Review of Chinas Two "Worlds First" LCD Liquid crystal displays

Review of China's Two "World's First" LCD Liquid crystal displays

China has already become the country with the largest application volume of mobile phones and the world's top terminal shipment volume. Both South Korean and Japanese enterprises regard China as a strong competitor. Information consumption has achieved success in the field of mobile phones. It is precisely because of the continuous rise in demand for mobile phones that global panel manufacturers are operating at full capacity to produce LCD screens, but small and medium-sized LCD panels are still in short supply. The current market prospects for liquid crystal panels are very good. Not only have the 8.5-generation lines in Suzhou and Guangzhou started construction, but companies with technical backgrounds are also planning to build 6-generation lines in Chengdu. In addition, the 8.5-generation line in Nanjing has been put on the agenda, and Shenzhen is preparing for the second 8.5-generation line. By then, the Chinese mainland will become the world's largest production base for 8.5-generation liquid crystal panels.

Investing in high-generation liquid crystal panel production lines will greatly drive the development of the local economy. Generally speaking, investing in a high-generation liquid crystal panel production line will bring about four times the economic benefits. For instance, investing 32.8 billion yuan in Chongqing to build an 8.5-generation new semiconductor display project will bring about over 100 billion yuan in GPD-driven benefits. It is evident that the flat panel display industry plays a very significant role in stimulating domestic demand.

The market outlook for liquid crystal panels is very promising. Not only are small and medium-sized panels in short supply, but large-sized liquid crystal panels will also cause a stir. In 2011, Japan stopped using analog TVS, triggering a wave of digital TV replacement. In 2010, the sales of LCD TVS reached 20 million units, while the annual sales of ordinary LCD TVS were only over 6 million units. It is understood that by 2020, China will achieve a complete transition from analog TV to digital TV. At that time, the demand for LCD TVS in China will rise to a new level. If policies can provide support and subsidies for digital TV, the demand for LCD will increase significantly and the flat panel display industry will also experience great development.

It is worth noting that the information superhighway has driven the rapid development of 4K ultra-high-definition television. It can be said that consumption drives domestic demand, and 4K TVS are an important direction. Japan decided to launch 4K ultra-high-definition channels in 2014. It is expected that large-screen ultra-high-definition TVS will have an annual growth space of 30%. Their demand for 4K LCD panels may also become an important growth point for domestic flat panel manufacturers.
