Thin-Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Displays use thin-film transistors to control the voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer at a sub-pixel level. The structure of TFT LCDs consists of a TFT “sandwich” and a BLU (Backlight Unit). A typical configuration is shown in the schematic diagram below.

Firstly, between the back and front polarizers, TFT LCD cells are made with two glass substrates – one for color filters, the other for a TFT array – and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched in between.

For normally black TFT LCDs, if we follow along a piece of light setting off from its backlight source, it will bea)guided uniformly by LGP;b)reflected and enhanced by BEF and DBEF;c)polarized by the back polarizer;d)polarization changed by twisted LC under the voltage applied by TFT arrays;e)“tinted” red/green/blue by corresponding color filter of the subpixel;f)let through the front polarizer by matched polarization; andg)finally, it will reach the surface and appears in viewer’s eyes.

For normally white panels, processd)will be the opposite – known as the polarization rotation effect, light is twisted in a voltage-off stage and can pass through the front polarizer by default, thus displaying white normally. However, when the voltage applied increases, this polarization rotation effect would be gradually diminished. And the light would not be able to pass through the front polarizer anymore without changing its polarization. In this way, certain pixels will appear in different colors.

Normally black LCDs have higher contrast and wider viewing angles without grayscale inversion phenomenon compared to their normally white relatives. And whether TFT LCDs are normally black or white depends on their LC switching mode:

2Chen, HW., Lee, JH., Lin, BY.et al.Liquid crystal display and organic light-emitting diode display: present status and future perspectives.Light Sci Appl7,17168 (2018).https://doi.org/10.1038/lsa.2017.168

As previously mentioned, TN mode functions with the polarization rotation effect. Under traditional TN/VA display mode, the liquid crystal molecules are vertically arranged, with a relatively narrow visual angle. When an external force is exerted on the screen, the liquid crystal molecular structure will sink in a herringbone pattern to slowly recover – a pattern called vertical alignment. Therefore, an evident “water ripple” usually appears when the display surface is touched and impacts the user experience. In comparison, the VA mode provides higher contrast. And MVA (multi-domain vertical alignment) is an upgraded version of VA with improved viewing angles.

BOE has been producing small glass-based OLEDs for some time, but the company"s focus is currently in flexible and foldable OLEDs. In October 2017 BOE started to produce flexible OLED displays at its first flexible OLED line, the Chengdu B7 6-Gen fab. The annual capacity of the B7 line, when complete and at 100% yields, will be 45,000 monthly 6-Gen substrates, or about 90 million smartphone OLEDs

In May 2018 BOE demonstrated its latest flexible and foldable OLEDs at SID 2018. BOE"s foldable prototype was a 6.2" WQHD (1440x3008, 538 PPI) panel that features a fold-radius of 1R and include a touch layer. BOE also demonstrated a foldable tablet (which they call a Phonblet, I am not sure if this term will catch), which includes a larger 7.56" foldable OLED. This panel features a resolution of 2048x1535 (338 PPI).

BOE also demonstrated ultra-thin (0.03 mm) flexible OLEDs, large 12.3" FHD (167 PPI) automotive-grade OLEDs, and its first ink-jet printed OLED and a new 0.39" FHD OLED microdisplay.

As I had hinted, Apple ended uptapping BOE Technologyfor their iPhone 13 OLED screens.BOE will initially split orders for the 6.1-inch iPhone 13 displays with Samsung Display, with the Chinese company"s share accounting for up to 20% of the total, sources said. Under the most optimistic scenario, BOE aims to grab 40% of orders for this model from the South Korean display giant, the people added.

Taiwanese and Japanese display makers have lost market share to the Chinese. Right now, the OLED space is between the South Korean players - LG and Samsung - and BOE.

With $19 billion in revenue, they are the world’s second largest OLED vendor and the biggest seller of flat panel displays. They are China"s most advanced display technologies company - the only one equipped to produce LCDs in the 6th generation category or above.

They are a serious challenger to Samsung and LG Display and might supply the next iPhone. In this video I want to take a look at BOE’s development and how they are challenging the current display incumbents.

