HKC, established in 2001 in Shenzhen, China, is an LCD producer that has three LCD production sites in Chongqing, Chuzhou and Mianyang. The company is one of the world's largest LCD makers, with an estimated market share of around 10% from the global TV panel market, and around 6.5% of the global display industry as a whole.
HKC aims to become an AMOLED producer. In 2023, it started a collaboration with JDI to build an eLEAP AMOLED production line in China. These plans were canceled though towards the end of 2023. The company continued to develop its AMOLED technologies, and in early 2025 it acquired Royole's AMOLED production line equipment.
In July 2025 HKC produced its first AMOLED display sample - a smartphone type panel, produced on an advanced Oxide-TFT (IGZO) backplane.
In addition to display panel production, HKC also produces display products, and is producing OLED monitors, based on QD-OLED panels produced by SDC - such as the GS27QK gaming monitor.

8.6-Gen AMOLED production lines - current snapshot and future industry outlook
The OLED's industry main new target, for the past several years, has been the IT display sector, mainly tablets, laptops and monitors. While we have seen OLED displays penetrate this market many years ago, the current 6-Gen AMOLED production lines are optimized for smartphone and wearable display production.
A few years ago display makers realized that OLED production lines with larger substrates will enable lower cost production, and will enable to increase the adoption of OLEDs in such devices. When this converged with technology readiness , several companies initiated new projects, all of which use 8.6-Gen (2250 x 2600 mm) substrates. In this article, we detail all four 8.6-Gen OLED production lines that are currently being built - by Samsung Display, BOE, TCL CSOT and Visionox. We also other display makers and how likely they are of launching large-scale 8.6-Gen lines as well. Finally, we see how these new lines will effect the entire OLED industry, whether it is likely we'll see new lines (do we actually need all that added capacity?) and what we expect to happen next.
