t410s lcd panel made in china

The Lenovo ThinkPad T410 is a 14.1-inch widescreen business notebook following a long line of Lenovo and IBM models before it. The T410 is offered as a full-size system and in a slimmed-down model called the ThinkPad T410s. Besides being much thinner, the primary difference between these two systems is the T410s is built around low-power components, and the T410 is more performance focused.

Other components like the system memory or wireless cards are also easy to get to. As listed on our spec sheet, our review model included 2GB of DDR3 memory. This left one slot open on the bottom of the notebook, underneath a small access panel. The WWAN or 3G card slot is also located in this same area, with antenna leads and spare screws ready and waiting. To get access to the other stick of RAM or Wi-Fi card you need to remove the keyboard.

After removing one additional screw underneath access panel, you can slide the keyboard forward and lift up the bottom edge. This exposes the Wi-Fi card and the primary RAM slot which you can see peaking out from below the thin plastic sheet in the middle. The processor, heatpipe assembly, and cooling fan are also visible in this area, although they require further disassembly to service.

The ThinkPad T410 which Lenovo was kind enough to loan to us came equipped with a matte-textured WXGA+ (1440×900) resolution panel. This display panel comes standard with LED-backlighting and offers a reasonable brightness range. With about 15 levels to chose from, you can easily find a comfort zone no matter if you are working in a pitch-black room or a bright office. Color saturation seemed very reasonable, although most consumer glossy panels do have a slight edge. Contrast was about average, with black levels appearing dark gray but not completely black. Reflections off the matte surface were minimal at worst, keeping glare from bright overhead lighting or the Sun out of your eyes.

Chinese companies have gained a competitive edge in the large-screen display industry and the exit of South Korean counterparts such as Samsung Electronics and LG Display from the liquid crystal display market will bring opportunities for China"s panel makers despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Market research firm Sigmaintell said BOE Technology Group Co Ltd－a leading Chinese supplier of display products and solutions－became the world"s largest shipper of LCD TV panels for the first time in 2019.

The Beijing-based company shipped 53.3 million units of LCD panels in 2019, with production capacity increasing by more than 20 percent on a yearly basis.

The consultancy said the LCD TV panel production area of Chinese manufacturers will account for more than 50 percent of the global total this year, surpassing South Korean competitors who are accelerating the shutdown of large-sized LCD panel production capacity due to competition from Chinese manufacturers.

It estimated the production capacity of large-sized LCD panels will continue to increase in China over the next three years. In addition, global LCD TV panel shipments stood at 283 million pieces last year, a slight decrease of 0.2 percent year-on-year. Meanwhile, the shipment area was 160 million square meters, an increase of 6.3 percent year-on-year.

"Chinese companies have gained an upper hand in large-screen LCD displays. Samsung and LG"s decision to exit from the LCD sector means Chinese panel makers will take a dominant position in this field," said Li Dongsheng, founder and chairman of Chinese tech giant TCL Technology Group Corp.

Li said South Korean firms will focus on organic LED screens and quantum dot LED displays, while Chinese TV panel makers are catching up at a rapid pace.

Data consultancy Digitimes Research said it comes as little surprise that Samsung has opted to withdraw from the LCD panel sector as its LCD business was losing money in every quarter of 2019 due to challenges from Chinese competitors.

BOE said its Gen 10.5 TFTLCD production line achieved mass production in Hefei, Anhui province, in March 2018. The plant mainly produces high-definition LCD screens of 65 inches and above. With a total investment of 46 billion yuan ($6.5 billion), the company"s second Gen 10.5 TFT-LCD production line launched operations in Wuhan, Hubei province, in December.

The Gen 11 TFT-LCD and active-matrix OLED production line of Shenzhen China Star Optoelectronics Technology, a subsidiary of TCL, officially entered operations in November 2018, producing 43-inch, 65-inch and 75-inch LCD screens.

Chen Lijuan, an analyst at Sigmaintell, said panel manufacturers should not just invest in production lines, but also pay more attention to the establishment of the whole supply chain, including raw materials, equipment and technology.

Bian Zheng, deputy director of research at AVC Revo, a unit of market consultancy firm AVC, said China will have a 51 percent market share in global TV shipments in 2020, while South Korea will have 25 percent, adding that large-screen TV panels will bolster healthy development of the industry.

Bian said the OLED and QLED will be the next-generation flat-panel display technologies to be in the spotlight. LG Display is currently the world"s only supplier of large-screen OLED TV panels.

OLED is a relatively new technology and part of recent display innovation. It has a fast response rate, wide viewing angles, super high-contrast images and richer colors. It is much thinner and can be made flexible, compared with traditional LCD display panels.
