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.

The project, in Foshan"s Nanhai District, was granted permission by the Taiwan authorities late last month, and will be both the largest TFT-LCD factory in the province as well as the largest overseas investment project in Foshan.
CMO, based in Taiwan, is one of the world"s leading TFT-LCD suppliers. Its key products are large-size TFT-LCD panels for laptops, desktop monitors, and televisions.
Total investment for the Nanhai CMO project will surpass US$2 billion. And the initial phase, which is set to begin production in late 2007, entails capital of US$30 million.
"CMO"s new overseas plant in Nanhai will strengthen our total manufacturing strategy and cost competitiveness," said Jack Lin, senior vice-president of CMO.
"Guangdong is developing the TFT-LCD industry into a key industry in the 11th Five Year Plan (2006-10) and the Nanhai CMO project is expected to make a tremendous contribution to the development of the industry in the province," noted Tong Xing, vice-governor of Guangdong.
The senior official said the province"s strategy to develop the TFT-LCD industry is based on demand generated by the sustained development of the TV and computer industries in Guangdong.
"The TV industry in the province needs to be upgraded with the latest technological developments, including TFT-LCD, to guarantee sustained development," said Tong.
Established only in 1998, Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corporation (CMO) i s one of the world"s leading manufacturers of thin-film transistor li quid crystal displays, better known as TFT-LCD flat-panel displays. T he company produces more than 4.5 million flat-panel displays per yea r, and expects to top five million panels annually before 2006. CMO o perates four LCM (liquid crystal display module) plants in Taiwan"s S outhern Taiwan Science Park (STSP). That complex was subsidized by th e Taiwanese government as part of its decision to make LCD displays o ne of the island"s key manufacturing areas. The company"s production operations include a 5.5G (generation) plant for production of 27-inc h displays and a 6.0G plant for production of 32-inch displays. In 20 05, CMO announced its intention to open an LCM plant in mainland Chin a, in part because of a labor shortage in Taiwan. The opening of that plant will help CMO reclaim the industry"s top spot from chief rival AU Optronics. In addition to TFT-LCDs, CMO has been developing its o wn organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display capacity; the company also produces color filters. Chairman and founder Hsu Wen-lung, who s uffered criticism from Beijing because of his support for Taiwan"s in dependence-minded government, stepped down from his position in 2005 as part of the company"s decision to enter the mainland. CMO is liste d on the Taiwan Stock Exchange but remains controlled by Chi Mei Grou p, a petrochemicals conglomerate established by Hsu"s father in 1950.
Few companies so closely mirrored Taiwan"s evolution in the second ha lf of the 20th century as Chi Mei Group and its publicly listed subsi diary Chi Mei Optoelectronics (CMO). Taiwan"s economy was virtually n on-existent at the end of the 1940s, as the newly established governm ent set out to convert itself from a predominantly agrarian base. The country turned toward the industrial sector, investing heavily to be gin producing low-cost, and often low-quality, consumer items. With l ow wages and a vast workforce, Taiwan quickly became a source for dis count goods the world over.
In recognition of the shifting situation, the Taiwanese government be gan encouraging the transformation of its economy toward higher-end t echnological sectors. Into the mid-1990s, the TFT-LCD market had beco ming one of the most promising of the high-tech growth markets. The d evelopment of new generations of portable telephones, the promise of digital cameras, and the increasing development of portable computers as a consumer and even household appliance, but especially the devel opment of the first generation of LCD-based televisions, encouraged t he Taiwanese government to target that sector for its new technology initiatives.
Another factor played a role in Taiwan"s development as a center for world TFT-LCD production. Liquid crystals had been discovered as earl y as 1888 by Friedrich Reinitzer, a botanist in Austria. Yet the firs t practical application of liquid crystals did not take place until t he late 1960s, when the United States" RCA launched the first display utilizing LCD technology. During the 1970s, however, the center of L CD technology shifted to Japan, and the country emerged as the global center for LCD production. The Japanese jealously guarded their tech nology, maintaining control of the market into the late 1990s.
Yet the collapse of the Japanese economy during the decade left the c ountry"s TFT-LCD manufacturers cash-strapped just at a time when the world saw a surge in demand for TFT-LCD displays. In order to ensure the continued growth in production, the Japanese manufacturers began seeking joint ventures elsewhere, in South Korea and especially Taiwa n. There, the Japanese companies found a ready list of cash-rich comp anies willing to enter TFT-LCD production.
Chi Mei decided to enter the market in 1997, setting up operations fo r the production of color filters, under Chi Mei Electronics (CME), a nd TFT-LCD displays, under Chi Mei Optoelectronics (CMO). By 1998, th e company had signed on its first technology partner, Fujitsu, which entered into an alliance with CME. This was soon followed by the grou p"s first TFT-LCD partnership, again with Fujitsu. By 1999, CMO and F ujitsu had strengthened their partnership to include an agreement to co-develop new large-screen LCD technologies. Chi Mei also began prod uction of LCD monitors, under a new subsidiary set up that year, Arch Technology Inc. By the end of that year, as well, CMO had succeeded in producing 14-inch TFT-LCD panels. This led the company to sign a n ew long-term development supply alliance with Dell Computer.
