Report: TCL's first printed OLED monitor panel entering production in July

TCL CSOT's first printed OLED monitor panel – a 27-inch 4K 120Hz panel – will reportedly enter mass production in July 2026, way ahead of schedule.

TCL is preparing to enter the OLED monitor market in a major way.

In addition to its surprisingly sleek first OLED monitor, the 32-inch 32X3A with a 4K WOLED panel, the company's display manufacturing division, TCL CSOT, is reportedly close to starting production of its own OLED monitor panel, which will be printed.


Upcoming 27" 4K OLED
TCL CSOT's first OLED monitor panel to enter production will reportedly be its 27-inch 4K 120Hz RGB-stripe OLED panel.

According to a supply chain analyst report from Video Hall (视讯堂), the panel has just passed the internal verification required for mass production. Chinese media report that the panel could enter mass production in July 2026.

FlatpanelsHD saw a prototype of this 27-inch panel in early 2025. Here are our first impressions.


Printed OLED panels
If the report proves accurate, TCL CSOT will begin printing OLED panels well ahead of the planned 2027 completion of its new 8.6G OLED plant. BOE and Samsung Display are also accelerating timelines to start production at their upcoming 8.6G OLED plants.

It is worth noting, however, that the July timeline refers to the panel itself. It will be up to TCL Electronics or other partners to integrate the panel into a monitor and bring it to market, which could take longer.

Inkjet printing is expected to eventually reduce production costs for OLED panels. TCL CSOT will initially focus on printing medium-sized panels for monitors, laptops, tablets and similar devices. The company has also previously showcased OLED TV prototypes.
