CSOT Panel Factory

In recent years, with active vertical integration, particularly the integration of the leading display producer China Star Optoelectronics Technology (CSOT), and the establishment of global plants in Poland, Mexico and Vietnam, TCL has been able to gain technological advantages and expand global presence. CSOT currently owns two Gen 8.5 and one Gen 6 LCD production lines, which can produce panels as large as 55", while the world’s largest Gen 11 line, which is in the plan, will be used to economically cut even larger-size displays, allowing TCL to take the lead in the large-sized TV market. The G11 Project will use oxide semiconductor, Cu process, POA, Super GOA technology, and OLED Printing technology to produce 43", 65", 70" (21:9), 75" LCD displays, ultra-large public displays as well as OLED displays. By synergizing upstream and downstream business units, TCL benefits from a vertically integrated supply chain that not only gives the company cost advantages over competitors, but also enhances the risk management capability to survive against industry’s periodical recessions.
