lcd panel manufacturers market share factory

The upstream materials or components of the LCD panel industry mainly include liquid crystal materials, glass substrates, polarizing lenses, and backlight LEDs (or CCFL, which accounts for less than 5% of the market).

The middle reaches is the main panel factory processing and manufacturing, through the glass substrate TFT arrays and CF substrate, CF as upper and TFT self-built perfusion liquid crystal and the lower joint, and then put a polaroid, connection driver IC and control circuit board, and a backlight module assembling, eventually forming the whole piece of LCD module. The downstream is a variety of fields of application terminal-based brand, assembly manufacturers. At present, the United States, Japan, and Germany mainly focus on upstream raw materials, while South Korea, Taiwan, and the mainland mainly seek development in mid-stream panel manufacturing.

With the successive production of the high generation line in mainland China, the panel production capacity and technology level have been steadily improved, and the industrial competitiveness has been gradually enhanced. Nowadays, the panel industry is divided into three parts: South Korea, mainland China, and Taiwan, and mainland China is expected to become the no.1 in the world in 2019.

In the past decade, China’s panel display industryhas achieved leapfrog development, and the overall size of the industry has ranked among the top three in the world. Chinese mainland panel production capacity is expanding rapidly, although Japanese panel manufacturers master a large number of key technologies, gradually lose the price competitive advantage, compression panel production capacity. Panel production is concentrated in South Korea, Taiwan, and China, which is poised to become the world’s largest producer of LCD panels.

Up to 2016, BOE‘s global market share continued to increase: smartphone LCD, tablet PC display, and laptop display accounted for the world’s first market share, and display screen increased to the world’s second, while TV LCD remained the world’s third. In LCD TV panels, Chinese panel makers have accounted for 30 percent of global shipments to 77 million units, surpassing Taiwan’s 25.5 percent market share for the first time and ranking second only to South Korea.

In terms of the area of shipment, the area of board shipment of JD accounted for only 8.3% in 2015, which has been greatly increased to 13.6% in the first half of 2016, while the area of shipment of hu xing optoelectronics in the first half of 2015 was only 5.1%, which has reached 7.8% in the first half of 2016. The panel factories in mainland China are expanding their capacity at an average rate of double-digit growth and transforming it into actual shipments and areas of shipment. On the other hand, although the market share of South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan is gradually decreasing, some South Korean and Japanese manufacturers have been inclined to the large-size HD panel and AMOLED market, and the production capacity of the high-end LCD panel is further concentrated in mainland China.

Domestic LCD panel production line capacity gradually released, overlay the decline in global economic growth, lead to panel makers from 15 in the second half began, in a low profit or loss, especially small and medium-sized production line, the South Korean manufacturers take the lead in transformation strategy, closed in medium and small size panel production line, South Korea’s 19-panel production line has shut down nine, and part of the production line is to research and development purposes. Some production lines are converted to LTPS production lines through process conversion. Korean manufacturers are turning to OLED panels in a comprehensive way, while Japanese manufacturers are basically giving up the LCD panel manufacturing business and turning to the core equipment and materials side. In addition to the technical direction of the research and judgment, more is the LCD panel business orders and profits have been severely compressed, Korean and Japanese manufacturers have no desire to fight. Since many OLED technologies are still in their infancy in mainland China, it is a priority to move to high-end panels such as OLED as soon as possible. Taiwanese manufacturers have not shut down factories on a large scale, but their advantages in LCD technology and OLED technology have been slowly eroded by the mainland.

August 2, according to the Taiwan media “Economic Daily News” reported that the latest report of the research agency RUNTO (RUNTO) shows that the first half of 2022 Chinese mainland panel manufacturers to 84 million shipments as well as 67% market share claimed the title, a record high. Taiwan panel makers Guntron, AUO shipments have declined, a combined market share of 18%, slightly better than Japan and South Korea’s combined 15%. Market expectations, with the mainland domination of the LCD panel market, the next three years, the panel factory is afraid of a merger tide.

