MSI’s 27-inch OLED Monitor Ditches Metal-Mask Manufacturing For Inkjet Printing, Promising Sharper Text And Higher Yields

The monitor uses an inkjet-printed OLED panel, which has been supplied by TCL CSOT for better features.

Conventional OLED monitors are usually manufactured using a process called Fine Metal Mask or FMM evaporation. These metal masks can sag or deform on larger displays, which basically reduces the manufacturing yield and increases the costs. MSI, on the other hand, went with Inkjet printing, which uses a completely different approach.

The company has today introduced what it calls the World's first 27-inch 4K 12
