A project to develop AMOLED (Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode) flexible touchscreen display and 5G smart terminals was launched in Shucheng New Industry City in Anhui province on Nov. 23. The 13.5-billion-yuan project is expected to generate more than 20 billion yuan a year.
As the first major new display deal introduced at this location, the project will focus on the application of cutting-edge technologies such as the 6th generation AMOLED flexible display and touchscreen, as well as 5G transparent antenna, with the goal of making the city the world's largest base of touchscreen display modules.
Alongside coordinated development with local enterprises in this field, a new display industry cluster worth 100-billion-yuan is expected to be developed in Anhui.
Shucheng to build the world's largest base of touchscreen display
In the era of 5G and IoT, the development of AMOLED flexible display technology is a significant move to promote China's position in the sector toward the middle and even the high-end in global value chains.
It is estimated that, by 2022, 900 million pieces of flexible AMOLED will be produced, especially as the supporting industry of touchscreen display modules is expected to achieve rapid growth.
The 13th Five-Year Plan for Strategic Emerging Industries in Anhui Province also proposed that a world-class new display industry cluster highly competitive in the international market should be developed within 2020.
This project will be implemented in two phases covering R&D of LCD modules of display and touchscreen, 3D cover glass, touch sensor, and 5G transparent antenna, along with advances in AMOLED touchscreen display modules. The monthly production capacity will reach 5 million pieces after the work is completed.
The launch of this project is based not only on the support from Anhui's industrial policies, but also on Shucheng's geographic locational advantage and industrial environment.