According to the “Global LCD TV panel market monthly tracking” released by LOTUS, the first half of this year, the world shipped 125 million LCD TV panels above 32 inches, an increase of 1.9% year-on-year, with mainland manufacturers BOE, Huaxing Optoelectronics and Huike firmly in the top three.

To strengthen the core position of the industry chain, the Chinese mainland TV panel factory to maintain a high crop rate, shipments in the first half of 84 million pieces, the global market share of 67%, an increase of 6.2 percentage points, compared with the second half of last year, an increase of 3.4 percentage points.

The top ten panel manufacturers in the analysis of the Luotu technology, land-based panel factory shipments are showing year-on-year growth, Huaxing photoelectric, rainbow photoelectric shipments were up 12% and 16%. Most of the non-China panel factory decline, Taiwan panel factory Grouptron decline by about 10%, AUO reduced by 14%, the two combined market share of 18% in the first half.

Samsung Display (SDC) began to gradually reduce production at the beginning of the year to a complete shutdown in June, resulting in a year-on-year reduction of 50%. Sharp because of the active adjustment of production capacity, production decreased by 28% year-on-year, Japan and South Korea panel factories in the first half of the combined market share fell to a low of 15%.

Accordingly, the top ten panel makers are divided into four camps, with BOE, which shipped more than 30 million pieces in the first half of the year, firmly taking the lead in the large-size LCD panel industry. Next, 20 million pieces of Huaxing photoelectric, Huike. 10 million pieces of camp for the grouptron and Lejin display (LGD). Million-chip rank AUO and Sharp, with 8 million and 6 million pieces shipped, fell to the tail camp with Rainbow Photoelectric, CEC Panda and Samsung Display SDC.

Looking ahead to the second half of the year, Luotu Technology expects that, as the TV panel each main size has fallen below the cash cost, the panel factory strives to stop bleeding, start large-scale production reduction operations, the panel market is expected to usher in a turnaround. It is expected that before September this year, the major panel factory crop rate will be less than 75%, as to whether the price can stabilize the key observation point also falls in September.

Flat-panel displays are thin panels of glass or plastic used for electronically displaying text, images, or video. Liquid crystal displays (LCD), OLED (organic light emitting diode) and microLED displays are not quite the same; since LCD uses a liquid crystal that reacts to an electric current blocking light or allowing it to pass through the panel, whereas OLED/microLED displays consist of electroluminescent organic/inorganic materials that generate light when a current is passed through the material. LCD, OLED and microLED displays are driven using LTPS, IGZO, LTPO, and A-Si TFT transistor technologies as their backplane using ITO to supply current to the transistors and in turn to the liquid crystal or electroluminescent material. Segment and passive OLED and LCD displays do not use a backplane but use indium tin oxide (ITO), a transparent conductive material, to pass current to the electroluminescent material or liquid crystal. In LCDs, there is an even layer of liquid crystal throughout the panel whereas an OLED display has the electroluminescent material only where it is meant to light up. OLEDs, LCDs and microLEDs can be made flexible and transparent, but LCDs require a backlight because they cannot emit light on their own like OLEDs and microLEDs.

Liquid-crystal display (or LCD) is a thin, flat panel used for electronically displaying information such as text, images, and moving pictures. They are usually made of glass but they can also be made out of plastic. Some manufacturers make transparent LCD panels and special sequential color segment LCDs that have higher than usual refresh rates and an RGB backlight. The backlight is synchronized with the display so that the colors will show up as needed. The list of LCD manufacturers:

Organic light emitting diode (or OLED displays) is a thin, flat panel made of glass or plastic used for electronically displaying information such as text, images, and moving pictures. OLED panels can also take the shape of a light panel, where red, green and blue light emitting materials are stacked to create a white light panel. OLED displays can also be made transparent and/or flexible and these transparent panels are available on the market and are widely used in smartphones with under-display optical fingerprint sensors. LCD and OLED displays are available in different shapes, the most prominent of which is a circular display, which is used in smartwatches. The list of OLED display manufacturers:

MicroLED displays is an emerging flat-panel display technology consisting of arrays of microscopic LEDs forming the individual pixel elements. Like OLED, microLED offers infinite contrast ratio, but unlike OLED, microLED is immune to screen burn-in, and consumes less power while having higher light output, as it uses LEDs instead of organic electroluminescent materials, The list of MicroLED display manufacturers:

LCDs are made in a glass substrate. For OLED, the substrate can also be plastic. The size of the substrates are specified in generations, with each generation using a larger substrate. For example, a 4th generation substrate is larger in size than a 3rd generation substrate. A larger substrate allows for more panels to be cut from a single substrate, or for larger panels to be made, akin to increasing wafer sizes in the semiconductor industry.

