BOE Display, founded in 1993 in Beijing China, is one of the world's leading display maker, producing both LCDs and OLEDs. BOE also produces LCD backlighting units and solar panels.
BOE has been producing small glass-based OLEDs for some time, but the company's focus is currently in flexible and foldable OLEDs. In October 2017 BOE started to produce flexible OLED displays at its first flexible OLED line, the Chengdu B7 6-Gen fab. The annual capacity of the B7 line, when complete and at 100% yields, will be 45,000 monthly 6-Gen substrates, or about 90 million smartphone OLEDs.
In addition to the B7 fab in Chengdu, in October 2016 BOE announced another 6-Gen OLED fab, in Mianyang, with a similar capacity. In March 2018, BOE announced plans for a third 6-Gen OLED fab, this one in Chongqing. In December 2018, BOE announced plans for its fourth 6-Gen AMOLED line in Fuzhou. Towards the end of 2023, BOE announced plans for a 8.6-Gen flexible LTPO AMOLED line in Chengdu. BOE is also building an OLED Microdisplay fab in collaboration with OLiGHTEK.

Reports suggest BOE struggles to get approval for its Nanjing WOLED production line project
In May 2026 we reported that BOE is looking to upgrade its pilot WOLED (WRGB) production capabilities. According to the company's plan back then, it would convert some of its B18 8.5-Gen LCD fab in Nanjing to WOLED production.

According to new industry reports, BOE did not manage to get an approval from the Chinese authorities, as these are worried the large-scale investment required to build large-area WOLED production lines do not have merit. Other reports suggest that there is an internal conflict within BOE over this project.
BOE shipped over 80 million flexible OLED displays in the first half of 2026, sees profit rise over 55% from last year
BOE released its preliminary financial results for the first half of 2026, saying that its net profit will rise to $734 to $800 million USD, an increase of 54% to 69% from the first half of 2025.
The company says that its strong financial performance was mostly enabled by an improved demand for LCD displays that enabled an increase in prices, in addition to strong flexible OLED shipments. BOE shipped over 80 million flexible OLEDs in the first half of 2026.
