On December 20, the 10th and 5th generation of TFT-LCD (liquid crystal panel) production line in Hefei, Beijing Oriental, which is the first highest generation line in the world, was put into operation ahead of schedule and became a new milestone in the global display industry. Analysts believe that this not only means that 2018 will be the first year of 8K (8K display resolution as high as 7680 *4320), but also marks that China has become a leader in the global display field.

Display generation line algebra is defined according to the size of glass substrates used in the production of display screens. Generally speaking, the higher the generation line algebra of the display screen, the larger the maximum size of the economic cutting display screen, and the higher the production efficiency. The industry recognized that the number of economic cutting slices is at least 6, that is, a glass substrate must cut out six or more display screens, the production line has the minimum economic benefits. For example, 8.5 generations of wire can cut 6 55-inch screens, the maximum screen size of economic cutting is 55 inches; 10 generations of wire can cut 70 inches, while 10.5 generations of wire can cut 75 inches.
Beijing Oriental built 10.5 generation line independently in Hefei in 2015. Its design capacity is 120,000 glass substrates per month. One glass substrates can cut 8 65-inch LCD panels. The person in charge of Beijing Oriental said that the 10.5 generation line surpassed any previous LCD panel production line in terms of product design and development, process guarantee and technical control difficulty. At the product offline and customer delivery ceremony held on that day, Beijing Oriental delivered 75 inches 8K 60Hz, 75 inches 8K 120Hz and other large-scale UHD displays to Samsung, LG, SONY and other customers.
Nowadays, super high definition and large size have become the development trend of display industry. According to IHS data, the composite growth rate of 8K panel market will reach 111% in the next five years, and the penetration rate of 8K will reach 25% in the large size panel market with sixty inches or more. With the opportunity of 8K broadcasting in Tokyo Olympic Games and Beijing Winter Olympic Games, 8K has become the trigger point to show the further outbreak of the industry. IHS also pointed out that with the introduction of more 8K ultra-high resolution video content and TV products, the development and expansion of 8K supply chain and ecosystem will become an important issue for the TV industry in 2018, of which 65 inches will be the key product in the 8K TV market.

However, in recent years, Samsung, LG, Skyworth, Kangjia, Hisense and other color power plants have shown 8K TV products, and show good prospects for their future, but due to the imperfect 8K industry chain, large-scale shipments have not yet been made. "The launch of the first 10.5 generation line in Beijing Oriental World means that 8K Display will achieve real mass production." Zhang Yu, senior vice president of Beijing Oriental, said.

Industry insiders said that because of its unique visual experience advantages, 8K display has a good market prospects not only in the family field, but also in the commercial field. For example, in the medical field, when doctors perform high-precision surgery, 8K camera can be used to improve the accuracy of doctors'operation on fine parts, thereby improving the success rate of surgery. In the field of art exhibition such as museums and Exhibition halls, direct display of some precious cultural relics may accelerate their aging, if digital display with ordinary resolution is used. The exhibition will affect the aesthetic feeling of cultural relics details because of the pixel granularity, while 8K display can reflect cultural relics details through perfect pixels, which can not only ensure the safety of cultural relics, but also provide the audience with the opportunity to contact cultural relics and art works at close range. In the field of security, combined with face recognition and image recognition technology, 8K display will bring about. More refined display effect, showing more details that ordinary resolution can not capture... These applications provide a huge market space for 8K commercial applications.

As a leading global semiconductor display industry, Beijing Oriental has put forward the "8425 strategy" in this forward-looking way, namely "promoting 8K, popularizing 4K, replacing 2K, and making good use of 5G". With the coming of 5G era, Beijing Oriental said that it should not only solve the "screen" problem, but also promote the development of the whole industrial chain.
