Recently, during an investor survey, Tianma announced that the construction of its new production lines is progressing steadily. The core equipment for TM19 began installation in 2023, and the line is expected to light up soon, gradually moving into trial production. TM20 is set to light up its first product in December 2023, with product sampling and trial production already underway. The Micro LED production line saw its first equipment installed by the end of 2023 and is expected to light up soon.
Beyond production line updates, Tianma addressed questions related to its AMOLED smartphone business, automotive display business, and IT business.
Regarding the AMOLED flexible smartphone business, both of Tianma’s flexible AMOLED production lines (TM17, TM18) maintained strong operational performance in the first quarter of this year. The company plans to continue optimizing TM17’s production capacity to capture more sales opportunities while accelerating the phased capacity release of the TM18 line. With robust demand for flexible OLED smartphone displays, Tianma expects a continued surge in shipments of flexible AMOLED smartphone products in 2024.
In the automotive display business, Tianma views this market as a strategic core focus. Leveraging nearly 30 years of experience in the automotive field, the company has built a strong, competitive system that spans R&D, manufacturing, quality assurance, marketing, and supply chain management. Tianma will fully utilize its existing LTPS G5.5 and G6 production lines to expand LTPS capacity within the automotive display sector.
Additionally, the company is investing in new production capabilities, including the 8.6th-generation line (TM19) and a new display module production line (TM20). The Micro LED production line in Xiamen will also prioritize automotive display applications, enhancing overall automotive display solutions, advancing R&D capabilities for cutting-edge automotive display technologies, and accelerating commercialization of innovative technologies. Tianma aims to strengthen its technological edge across short-, medium-, and long-term timelines. The company will continue expanding and strengthening its automotive business, focusing on traditional automotive displays, automotive electronics, and the burgeoning electric vehicle market.
In the IT business, Tianma has positioned IT displays as a key growth area within its “2+1+N” strategic framework, ramping up efforts in recent years. The company is leveraging its accumulated resources and customer base in LTPS to rapidly expand into the high-end tablet and laptop markets. Tianma has achieved full coverage of its LTPS product line and is further expanding its global customer base.
As the TM19 and TM20 production lines advance, they will supplement the company’s IT business with additional TFT-LCD production capacity and technical support. This diverse combination of technologies and capacities will open new markets, enabling the company to expand into new fields. Tianma’s diverse technological solutions will also enhance its competitiveness with clients, supporting a broader ecosystem for customer development and strengthening customer loyalty.
