TCL CSOT announced it has started moving production equipment into its t8 factory in Guangzhou, China. Feng Zhang, Senior Vice President of TCL CSOT, said the move-in of the first piece of core production equipment marks the t8 project's transition to the equipment installation and commissioning phase. The fab is an 8.6-generation inkjet-printed OLED production line, with mass production scheduled for Q4 2027. Construction started on September 16, 2025, and the main factory structure was completed in less than a year (226 days). The project has a total investment of approximately RMB 29.5 billion (around $4.42 billion). When completed, the t8 fab will process around 22,500 glass substrates monthly, each measuring 2,290 x 2,620 mm, the kind used for manufacturing medium to large-sized OLED panels. Initial production will focus on displays for tablets, notebooks, and monitors, and TCL CSOT is also exploring inkjet-printed OLED technology potential for flexible and foldable panels.
