Corning Incorporated has hosted a launch ceremony for its new Gen 10.5 liquid crystal display (LCD) glass substrate manufacturing facility co-located with the BOE Technology Group (BOE) plant in the Hefei Xinzhan Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone in the Anhui Province, China.
This new facility will enable Corning to become the first manufacturer of TFT- grade Gen 10.5 substrates in the world. The largest LCD commercially available glass substrates are 2940 mm by 3370 mm, providing the most economical cuts for 65-inch and 75-inch TVs. The Gen 10.5 substrates manufactured at the Hefei facility use Corning EAGLE XG Slim glass.
Corning began shipping BOE production samples from the plant in late 2017. The market for large-size TVs, defined as TVs 60" and larger, is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of more than 20 percent for the next several years. The Hefei facility is Corning's third LCD glass plant on the Chinese mainland. The company also operates Gen 8.5 LCD glass plants in Beijing and Chongqing.
