Wang Dongsheng, founder and chairman of BOE, recently emphasized that artificial intelligence (AI) is the key driver of the fourth industrial revolution, influencing the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and even genetic technology. He stated that investing in AI will be a core part of BOE’s future strategy.
On November 14, during an event in Wuhan, Wang shared his vision for BOE’s strategic focus on IoT. He highlighted the company's efforts to explore opportunities and challenges in display devices, smart systems, health services, and sensors within the IoT era. By collaborating with industry partners, BOE aims to build a comprehensive IoT ecosystem.

Wang described BOE’s next phase with the phrase “open both ends, core screen gas/device,†signaling a broader strategic shift. At the Global Innovation Partners Conference, he elaborated on his views about AI’s role in the fourth industrial revolution, emphasizing its impact on IoT and genetic advancements.
He outlined the evolution of AI over time: from 1950 to 2015, it was in the foundational stage; from 2016 to 2030, it entered the ANI (Artificial Narrow Intelligence) phase, corresponding to IoT 1.0, which focused on one-to-one and one-to-many connections. From 2030 to 2045, the AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) stage will bring many-to-many smart connections, marking IoT 2.0. After 2045, ASI (Artificial Super Intelligence) could emerge, potentially leading to IoT 3.0.
BOE has been actively expanding its global footprint. In October, the company announced the mass production of China’s first 6th generation flexible AMOLED screen, becoming only the second company worldwide to achieve this milestone. This move is seen as challenging Samsung’s dominance in the market.
Earlier, in 2015, BOE invested in the world’s highest-generation line — the Hefei 10.5th generation TFT-LCD production line, positioning itself as a leader in LCD technology. It also plans to launch a 10.5 generation line in Wuhan with a 46 billion investment.
In terms of R&D, BOE allocates 7% of its revenue annually to research and development. In 2016, the company filed 7,570 new patent applications, with 80% being invention patents. In the first half of 2017, it filed over 4,000 new applications, with an expected annual total exceeding 8,000. Its cumulative patent portfolio now exceeds 55,000, placing it at the top of the industry.
According to WIPO’s 2016 PCT rankings, BOE ranked eighth globally with 1,673 international patent applications, surpassing Samsung and trailing only behind Intel.
At the conference, BOE also announced a strategic partnership with Alibaba and SAP to develop a new retail ecosystem. This collaboration marks a further step in BOE’s open application and technology-driven strategy, aiming to integrate its innovations into broader markets.
