/PRZWT/On September 11, BOE Global Innovation Partner Conference 2025 (BOE IPC 2025) with the theme of "Screen IoT AI Renewal" was held in Beijing. BOE has held IPC for eight consecutive years for global display and IoT ecological partners. This conference continues the WEEK model. It not only builds a communication platform for more than ten professional forums, but also connects investor interaction, e-sports carnival and other special activities, and more carefully creates BOE x partner innovation exhibitions, so that a variety of industry debut new products can be showcased.
In this grand event, BOE not only showcased its marketization, internationalization and professional corporate characteristics, but also pointed out the direction for the sustainable development of the industry by interpreting the "N-curve" theory and issuing a strategic system.
"N-Curve" Deepening: Cracking the Cycle Password for Enterprises
Last year, BOE first proposed the "Nth curve" theory of corporate strategy elevation, which attracted the attention of the industry. At this year's conference, with the accelerated penetration of AI technology in the industrial field, BOE conducted an in-depth explanation of this theory, revealing the core logic for enterprises to break through development bottlenecks and achieve sustained growth.
Chen Yanshun, chairperson of BOE, pointed out in his keynote speech that AI is currently experiencing a dual explosion of technological transition and industrial landing, and this trend has injected new connotations into the "Nth curve". In his opinion, the "Nth curve" is by no means a simple business development. It is based on the core advantages of the enterprise, accurately docking market opportunities, and forming a self-iterative system of dynamic evolution. It is the only way for enterprises to move from single growth to ecological development.
Take the technological evolution of the display industry as an example, from CRT to semiconductor display, from LCD to today's OLED, the irreversibility of technological iteration forces companies to have the ability to look ahead - when the existing technology curve has not yet reached the ceiling, it is necessary to plan a new development curve in advance.
Chen Yanshun revealed that BOE always follows three core standards when choosing the direction of new technologies: First, it is highly related to glass-based technology to ensure that it is in the same vein as its own core capabilities; second, the market size needs to reach more than 10 billion yuan in China and more than 10 billion US dollars globally to ensure development space; third, the goal is to directly target the top three in the world and pursue industry leadership. "The future display technology will show a diversified trend, and the fields of Micro, AR/VR, and light field display are expected to give birth to tens of billions of markets.
The integration of AI technology will greatly improve the efficiency and success rate of our judgment on the technological direction, and further strengthen the ability of enterprises to reinvent themselves. "Chen Yanshun emphasized.
AI empowers industries: from factory landing to ecological openness
Under the wave of deep integration of AI technology and the real e****my, BOE is transforming AI capabilities into a practical driving force for industrial change. At this conference, Jiang Xingqun, senior vice president and chief AI officer of BOE, delivered a keynote speech entitled "AI + Strategic Landing: The Road to IoT Innovation with Renewed Screens", and officially released the BOE AI Factory, which has become an important practical case of AI landing in the manufacturing industry.
It is understood that the BOE AI factory takes the new generation of artificial intelligence as the core driving force, and builds an AI native system with all elements of production and manufacturing in six key links: production planning, material supply, manufacturing, quality management, energy optimization, and environmental safety. Ultimately, it realizes the comprehensive improvement of comprehensive operational efficiency and creates a new paradigm for factory development. At present, the first batch of planned AI factories of BOE has been successfully implemented, and a number of leading AI applications have played a role in actual production, providing a reference intelligent upgrade plan for the display manufacturing industry.
In the future, BOE will continue to iterate the technical core of the AI factory and promote the large-scale replication of mature experience, injecting vitality into the digital and intelligent transformation of the industry.
At the same time, the BOE Blue Whale display model for the whole industry was also officially unveiled at the conference. The model has four distinct characteristics of full-modal interaction, multi-scene adaptation, high-precision analysis, and strong logical reasoning. It relies on BOE's high-quality data sets, high-performance intelligent computing platform, and full-link AI security system. At present, the BOE Blue Whale display model has begun to output digital intelligence solutions to multiple scenarios in the three business segments of industrial manufacturing, product service, and enterprise operation.
At the conference site, AI application scenarios can be seen everywhere: the forum was hosted by the first BOE digital employee generated by AI, breaking the traditional hosting mode; AI simultaneous interpretation translation connected different languages in real time; the industry's first AI inspection robot demonstrated intelligent operation and maintenance capabilities; AI factory VR immersive experience allows the audience to intuitively feel the charm of intelligent manufacturing; the first AI ultra-real image generation technology presents a new breakthrough in visual technology. These innovative applications highlight its forward-looking practice of reshaping office, life and manufacturing models with AI under the "Internet of Things on Screens" strategy.
"From the CES exhibition at the beginning of the year, to the International Display Week in May, and then to the International Display Technology and Application Innovation Exhibition (DIC) in August, AI has become the core direction of the development of the display industry." Chen Yanshun said that based on the judgment of this trend, BOE attaches great importance to AI research and development investment: not only established an AI + Innovation and Application Committee, but also personally promoted the integration of AI technology and business; invested considerable funds to support AI research and development every year; also established a professional AI technology team of more than 500 people, focusing on the three major areas of AI + manufacturing, AI + products and AI + operations.
It is worth noting that BOE is open to the big model of the Blue Whale display industry and is willing to open up its technical capabilities to industry partners to jointly promote industrial upgrading. However, Chen Yanshun also admitted that the current AI empowering industry is still in the early stage and faces many problems to be solved. In the process of R & D and innovation, there is still room for improvement in the efficiency of screening technical directions and solutions. "These pain points are our current focus. Once these difficulties are broken through, AI technology will achieve full penetration from point to line and from line to surface in the industry, and eventually form a complete intelligent application system, driving the display industry into a new stage of development."
Deeply cultivating basic materials: driving the collaborative upgrade of the industrial chain
The technological innovation of the semiconductor display industry cannot be separated from the support of basic materials. At this conference, BOE clearly proposed to increase investment in the field of basic materials and drive the coordinated development of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain with its own actions, demonstrating the responsibility and responsibility of leading enterprises in the industry.
"In the next three years, BOE will invest 50 billion yuan in research and development to jointly develop future-oriented products and technologies through the model of building joint laboratories with customers, and accelerate the transformation and implementation of technological achievements," Chen Yanshun announced.
In order to promote innovation and development in the field of basic materials, BOE has established its first materials research institute in Yantai. "As an industry leader, it is our responsibility to drive the upgrade of the whole industrial chain. In the past three years, BOE has invested over 40 billion yuan in R & D funds, purchased over 370 billion yuan in materials, and completed 250 technical cooperation projects. In the future, we will continue to display new technologies through platforms such as International Display Week and Global Innovation Partner Conference, and force innovation with market demand, leading the direction of technological upgrading in the industry," Chen Yanshun said.
In the face of the tide of new technology iteration, new consumption upgrading and the emergence of new scenarios, JD Founder is actively responding to the national "artificial intelligence +" strategy, grasping the key window period of industrial development, continuously deepening the core strategy of "IoT of screens", and promoting the two-way empowerment of technological innovation and application development.
In the future, BOE will continue to join hands with global ecological partners to continuously develop and reshape the smart scene of thousands of industries, with leading technical strength and scene innovation ability, deeply empower the whole industrial chain, driven by AI technology, inject new vitality into the industry, and lead the industry towards intelligent, efficient, green and sustainable high-quality development.