Like HikVision, another Chinese company I have profiled, BOE was born out of the remnants of the Chinese socialist era. As a result, various local government entities such as the city-province of Beijing own shares in the company. Nine of the top ten shareholders are state-owned entities. More on that, later.

The private corporate entity now known as BOE Technology was founded in 1993 by Wang Dongshen. Wang raised 6.5 million RMB to acquire the privatized assets of the Beijing Electron Tube Factory. The state-owned factory, which employed over 2,500 people, was established in the 50s.

BOE started off far behind in the display industry, and sought foreign technology transfers to catch up. They reached out to various companies in the display industry, offering their cheap labor in a joint venture.

BOE got a good foothold in the market from this joint venture. But the display field is a competitive one, and BOE feared someone else coming in with a better thing. They sought to differentiate their offerings from the rest of the industry by breaking into and commercializing the latest in display technology.

Compared to their predecessors, TFT-LCDs are capable of delivering better contrast ratios and refresh rates. Today, they are widely used in televisions, laptops displays, monitors, and mobile phones.

The TFT-LCD product is at its heart a semiconductor like those made by TSMC and Intel. Which means being subjected to the same brutal up and down business cycles every 1.5 to 2 years that frequently overwhelm other semiconductor sectors. Building up supply capacity is extremely capital-intensive and takes years of lead time. And margins are tight - BOE makes less than 15% gross margin.

Vendors can easily swap out one display for another and thus constantly pit suppliers against each other on the basis of price and features. There always is another competitor willing to cut into your share, so accumulating scale, IP walls, and feature differentiation is crucial.

Today, the industry is extremely mature with multiple vendors all competing against each other. Many of these vendors - AUO, LG Display, Samsung Display, Innolux, and Sharp - have "big brothers" backing their P&L, making the industry kind of like a tech proxy war.

BOE"s entry and rise would add another pair of sharp elbows into the market. But before that, they needed someone to open the door and let them in first. In 2001, a lucky break came along.

Now cut off from its profit-making siblings Hyundai Motors and Hyundai Heavy Industry, Hynix needed to lose weight and pay back its debt while preserving its core semiconductor businesses. Thus Hynix progressively sold its display technologies subsidiaries to BOE to get that money.

First, the STN-LCD and OLED businesses in 2001. These were not that strategically important. STN-LCD was an older technology even then. More power-efficient and cheaper to manufacture than TFT-LCD, but with the drawback of lower image quality and slower response times. OLED screens for their part were still at the prototype stage at the time.

A year later, Hynix sold its valuable TFT-LCD display arm to BOE for $350 million. Crucially, the sale included Hynix"s comprehensive intellectual property and patents for its 4th and 5th-generation TFT-LCD technologies. Hynix had been doing TFT-LCD research in the US for years by then so this was excellent stuff.

These acquisitions, criticized at the time, would turn out to be a seminal moment in Chinese display technology history. A classic story of excellent timing. They immediately vaulted BOE into being the 13th largest company in China - up from 41st a few years earlier.

As expected, BOE absorbed Hynix"s display technologies and capacity to rapidly catch up to the market incumbents. Backed by the Beijing city government"s financial firepower, the company invested over a billion dollars to build its first cutting edge LCD factory.

But BOE still needed to build distribution networks and competence in the international market. To do so, they again opened up the checkbook and purchased a 26% stake in TPV Technology, a large Hong Kong-based monitor maker for a billion dollars.

TPV"s upstream and downstream experience helped BOE turn a rare profit in 2003. By 2006, it was China"s leading TFT-LCD maker and ninth largest in the world. As the stars of Chinese tech companies like Xiaomi and Huawei have risen, BOE as a core displays supplier has also risen alongside them.

BOE"s core business lines are in display technology. They run factories in nine cities, including their leading edge 10.5 generation TFT-LCD production lines in the cities of Beijing and Hefei, Anhui.

They are especially prolific in the OLED space, with the third most patents in OLED technologies behind Samsung Display and LG Display. The whole ranking is dominated by East Asian companies, with Kodak the only American on the list.

