The solution includes unique technologies to address the requirements of flexible OLED panel inspection.

Visionox's $4.5 billion 6-Gen fab will have a monthly capacity of 30,000 substrates, and will be mainly used to produce flexible AMOLEDs. Production will begin in mid-2018, and a few days ago Visionox announced that it has completed the construction of the building itself, and it will start moving in and installing the production equipment in the beginning of 2018.
