Regarding the impact of rising memory chip prices on the display industry, the company stated that, considering factors such as growing demand for TV screen area, the effect on television terminal demand is expected to be limited.
Concerning OLED products, with the influence of memory price increases since 2025, consulting agencies project that terminal demand will face pressure in 2026, leading to a slowdown in the growth pace of flexible AMOLED in the smartphone sector. Meanwhile, the shipment proportion of high-end products like LTPO and foldable displays within the industry is expected to continue rising, driven by overseas premium brands. Furthermore, as the industry's 8.6th-generation OLED production lines begin mass production in 2026, catalyzed by this development, the penetration rates of OLED in automotive and IT applications are both anticipated to increase.
Production Timeline and Financial Forecast
Regarding the mass production timeline for its self-invested 8.6th-generation AMOLED production line, the company explained that to better address the demand for flexible AMOLED in the high-end medium-sized product segment, it announced the investment in this project in November 2023. The project's foundation was laid in March 2024, the main structure was topped out in September, process equipment installation began four months ahead of schedule on May 20, 2025, and the line was lit in December of the same year. Mass production is expected to commence around mid-2026.
On future depreciation and capital expenditure trends, the company indicated that as depreciation from its existing production lines continues to decrease and new projects under construction are gradually transferred to fixed assets in stages based on capacity ramp-up, the company's total depreciation amount will begin to decline from the 2025 baseline.
In terms of capital expenditure, the display industry has gradually transitioned from a high-speed development phase of large-scale capacity expansion to a mature stage. Consequently, as the company's investment scale decreases in the future, its capital expenditure will also gradually decline. Regarding capital expenditures for innovative business layouts, the company currently has no plans for a secondary equity offering.
