The new line will produce large-scale metal masks compatible with 8th generation (G8) glass substrates for larger OLED displays that are introduced in various IT devices. G8 substrates are significantly larger than the current 6th generation (G6) substrates, facilitating increased production efficiency.

[Full-Scale Ops]

  • OLED displays are increasingly being introduced into IT products such as smartphones, tablets, notebooks, and monitors. There is a growing need for larger displays, and OLED panel manufacturers are promoting mass production with large 8th generation glass substrates, which exhibit a higher production efficiency than the current 6th generation. Anticipating such needs, DNP has established a production system for the manufacture of metal masks compatible with the G8 size on the new line at our Kurosaki Plant.
  • DNP is constantly optimizing its Business Continuity Plan (BCP) and will further promote BCP with the start of operations of the new line, making it possible to provide a backup for our existing metal mask production base at our Mihara Plant, in Hiroshima Prefecture.
  • With the launch of full-scale operations at the Kurosaki factory DNP plans to double metal mask production capacity.

[Looking Ahead]

DNP will gradually increase facilities at the Kurosaki Plant, while constantly being aware of, and analyzing demand trends. DNP has designated the Digital Interface-Related business, including metal masks, as a growth area in its medium-term management plan for FY 2023 to 2025, and will strive to further expand business through concentrated investment of management resources.
