Innovation at Tianma: A Smart Future
With the continuous rise of market demand for intelligent displays, the display technology industry is facing ever-increasing challenges. In this long-term race, Tianma has adhered to its innovation-driven development philosophy, increasing its research and development investments and enhancing its technological layout. The TM19 and TM20 production lines, Tianma’s first high-generation production lines, will continue to provide strong support for its IT business. The TM19 line will supplement the production capacity and technology support for TFT-LCD in the IT business, while the TM20 will provide professional production capacity for IT modules.
The diverse technological capabilities of these production lines underline Tianma’s unique, differentiated strategy and strengthen its ability to open new markets. TM19, the company’s first high-generation line focused on small and medium-sized displays, operates 100% fully automated, featuring the industry’s most advanced exposure machines with a resolution of up to 1.5µm. By using maglev transfer technology, it significantly reduces particle contamination by 50%-70%, ensuring high cleanliness. It also features the industry-first UMC channel for rapid switching lines with zero waste time and the first automatic mask replacement technology in the color film section, reducing the time compared to industry standards by 45 minutes.

TM20, drawing on decades of industry experience, has adopted a lean manufacturing and stable production approach with a focus on high standards, automation, and information technology. It achieves a 90% automation rate, setting an advanced standard in the industry for customized production solutions. The TM19 and TM20 plants, located in Xiamen and Wuhu, began construction in 2022 and successfully reached key milestones in 2023 and 2024, with the TM20 lighting up within the same year.
