BEIJING -- Top Chinese panel supplier BOE Technology Group said Tuesday it will build a 63 billion yuan ($8.84 billion) production facility to make OLED screens using advanced technology.

The factory, planned for Chengdu, will turn out organic light-emitting diode substrates using 8.6-generation technology. These panels, sized 2,620 by 2,290 millimeters, are more efficient than earlier generations because they can be made into more displays.
