Digitimes Research: China handset vendors to rely on local AMOLED panel production from 2016

On December 17, 2013, China-based touch panel maker Truly Optoelectronics announced that it had entered a joint venture with the Huizhou City Government to invest in a 4.5G AMOLED line that will go into production in the second half of 2015 and have a production capacity of about 15,000 substrates a month. This follows similar agreements made between China-based Tianma and BOE with Visionox and EDO to establish a fifth AMOLED line as well as developments by Century and China Star Optoelectronics Technology (CSOT) to further invest in AMOLED production. As such developments unfold, from 2016 onwards China's handset vendors are likely to use AMOLED panels from local makers, according to Digitimes Research.
