Chinese display maker BOE Technology has reportedly manufactured the world’s first 500Hz display. The company showcased the prototype recently when it announced some breakthroughs achieved in the display field. 
BOE Innovation Exchange’s official Weibo account made a post a few days back detailing the important breakthrough the company made in the field of oxide semiconductor display technology. The breakthrough saw the display maker overcome industry problems such as the ease of Copper (Cu) getting diffused, oxidized, and drilled.
BOE took the lead in the industry to realize the mass production of copper interconnect stack structure, and the integration of high refresh rate, high resolution, low power oxide display technology, breaking Samsung’s monopoly. The company also continues to launch low power consumption, ultra-narrow bezel OLED panels in the industry, including the 500Hz+ gaming display, variable frequency refresh rate display, and a series of high-end technologies and products.
The new prototype is a 27-inch oxide FHD 500 Hz+ display said to be the world’s highest refresh rate display. According to reports, this monitor uses a high mobility Oxide backplane, supports 8Lane eDP output, true 8bit output, and has a 1ms response.
The tech giant also disclosed that it has creatively developed copper diffusion barrier technology, and proposed a unique theory of nitrogen and oxygen balance and interface repair. It is the first to achieve mass production in China.
The new display is yet to be mass-produced. In fact, the company is yet to say if it plans to start producing the 500Hz+ display anytime soon. When it does, it will beat other displays from gaming hardware manufacturers like Alienware, ASUS, and Acer who can only boast of 360Hz displays. The industry may not be ready for such a refresh rate, though, as the computer hardware required to run this kind of display isn’t rampant.
