According to a report from Korea, Avaco has received a letter of intent (LOI) from BOE, for the supply of vacuum deposition transfer equipment for BOE's next phase of its 8.6-Gen AMOLED line (B16).
Avaco equipment is used to transfer and align substrates to and from the actual OLED deposition process. It is considered a vital piece of the process. Avaco supplied two 8.6-Gen machines for the first phase of BOE's 8.6-Gen fab, which has been installed and now being tested. So it was quite likely that Avaco will win the follow-up orders for the second phase.
Avaco has teamed up with Sunic System, that produces OLED deposition systems. Sunic is BOE's supplier for the first phase, and has already received a similar LOI from BOE for the 2nd phase.
BOE's original plan was to start mass production in the first phase in Q4 2026, but the latest information is that BOE is accelerating its plans, and is currently about 4 months ahead of schedule, so will be able to begin production in Q3 2026. BOE recently received its first laptop AMOLED supply orders from this line.
