Beijing Visionox says that the company's OLED facility in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province, which is said to be the first of its kind in China, will be formally opened in the second half of 2008.

Involving a total investment of about RMB700 million, the 30000 square meter facility will be used to produce small size OLED displaying appliances which will be used for industries such as communications, industrial control, consumer electronics, vehicle electronics, avivation and medical instruments.

Visionox's OLED technology is provided by Tsinghua University, but the production line is designed by Visionox itself.

foundation stone laying ceremony for the Chinese mainland's first large-scale OLED (Organic Light Emitting Display) production line was held November 6 in Kunsan, Jiangsu province. It is an application of a high-tech achievement of the 863 (High Tech Research and Development) Program during the tenth Five Year. The technology used in the production line comes from Tsinghua University and Beijing Visionox Technology Co. Ltd. The move indicates that China has made major breakthrough in independent technological innovation and industrialization of research results in the new flat panel display area.
OLED is a technology that directly converts electrical power into light by organic semiconductor materials. Because of many advantages such as low-cost, ultra-light, fast response, low power consumption, wide viewing angle, excellent low temperature performance and flexible a soft performance display. OLED is generally considered to be the most promising one of the Display Technology by the industry field.
Tsinghua University began basic research on OLED since 1996 and set up Beijing Visionox in cooperation with other investors at the end of 2001 to engage in the construction of pilot line and development of production and process technologies. Visionox has applied for over 100 OLED patents at home and abroad, and are major participants of the international and national standardizations of OLED.
