BOE LCD fifth generation line to achieve mass production rate of up to 9

TFT-LCD BOE five generation line put into operation in December to achieve mass production today last year, just less than half the time.

On the morning of 25, the BOE is located in Yizhuang Beijing economic and Technological Development Zone, the fifth generation of TFT-LCD (thin film transistor liquid crystal display) at the factory production ceremony, officially announced the five generation production line successfully TFT-LCD.

The Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, CPPCC Chairman Jia Qinglin, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, Beijing party secretary Liu Qi, mayor Wang Qishan, Ma Songde, Vice Minister of information industry Lou Qinjian, Vice Minister of the Ministry of science and technology, the National Development Bank Vice President Yao Zhongmin, as well as the relevant national ministries and the Beijing municipal leaders of relevant departments attended the ceremony, more than 70 of the world customers and suppliers to send senior representatives to attend.

BOE Technology Group Chairman and CEO Wang Dongsheng, chairman of the board of directors pointed out that the BOE TFT-LCD yield reached 85% in April of this year, in May reached a total of 90%.

It is reported that TFT-LCD BOE five generation line project is approved by the State Council, the state and the focus of support in Beijing, the largest TFT-LCD screen manufacturing project, all of the world's most advanced automated production equipment and information management system, is Chinese China's largest and highest level of modern factory automation. The total investment of 1 billion 240 million U.S. dollars of the production line, the design capacity of 60 thousand glass substrates / month, according to the production capacity of 30 thousand pieces / month in two stages of installation, commissioning and production, will eventually be extended to the monthly 85 thousand glass substrates.

Around the strategic goal of building a world-class enterprise in the field of display, BOE in recent years has formed a unique overseas acquisitions - overseas financing - domestic construction - driven supporting development model. In 2003, the acquisition of Hyundai Display Technology Co., Ltd. TFT-LCD business, BOE was able to get the core of TFT-LCD R & D and manufacturing technology. Subsequently, but also through the construction of Beijing TFT-LCD production research and development base, holding AOC technology and other strategic deployment, BOE gradually completed the overall layout in the field of TFT-LCD.

BOE relevant person in charge, the product line to 17 inches, 19 inches display panel and a 20.1 inch, 26 inch, 32 inch TV panel based. In the joint efforts of the company and management and technical team, TFT-LCD BOE five generation line to create a number of industry record: June 2004 since the construction of complete plant construction, December 2004 to complete the first stage of the production process and equipment installation, commissioning and successfully produced the first piece of products, especially since the trial in December last year, with only less than half a year time, the BOE five generation line production is TFT-LCD.

At present, the BOE is actively promoting TFT-LCD in Yizhuang industrial base -- jingdongfang display science & Technology Park, South Korea has included LG chemical, more than a dozen domestic and foreign manufacturers in the upstream, the total investment amounted to $800 million. It is expected that by the end of 2005, the BOE TFT-LCD five generation line local matching rate of up to 60% by the end of 2006 the local matching rate of up to 85%. In order to display the BOE science and Technology Park as a global competitive industrial base, BOE will build two production lines of more than five generations in the future.

The industry generally believe that, as the only one with independent intellectual property rights TFT-LCD producers, BOE TFT-LCD five generation production line marks in the TFT-LCD industry has gradually shifted to the China, at the same time, the domestic TFT-LCD production enterprises will participate in international competition at a higher level with independent innovation on technology. In view of the future of TFT-LCD industry billions of dollars of market prospects, and electronics manufacturing industry to transfer to the mainland China trend, domestic production of LCD panels to leapfrog development Chinese electronic information industry, to promote the domestic electronic information enterprises to realize the cluster breakthrough in the core technology, has very important significance.
