Solomon Systech and Visionox announced that they jointly developed a new qHD (960x540) AMOLED driver IC, which they say is the first one developed in China. The driver passed verification using a 4.6" WVGA full-color AMOLED (probably made by Visionox). The companies are now working to develop a driver with a higher resolution.
This project was funded by China's Electronics Information Industry Development Fund under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
Last month Visionox revealed that they began to construct a 5.5-Gen AMOLED mass production line which will begin production in the 2nd half of 2014. We do not know what kinds of panels are being planned, but it may be that the first ones will be 4.6" WVGA ones.
