The display industry is buzzing with excitement as TCL China Star Optoelectronics Technology (CSOT) prepares to enter the printed OLED monitor market. Recent reports revealed details about the company’s upcoming 27-inch printed OLED display panel, which could reshape the future of high-end monitors.
Size: 27 inches
Resolution: 4K UHD (3840 × 2160)
Refresh Rate: 120Hz / 144Hz
Target Market: Office, content creators, and professional users
These specs align with the prototype TCL CSOT showcased at SID 2025, signaling its strong ambition in the OLED field.
Industry insiders expect TCL CSOT to start mass production in late Q3 2026. While not officially confirmed, preparations are already underway, suggesting the launch could be right on schedule.
To ensure large-scale production, TCL CSOT is building a new 8.6-generation printed OLED production line (T8):
Investment: ~RMB 20 billion (USD 2.7–2.8 billion)
Capacity: 45,000 substrates/month initially, expandable to 90,000
Construction Start: October 2025
Equipment Installation: End of 2026
Full Capacity: 2027
This positions TCL as one of the few companies capable of mass-producing large-scale printed OLED panels.
Printed OLED promises lower costs, higher efficiency, and easier scalability. However, challenges remain:
Improving brightness and lifetime
Ensuring uniformity across large panels
Boosting yield rates for mass adoption
If TCL CSOT can tackle these hurdles, its 27-inch OLED could become a game-changer in the professional monitor market.
This panel is designed for designers, content creators, and office professionals who demand excellent color accuracy and contrast. Early reports suggest brands are already testing samples, meaning real-world adoption could follow quickly.
