Summary
TM Roh led a Samsung delegation to China to deepen display sourcing talks with BOE, TCL and CSOT, a move centered on future TV panel supply and broader manufacturing cooperation.
BOE's B16 plant in Chengdu was the first stop, where Samsung reviewed mass production of 8th-generation OLED panels for laptops and other devices and discussed follow-on cooperation.
Samsung's visiting team was dominated by Visual Display executives rather than mobile leaders, signaling an immediate focus on TVs even though BOE already supplies some mid-range Galaxy phone and watch panels.
Talks with TCL and CSOT were set to cover LCD panel supply, contract manufacturing and possible Tizen OS cooperation, extending Samsung's push beyond components into its software ecosystem in China.
The outreach reflects Samsung's effort to diversify supply chains as Samsung Display concentrates on higher-end QD-OLED, leaving Chinese partners to play a larger role in mass-market products.
