near future, according to the company. The move-in phase for the production facility has already commenced, with production anticipated to commence around the same time next year. Inkjet printing is touted to be more cost-effective for manufacturing OLED panels, as it reduces waste during the process.
Traditionally manufactured OLEDs have seen a significant price decrease over the past year, with a 240 Hz OLED monitor now available for $269 at Walmart. Inkjet printing should further decrease costs, as it doesn't involve any material loss, resulting in more efficient and affordable production. TCL's claim of even earlier production suggests a promising future for affordable OLED displays, particularly relevant in the current high-priced PC hardware market.