LCDs find application in a wide range of devices such as smartphones, notebooks, televisions, curved TVs, tablets, digital signage and offer various other benefits with regard to performance and lightweight properties. These displays have higher resolution and more portable than traditional televisions and monitors ; they can produce high-quality digital images.

Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak in early 2020, the flat-panel display (FPD) market was gloomy. Oversupply, falling prices and losses were the common themes in the market.

It’s been a different story during the outbreak. In 2020, the FPD market rebounded. In the stay-at-home economy, consumers went on a buying spree for monitors, PCs, tablets and TVs. As a result, demand for displays exploded. And shortages soon surfaced for display driver ICs and other components.

2021 is expected to be another boom year, but the party may be over in 2022. The global flat panel display market is expected to jump 28% in 2021 to reach a record high of $ 151 billion. A performance drawn more by old LCD screens (liquid crystal display) than Oled screens.

In 2019 State-backed Chinese manufacturer BOE Technology Group has outstripped South Korea’s LG Display as the top maker of flat-panel displays this year, marking China’s growing dominance in the field. In 2021, another Chinese, CSOT, will climb to second place according to DSCC, and in 2024, a third Chinese, HKC, will climb to the third step of the podium.

Increasing use of flat panel display in healthcare industry is creating opportunities for manufacturers as the demand for high-pixel density display for diagnostic in healthcare is increasing. The demand is increasing for new surgical platforms that consists of ultra-high level of brightness to avoid glare and reflection in high light environment so there are opportunities for manufacturers to develop these platforms.

– Screen coating to protect the screen against scratches, touch, reflection, … this coating is applied to the substrate in liquid form and then cured in large oven. One problem with preferred coating compositions is that the temperature can not be tolerated by the glass substrate of the screen panel. For example one protective coating composition cures at about 800°C and the maximum temperature the glass substrate can withstand is about 550°C before it brings thermal damage. To compensate, the protective coating is “cured” in an oven set at a temperature lower than specified but for an extremely long period of time.

As the display mother glass area gets bigger and bigger,so does the equipment used in the display manufacturing process and the volume of gases required. In addition, the consumer’s desire for a better viewing experience such as more vivid color, higher resolution, and lower power consumption has also driven display manufacturers to develop and commercialize active matrix organic light emitting displays (AMOLED).

In general, there are two types of displays in the market today: active matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD) and AMOLED. In its simplicity, the fundamental components required to make up the display are the same for AMLCD and AMOLED. There are four layers of a display device (FIGURE 1): a light source, switches that are the thin-film-transistor and where the gases are mainly used, a shutter to control the color selection, and the RGB (red, green, blue) color filter.

Technology trends TFT-LCD (thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal display) is the baseline technology. MO / White OLED (organic light emitting diode) is used for larger screens. LTPS / AMOLED is used for small / medium screens. The challenges for OLED are the effect of < 1 micron particles on yield, much higher cost compared to a-Si due to increased mask steps, and moisture impact to yield for the OLED step.

Although AMLCD displays are still dominant in the market today, AMOLED displays are growing quickly. Currently about 25% of smartphones are made with AMOLED displays and this is expected to grow to ~40% by 2021. OLED televisions are also growing rapidly, enjoying double digit growth rate year over year. Based on IHS data, the revenue for display panels with AMOLED technol- ogies is expected to have a CAGR of 18.9% in the next five years while the AMLCD display revenue will have a -2.8% CAGR for the same period with the total display panel revenue CAGR of 2.5%. With the rapid growth of AMOLED display panels, the panel makers have accel- erated their investment in the equipment to produce AMOLED panels.

