BOE Begins Gen 8.6 OLED Production This Month, Beating Rival Samsung Display to Market

BOE Headquarter

China's BOE Technology Group has begun loading glass substrates into its Generation 8.6 OLED production line at the Chengdu B16 factory this month — more than one month ahead of its previously stated second-half 2026 target — with Taiwanese laptop makers ASUS and Acer confirmed as the first customers for 14-inch OLED notebook panels, industry sources said on Tuesday. The move puts BOE in direct competition with Samsung Display, which is ramping its own Gen 8.6 line this month for Apple's upcoming MacBook Pro — making May 2026 the pivotal moment when next-generation OLED laptop panels begin reaching consumers.
