TCL CSOT, a display manufacturing subsidiary of TCL, is reportedly advancing rapidly in the field of OLED technology by investing heavily in inkjet-printed OLED panels. By adopting inkjet printing technology rather than traditional manufacturing methods, the company is aiming to simplify the OLED production process, thereby reducing costs and allowing for increased flexibility in screen sizes and designs. However, it has been seeing other important benefits.
The traditional method for creating OLED screens relies on vacuum thermal evaporation (VTE), which involves vaporizing organic materials and depositing them onto a substrate in a carefully controlled environment. While effective, this method is expensive, labor-intensive, and results in high material wastage, contributing to the overall cost of OLED displays.