There are three types of thin-film-transistor devices for display: amorphous silicon (a-Si), low temperature polysilicon (LTPS), and metal oxide (MO), also known as transparent amorphous oxide semiconductor (TAOS). AMLCD panels typically use a-Si for lower-resolution displays and TVs while high-resolution displays use LTPS transistors, but this use is mainly limited to small and medium displays due to its higher costs and scalability limitations. AMOLED panels use LTPS and MO transistors where MO devices are typically used for TV and large displays (FIGURE 3).

This shift in technology also requires a change in the gases used in production of AMOLED panels as compared with the AMLCD panels. As shown in FIGURE 4, display manufacturing today uses a wide variety of gases.

Nitrogen trifluoride: NF3 is the single largest electronic material from spend and volume standpoint for a-Si and LTPS display production while being surpassed by N2O for MO production. NF3 is used for cleaning the PECVD chambers. This gas requires scalability to get the cost advantage necessary for the highly competitive market.

Helium: H2 is used for cooling the glass during and after processing. Manufacturers are looking at ways to decrease the usage of helium because of cost and availability issues due it being a non-renewable gas.

To facilitate these increasing demands, display manufacturers must partner with gas suppliers to identify which can meet their technology needs, globally source electronic materials to provide customers with stable and cost- effective gas solutions, develop local sources of electronic materials, improve productivity, reduce carbon footprint, and increase energy efficiency through on-site gas plants. This is particularly true for the burgeoning China display manufacturing market, which will benefit from investing in on-site bulk gas plants and collaboration with global materials suppliers with local production facilities for high-purity gas and chemical manufacturing.

Panel manufacturers in the Chinese mainland ranked first with 84 million shipments and a 67% global market share a record high in the first half of 2022, according to the latest report of research agency RUNTO Technology.

The panel makers Innolux and AUO saw their shipments decline, with a combined market share of 18%, slightly higher than Japan and South Korea’s combined total of 15%, said RUNTO as reported by the Taiwan region"s Economic Daily. The market expects that panel makers are likely to set off a wave of mergers in the next three years.

The RUNTO’s “Monthly Tracker of the Global LCD TV Panel Market” said that in the first half of this year, the global shipments of LCD TV panels larger than 32 inches was 125 million, with manufacturers BOE(京东方), TCL CSOT(华星光电), and HKC(惠科) from the Chinese mainland in the top three positions.

The report gave four categories of the top ten manufacturers based on their shipments, where BOE ranks the first with more than 30 million shipments, TCL CSOT and HKC with more than 20 million shipments, Innolux and LG Display (LGD) with ten million shipments, and AUO(8 million), Sharp(6 million), and other three with less than 10 million shipments.

The report expects that before September this year, the utilization rate of major panel factories will be lower than 75% because main sizes of TV panels have fallen below the cash cost, and panel factories have started mass production cuts.

The global semiconductor market size was USD 527.88 billion in 2021. The market is projected to grow from USD 573.44 billion in 2022 to USD 1,380.79 billion in 2029, exhibiting a CAGR of 12.2% during the forecast period. The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with semiconductors experiencing a positive demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. Based on our analysis, the global semiconductor market exhibited a rise of 6.8% in 2020 compared to 2019.

The growth of this market is attributed to the increasing consumption of consumer electronics devices across the globe. Additionally, the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and machine learning (ML) technologies is providing new opportunities for market development. These technologies aid memory chips in processing large amounts of data in less time. Moreover, the increasing demand for faster and advanced memory chips in industrial applications will drive market growth over the forecast timeline.

The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan, China, which is also known as the “motor city,” has severely impacted automotive production in Asia, as it is the home to auto plants of General Motors, Honda, Nissan, Peugeot Group (PSA), Renault, and Toyota. The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has estimated a 2% reduction in the export of automotive parts from China to other automotive manufacturers in the European Union (EU). Similarly, the U.S., South Korea, Japan, and many more could lead to automotive export reduction worth USD 7 billion from these economies to the rest of the world.

However, the rising need to work from home has drastically surged networking & communication, and data processing applications worldwide will lead to the moderate growth of the market for semiconductors in the long term.
