Foxconn bullish on future of 8K displays

Electronics manufacturing giant Foxconn Technology Group has high hopes for its 8K display ecosystem, especially in the security, healthcare and manufacturing industries, according to a senior executive of the firm.

Foxconn launched 8K TVs last year, but its vice-president Jacob Chen said there is wider potential for application of the technology and the future market could be worth thousands of trillions of yuan.

The 8K TVs have a screen resolution ratio of 7,680 by 4,320 pixels - 4.3 times clearer than human eyesight and four times higher than the 4K ones, which are still hit products of most TV manufacturers in Chinese home appliance stores.
