If you are an avid follower of Gizmochina, I’m sure you’ve heard the name BOE many times before. This company, which specializes in the development and production of display panels, collaborates with many manufacturers, including Apple. Who knows, maybe even the device you’re reading this on was produced by them. Considering BOE is ranked first in the world by shipments of LCD panels for smartphones, tablets, notebooks, monitors, and TVs, this possibility is quite high. Furthermore, the number of display patents BOE holds in the USA further confirms their success. Here are the details…

BOE Surpasses LG to Become Second Largest Display Patent Holder in US

We know that BOE is already a significant player in the global display market. They produce screens for a wide range of products, from entry-level to flagship devices. However, this success is no accident. According to a South Korean lawyer, BOE ranks second in the number of display panel patents registered in the US, only behind Samsung Display. This is an impressive feat, especially considering the US is a major market for display panels.

BOE’s patent portfolio includes patents on a wide range of display technologies, such as OLED displays, LCD displays, and touch displays. The company has also been granted patents for its display manufacturing processes. The companies strong patent portfolio gives it a competitive advantage in the US market. It also allows the company to license its patents to other companies, which generates additional revenue.

However, it is important to note that BOE’s patents have been challenged by other companies, such as Samsung Display. In 2020, 2021, and 2022, BOE had 280, 300, and 337 patents rejected by the US Patent and Trademark Office due to Samsung Display’s existing patents. Of course, encountering issues with new technologies is common. Even Apple sometimes faces patent lawsuits. It doesn’t seem like these challenges will stop BOE.

In fact, experts suggest that if the number of patent applications continues to increase at this rate, BOE might surpass Samsung Display in a short time. If this happens, the South Korean manufacturer would lose its leadership position to a Chinese company. Nonetheless, all we can do is wait and see how things unfold.

SID display week was organized recently in San Jose, USA. Many companies including Samsung, Visionox, and TCL showcased their best display technologies but the Chinese display manufacturer, BOE, stole the show with its unique 17.3-inch foldable AMOLED display for laptops.

BOE’s foldable display, the world’s first and largest of its kind, drew a large number of visitors at the exhibition. The display features a 100% DCI-P3 color gamut and ultra-slim bezels. It has a 4:3 aspect ratio and offers a 2560 x 1920 resolution. Moreover, the f-OLED display comes with 10bit RGB and HDR500.

For the unversed, f-OLED is BOE’s one-of-a-kind flexible OLED technology solution. It comes in several forms such as full-screen display, foldable display, and rollable display. It can be integrated with multiple features such as under-display fingerprint recognition, under-display camera, and biometrics. Hence, opening up a whole new world of flexible displays.

BOE revealed that the new f-OLED displays will be supplied exclusively to ASUS for the ZenBook 17-Fold OLED laptop launching later this year. BOE also won the award for Best Technology Demonstration for its 17.3-in. foldable OLED display.

The company also showcased the world’s largest 95-inch 8K OLED display at the exhibition. This display is created using high-end TFT technology and a white OLED vapor deposition process. The display delivers pixel-level light management and maximum HDR image quality, demonstrating the company’s technological supremacy in large-sized OLED displays.

Aside from BOE, TCL also revealed some impressive display technologies. It unveiled its 34-inch WQHD R1500 curved Mini LED display designed especially for e-sports. The Mini LED display offers a 21:9 ultra-wide aspect ratio, a 165Hz high refresh rate, and a fast-responding HVA screen with a smaller halo.

Samsung Galaxy A13 and A23 may come with BOE display panels starting May: Report

Sudhanshu — Wed, 06 Apr 2022 14:06:13 +0000

Last month, Samsung launched the budget range Galaxy A series smartphones like the A13 and A23 in India and other global markets. The devices come with in-house display panels, but that might change soon.

Samsung Galaxy A23 4G

According to a BusinessKorea report, the Chinese display maker BOE will provide the displays in the Galaxy A13 and A23 series smartphones starting May 2022.

But that’s not all as industry insiders have said that Samsung has proposed that BOE produces the display panels for its next-gen flagship smartphones. But as we know, the Samsung flagships feature the cutting edge LTPO technology OLED panels, and to meet their standards, Samsung Electronics has requested BOE to verify its technology first. Experts on the matter have stated that meeting the technical quality requirements such as thermal shocks and life tests will be the make or break of this potential deal.

As we know, Samsung is the main supplier of foldable display panels right now, so the Korean giant might be looking to free up some production capacity for their foldable panels by outsourcing the production of regular LCD and OLED panels from China’s BOE. On the topic of foldable, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 is rumored to debut this year in the month of August. Additionally, the Google Pixel NotePad foldable smartphone is said to enter production in Q3 2022, so Samsung will likely need all the production capacity it can muster to keep up with the demand.

BOE showcases the world’s highest refresh rate display – 500Hz+

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.
