During the event, BOE unveiled an ink-jet printed 55" UHD OLED TV prototype. This is the first time that BOE demonstrated an ink-jet printed TV (in May 2018 BOE unveiled 5.5" FHD flexible AMOLED which was also produced using a printing process).

According to reports, in June 2018 BOE started to establish an R&D production line (in Hefei) that uses Kateeva's inkjet deposition equipment. It is likely that this new display was produced at BOE's Hefei line.

During the event, BOE also updated that its focus in 2019 will be to accelerate its flexible OLED development. The construction of BOE's B11 6-Gen Mianyang flexible OLED production line is "proceeding in an orderly manner".

Assuming lifetimes are similar to other technologies, I would think that this will bring costs way down. It will be interesting to see how much these cost when they reach the market. I've been waiting for these to hit the market for some time.

I also hope that they start producing monitors, too.
