Japan Display may sell its Mobara display fab to China's HKC

Back in July, we reported that Japan Display, who's been in financial problems for many years, has decided to halt its OLED production at its Mobara Fab, its only active OLED production line. JDI was looking for a buyer to take over the fab, and according to reports, it may have found its buyer - China based HKC.  

Originally, JDI planned to finally end production at Mobara by March 2026, but now it may shut down the fab earlier than expected.

 

This is an interesting move by HKC, who's is rapidly moving forward with its plans to become an AMOLED display producer. In this article, we'll explore HKC's dual OLED strategy, and speculate at how the future might look for the company. We'll also discuss Japan Display's OLED history and future, and what this means for Apple and LG Display.
