BOE, a leading Chinese maker of LCD and OLED displays, is looking to make glass core substrates for next-generation domestic processors, Nikkei reports. The company plans to launch a pilot production line for glass core substrates in the second half of 2025, which will put it on the map in the semiconductor industry -- and also in line with giants such as Intel, Samsung, and TSMC.
"BOE is shifting its resources from display to focus more on semiconductor-related technologies," a key display and chip equipment supplier executive told Nikkei.
