Earlier this month, Xiaomi launched the Mi Mix Alpha which is an extraordinary looking smartphone. Following its launch, it was revealed that the display of the device was not developed and manufactured by any of the bigwigs in the industry i.e BOE, Samsung or LG. Instead, it is manufactured by Visionox that also supplied display for Xiaomi’s two-way folding smartphone.
According to a latest piece of information, Visionox has set up an all new assembly line in Guangzhou, China which will be used to manufacture flexible AMOLED displays. Notably, to bring the production line together, a total of 11.2 billion yuan has been invested which has been raised via public capital, state-owned enterprises of Guangzhou and Visionox.

Reports claim that this production line is one of its kinds and it will further decrease the dependence of Chinese manufacturer’s on foreign suppliers like Samsung and LG. The assembly line is capable of producing flexible AMOLED displays that range from 6 inch, all the way upto 18 inch.
We have already seen a 7.92 inch flexible display with the Mi Mix Alpha, but we are yet to experience devices with this type of display as big as 18 inch. Overall, the Visionox assembly line seems to be of great importance. As displays manufactured here will open up a whole new world of possibilities in the domain of consumer electronics.
As the largest size display that Visionox can manufacture is 18 inch, we could see other foldable devices like laptops and large screen tablets get the flexible treatment.