The company is also making moves into the IoT and health spaces. IoT items like intelligent windows and smart TVs, kind of makes sense. But medical? I know, it seems a little weird that a display company should expand into hospitals and medical research.

Considering all of this spending and the low gross margins, you might not be surprised to learn that BOE also produces a whole lot of losses. Remember when I said that nine of the top ten shareholders are state owned entities? There is a reason for that and that is 15 years of operating losses. From 2008 to 2012, BOE turned 5 consecutive years of annual losses.

In 2019, the whole company turned a negative net loss of $181 million USD before "exceptional gains and losses". The company"s core displays division - called Interface Devices on its annual report - lost $237 million USD. Its gross margin was just 13%, hardly better than your average fast food restaurant.

Even after becoming the world"s largest panel maker, the company continues to lean heavily on government subsidies. In 2019, BOE received $400 million in subsidies from various Chinese local and provincial governments. Per Chinese sources, from 2010 to 2019, they took in over $1.7 billion of subsidies - constituting over 50% of their net profit during this time.

In 2019, Wang Dongshen, BOE"s founder, stepped down from his chairmanship. He founded BOE with the assets of a hopelessly backwards vacuum-tube factory. He ended his tenure at BOE with over 60,000 employees and a company worth over 220 billion RMB or $33 billion USD.

BOE is certainly a semiconductor national champion to be proud of, but it achieved this status only through a great deal of struggle. And it seems to me that the company is trying a whole lot of things in order to grow beyond its core TFT-LCD business. They have bet a whole lot on OLED being that thing.

While BOE has provided OLED panels for some of Huawei"s flagship Mate phones, its market share still lags behind Samsung and LG Display. The same dynamics that kept BOE out of the TFT-LCD market also apply to OLEDs. This is critical as it seems inevitable that OLED will be the dominant display technology going forward.

Perhaps that will change with the rumors that BOE"s OLED screens have finally passed Apple"s quality control checks. Joining the ranks of Apple"s iPhone suppliers can help send the company forward towards getting the same type dominance in OLED panels that it now has in other display markets.

South Korea’s Samsung is the global leader in manufacturing OLED displays for smartphones, enjoying a market share of over 90% in terms of sales. However, Samsung faces rising challengers, including its compatriot LG and China’s BOE. We focus on BOE because it likely poses the biggest long-run challenge to Samsung, for two main reasons.

First, as a state-owned enterprise, BOE enjoys access to concessionary state financing, while many of its overseas competitors do not. Since OLED display manufacturing is extremely capital-intensive, the ability to secure capital is a big advantage. For example, BOE’s OLED production drive has already cost over $10 billion, most of which was borrowed from state banks. Second, BOE can better access end users of its products because Chinese smartphone brands are becoming dominant. For instance, Samsung’s share of the Chinese smartphone market has dwindled to 2% amid competition from the likes of Huawei, Oppo, and Vivo, who have also increasingly turned to BOE as their OLED display supplier.

This case study examines the Apple iPhone Xs Max (OLED display supplied by Samsung) and the Huawei Mate 20 Pro (BOE) to compare the supply chains of the South Korean incumbent and its Chinese challenger. Although both supply chains are highly concentrated in East Asia, there is a key difference. Samsung’s supply chain is almost entirely vertically integrated, while BOE still relies mostly on foreign suppliers.

Cost: Samsung’s major advantages over BOE are cost and yield. An estimate posits that for Gen 6 mobile OLED displays, a 1% improvement in annual yield rate will save $20 million annually. Although BOE has managed to improve its yield rate from as low as 10% in early 2018 to between 50% and 70% in 2019, Samsung’s yield rate is 80%. So, BOE’s costs are still higher, but it is closing the gap.

Capacity: Samsung currently controls over 90% of global manufacturing capacity for smartphone OLED displays. Although BOE is quickly catching up, the Chinese company will still have less than half of Samsung’s capacity in 2022.

Downstream Relationship: Samsung’s dominance over smartphone display manufacturing has caused many of its customers to worry about potential over-dependence on a single supplier. Thus, many device makers are now looking for alternative suppliers as a hedge. And some of them, like Huawei, are turning to BOE.
