(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Largest flat panel display manufacturer in China has placed significant
orders for Applied Materials' PVD and PECVD display systems
* Validates the ability of Applied Materials' display systems to enable
faster transistors and refresh rates for ultra-high resolution displays
* Capability to deposit new high-performance materials key to enabling future
advanced display era
SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 2, 2013 -BOE Technology Group, Co., the largest flat
panel display manufacturer in China, has placed significant orders for advanced
Gen 8.5 and Gen 5.5 display production equipment from Applied Materials for use
in multiple facilities. BOE selected these systems because of their ability to
produce faster, smaller thin film transistors for the next era of high
definition televisions and high pixel density displays for future mobile
devices. Applied Materials is providing a full suite of advanced deposition
equipment including the leading-edge Applied PiVot® PVD and PECVD systems,
which are capable of supporting critical new technologies such as metal oxide
and LTPS.
"BOE continues to execute on its manufacturing capacity and technology
initiatives and appreciates the strong cooperative relationship with Applied
Materials in developing and creating value in support of the world's largest TV
and mobile display market," said Mr. Liu Xiaodong, executive vice president,
chief operation officer of BOE. "Over the past year we have achieved key high-
volume Gen 8.5 production and yield milestones, which demonstrate our leadership
in growing this strategic industry in China. We are pleased to work with Applied
Materials to implement the new technologies needed to continue meeting the high
quality, high performance screens consumers have come to expect and demand."
"Applied Materials is delighted to play an important role in BOE's growth
strategy and is committed to providing the leading-edge technologies to enable
its continued success," said Ali Salehpour, group vice president, general
manager, Applied Materials Energy and Environmental Solutions and Display
Business Group. "There is a major shift taking place in the display industry
toward adopting new materials, and BOE selecting Applied Materials equipment
validates the technology differentiation and productivity gains we provide to
our customers. Together, BOE and Applied are enabling consumers to experience
displays with world-class color, clarity and brightness."
The Applied PiVot PVD and PECVD systems selected by BOE provide a high-
performance, cost-effective path to manufacturing stunning high resolution
amorphous silicon, metal oxide and LTPS displays. These systems can
significantly increase production and achieve the same economies of scale that
enabled the cost of LCD TVs to fall by more than 95% over the past decade and
brought large-area LCD televisions within the reach of billions of consumers
around the globe.
