Dr. Gao Wenbao, President of BOE, highlighted BOE’s transformation from a display supplier to an IoT innovator. In the future, BOE will focus on areas such as intelligent connected vehicles and industrial IoT, accelerating the integration of displays, sensors, artificial intelligence, and interconnectivity. As a technology company, BOE also pays significant attention to our social responsibilities, promoting the mutual development of the enterprise and society.
At the IPC exhibition, BOE showcased a series of cutting-edge innovations. For example, the 110-inch UB Cell display empowered by ADS Pro advanced display technology has ultra-wide viewing angle, ultra-low reflection, high contrast, high refresh rate, wide color gamut, and high brightness. With superb black state and high contrast under ambient light, it rivals OLED displays in terms of image quality. The world’s first 17-inch curved notebook OLED display attracted a lot of attention from the audience. The industry’s first bi-directional-foldable OLED display enabled three form factors: full screen, X-fold, and Y-fold. BOE also showcased the industry-leading 2000-nit high brightness OLED display, enabled by BOE’s LTPO and Tandem technologies. It can reduce energy consumption by over 20% and increase device lifespan by 3-4 times. BOE MLED demonstrated the world’s leading LTPS P0.5 COG (Chip on Glass) active-matrix direct-view LED display. Other notable demos include a 32-inch light-field 3D display, a 31.5-inch UHD 480Hz high-end gaming display, the world’s first 27-inch low-carbon-footprint display, the industry’s first ADS Pro display with switchable 300% color gamut, and the world’s first 1.3-inch 4K*4K micro-OLED display.
While pushing the boundaries for technological advantages, BOE actively promotes the concept of green manufacturing and implements green manufacturing projects to drive sustainable transformation. During this IPC conference, BOE released the report “Towards Carbon Neutrality: BOE Display’s Low-Carbon Plan.” In the report, BOE pledged to achieve operational carbon neutrality in the display business by 2050. As of 2022, BOE has already had 15 factories recognized as “National Green Factories.”
BOE’s partners like Honor, Hongqi, NIO, Aston Martin, Chery, and Xiaopeng, showcased their innovative technologies as well. For example, Skyworth launched the Q53 Wallpaper TV, featuring BOE’s pioneering HSR frequency-doubling technology. Honor Magic5 series fully adopts BOE’s 6.81-inch flexible OLED screen and debuts with LTPO and screen spotlighting technology, providing a low-power solution for extended battery life, enhanced performance, and ultimate eye protection. Corning exhibited innovative products such as glass-based smart antennas and glass-based diffusion plates.
NIO ES6 features BOE’s 12.8-inch flexible OLED display with a million-to-one contrast ratio and 100% wide color gamut.
Aion Hyper GT showcased the 14.6-inch oxide wide-screen display with in-cell touch provided by BOE.
Xiaopeng G6 is equipped with a 10.2-inch instrument cluster screen, a 14.96-inch central control screen. Nezha GT sports car features BOE’s 17.6-inch central control screen.
Since 2021, BOE has invested over $10 billion USD in research and development. BOE continues to drive high-quality technological innovation with a huge portfolio of patents. To date, BOE has accumulated over 80,000 patents, of which 28,000 are related to flexible OLED displays.
BOE has invited top industry experts as strategic technology advisors. By leveraging both internal and external research and development capabilities, BOE aims to establish itself as a powerhouse in semiconductor displays, IoT innovation, and sensor components.
