A subsidiary of Yuantai plans to jointly build a large-scale electronic paper module production line with Daqing

On April 2, AU Optronics announced that its subsidiary Daqing and E Ink Yuantai Technology have signed an investment conditional letter. They plan to establish a joint venture with a capital of NT$390 million. Daqing will hold 51% of the shares and E Ink will hold 49%. The company will jointly build a large-scale e-paper module production line at AUO's Taoyuan Longke plant, which is expected to be put into production in the fourth quarter of 2025.

In this cooperation, Yuantai will provide key e-paper technologies and materials, combined with AUO's panel design, intelligent manufacturing and management capabilities, as well as Daqing's customer resources and global market layout in the smart retail field, to support its display product line strategy and other strong foundations to tap into low-carbon digital transformation business opportunities, and actively expand large-scale e-paper display application business opportunities.

It is reported that AUO's subsidiary Daqing has provided various solutions in multiple vertical application fields such as smart retail, enterprise and education, transportation, and medical care by integrating advanced display technology and software and hardware application services.

As ESG has evolved from a trend to a norm, the energy saving, readability, efficiency improvement, and environmental friendliness of e-paper displays complement each other and the development of green business opportunities that are increasingly valued, and the market demand for large-scale digital display applications is gradually increasing. This time, the two companies have seized the ESG wave of low-carbon digital transformation and joined forces to create a more complete supply chain and ecosystem. Both parties will work together to stimulate efficiency and increase the adoption rate of large-scale e-paper display applications.
