BOE B7 is BOE’s first Gen 6 OLED factory built in 2017 with investment of 46.5 billion RMB (or 6.7 billion USD). BOE B19 is a Gen 8.6 a-Si/IGZO TFT LCD factory built in 2018.
Chongqing has two BOE factories. BOE B8 is a Gen 8 a-Si/IGZO TFT LCD factory built in 2015, with total investment of 32.8 billion RMB (or 4.7 billion USD). BOE B12 is a Gen 6 OLED factory built in 2021, with total investment of 46.5 billion RMB (or 6.7 billion USD).
Fuzhou accommodates two BOE factories. BOE B10 is a Gen 8.5 a-Si TFT LCD factory built in 2017, which is being expanded in 2021. BOE B15 is earmarked as a new G6 OLED factory.
BOE B3, BOE B5, and BOE B9 are located in Heifei. BOE B3 is a Gen 6 a-Si TFT LCD factory built in 2010 with total investment of 17.5 billion RMB (or 2.5 billion USD). BOE B6 is a Gen 8.5 a-Si/IGZO TFT LCD factory with a Gen 6 touch panel production line. It commenced operation in 2013 with total investment of 28.5 billion RMB (or 4.1 billion USD). BOE B6 also houses a OLED pilot line for flexible and ink-jet printing OLED research. BOE’s MLED factory for direct-view super fine pitch LED displays is also on the B6 campus. BOE B9 is BOE’s first Gen 10.5 a-Si TFT LCD factory, which is built in 2018 with total investment of 40 billion RMB (or 5.7 billion USD).
Kunming has BOE’s first OLED micro-displays factory, which includes 8-inch and 12-inch wafer production lines. It was built in 2019 and then expanded in 2021.
Mianyang hosts the BOE B11 factory, which is BOE’s second Gen 6 OLED factory. BOE B11 was built in 2019 with total investment of 46.5 billion RMB (or 6.7 billion USD). BOE B11 has then been upgraded to support LTPS and LTPO technology in order to produce more advanced flexible OLED displays.
Nanjing has BOE B18 Gen 8.5 a-Si/IGZO TFT LCD factory, which was acquired from CEC Panda. This factory is primarily used to produce small and medium-sized IT LCD panels.
BOE B6 in Ordos is a Gen 6 OLED factory with LTPS LCD production lines also. It was built in 2013 with total investment of 22 billion RMB (or 3.1 billion USD).
BOE B17 in Wuhan is a Gen 10.5 a-Si TFT LCD factory, which is BOE’s second Gen 10.5 production line with total investment of 46 billion RMB (or 6.7 billion USD). It is primarily used for making large-format 4K and 8K LCD panels.
BOE is known for constantly expanding and upgrading the production capabilities, which may include building new factories or upgrading existing ones to accommodate evolving technologies. The total number of facilities is still counting.
