BOE is interested in Japan JDI! China OLED industry usher in a turning point

Recently, Wang Dongsheng, chairman of China's LCD panel maker BOE, said in an interview that Japan intends to provide assistance to Japan Display Inc (JDI) for its operational reconstruction. The estimated capital requirements for mass production of OLED panels for smartphones are as high as 200 billion yen , While JDI is looking for companies that are interested in providing funding and funding, of which BOE is considered as one of the most likely donors.

BOE intends to acquire Japanese JDI

It is understood that JDI plans to collaborate with a number of enterprises to finalize the operation reconstruction plan by the end of March 2018. BOE, a state-owned enterprise in China with the backing of a strong government, has become the world's leading LCD panel manufacturer and Hit 1.6 trillion yen is building a new OLED factory in Chengdu, China.

JDI is one of the major suppliers of iPhone handsets for the iPhone. JDI mainly focuses on organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panels for small and medium size mobile phone panels, even though low-temperature polysilicon panels are suitable for OLED panel backplane, but BOE does not require JDI huge low-temperature polysilicon panel production capacity, only JDI technology.

If BOE shares JDI, just like the Chinese panel makers make themselves into Japan NEC, OLED panel technology, but BOE only JDI's low-temperature polysilicon panel technology, whether it is necessary to spend a lot of money to eat a large panel production capacity of JDI, is still debatable. BOE lack of OLED technology, if JDI technology through investment, it will become the second after the South Korean factory can supply OLED screen to Apple's panel factory, BOE will become a full range of technology with a panel factory.
