TCL CSOT has begun installing production equipment at its t8 factory in Guangzhou, China, an 8.6-generation inkjet-printed OLED manufacturing facility. The company completed the main factory structure in 226 days after construction started in September 2025. Mass production is targeted for the fourth quarter of 2027, with the project representing an investment of approximately 29.5 billion yuan, or around 4.42 billion dollars.
The facility will process approximately 22,500 glass substrates each month, with each substrate measuring 2,290 by 2,620 millimeters. These dimensions are used for medium to large-sized OLED panels. Initial production will concentrate on displays for tablets, notebooks, and monitors.
TCL CSOT is also investigating the potential of inkjet-printed OLED technology for flexible and foldable panel applications. The transition to the equipment installation and commissioning phase marks a significant milestone for the t8 project.