CMO took over the operations of CME in 2000 as the company geared up its vertical integration model, an important part of its strategy for its future display technologies growth. The company also was gaining expertise in large-sized panels, launching its first 18-inch display panel early the next year.
The year 2001 marked a new milestone for CMO"s development into one o f the world"s leading producers of TFT-LCD panels. In August of that year, the company agreed to take over IBM of Japan"s Yasu Industrial Complex, acquiring not only its Japanese production capacity, but esp ecially its technology. This acquisition led the company to focus on its panel display development, selling off the consumer-oriented Arch Technology.
By 2002, CMO had unveiled its first 30-inch TFT-LCD television displa y. In that year, CMO went public, the first member of the Chi Mei Gro up to do so. By then, CMO had become the motor for Chi Mei"s overall growth, serving as the group"s largest revenue generator.
The maturation of Taiwan"s LCD industry was clearly in place in the e arly 2000s. Not only had the island become the center of worldwide LC D production, boasting most of the world"s top five producers, the co untry also had emerged as a leading technological center. This develo pment was highlighted by CMO"s announcement in 2003 that it had decid ed to develop its own color-filter technology for new generation disp lay panels, becoming the first of the big six Taiwanese producers to set up its own color filter facilities.
CMO launched a new fifth-generation production facility in 2003, and began preparations to open a sixth generation and seventh generation plant at mid-decade. By 2005, the company had developed its expertise in the production of panels up to 32 inches in size. This led the co mpany to reach an agreement with Sony Corporation to sell its 3G plan t in Japan in 2004.
CMO remained the last of the major Taiwanese LCD producers to enter t he mainland Chinese market, in part because of founder and Chairman H su Wen-lung"s open support for Taiwan President Chen Shui-ban. Yet di fficulties in recruiting new workers, especially the lower wages of t he Chinese mainland, left CMO in a vulnerable position vis-à-v is its competitors.
When CMO launched plans to develop production capacity in the mainlan d, however, it found itself in the middle of the political battle bei ng waged between Beijing and Taiwan. After the Chinese government"s n ewspaper, thePeople"s Daily, branded Hsu as "a shameless anti -Chinese bigot," and further indicated that the country would not wel come "these sort of Taiwanese business people," Hsu conceded defeat a nd resigned from his post as chairman of CMO. Then in 2005, Hsu gave a speech in which he publicly stated that Taiwan and the mainland wer e part of "one" China. Soon afterward, CMO received permission to bui ld its first LCD module plant in China. The move was expected to help the company reclaim its title as industry leader, which was captured by rival AU Optronics in August of that year. From toy maker to glob al technological leader, Chi Mei, with its publicly listed subsidiary CMO, had established itself as a quintessential member of Taiwan"s i ndustrial community.
This 57-inch panel will offer a brightness of 500nits, contrast ratio of 1,800:1, dynamic contrast of 7,200:1, response time of 6.5ms and use low color shift technology to enhance color quality at large viewing angles.
LG Display Co., a major South Korean display maker, is expected to stop producing liquid-crystal display panels for TV by the end of this year at the earliest, industry sources said Monday, amid falling profitability and fierce competition from Chinese rivals.
The company said in a regulatory filing last week that it was reviewing an end of production at its LCD TV panel factory in Paju, north of Seoul, without specifying the exact date of production suspension.
The panel maker has been scaling down its loss-making LCD TV panel business, with a goal of discontinuing domestic production as early as possible. It has also said it will reduce production in China in a phased manner.
Demand was falling at an "unprecedented level" both for LCD and premium organic light-emitting diode panels, the company said during an earnings call in October, after years of pandemic-driven strong growth for personal IT devices.
Facing mounting challenges, the company has been trying to turn its business around by putting more resources in LCD panels for IT products and high-margin OLED business and expanding its high-value make-to-order business.
Kim Yang-jae, an analyst at Daol Investment & Securities, forecast OLED panels will make up for more than 60 percent of LG Display"s revenue by 2023, up from less than 40 percent in 2021.
Samsung Display, Samsung Electronics" display unit, had scaled down its LCD TV panel business since mid-2010 and completely stopped production in June.
Back in 2016, to determine if the TV panel lottery makes a significant difference, we bought three different sizes of the Samsung J6300 with panels from different manufacturers: a 50" (version DH02), a 55" (version TH01), and a 60" (version MS01). We then tested them with the same series of tests we use in all of our reviews to see if the differences were notable.
Our Samsung 50" J6300 is a DH02 version, which means the panel is made by AU Optronics. Our 55" has an original TH01 Samsung panel. The panel in our 60" was made by Sharp, and its version is MS01.
Upon testing, we found that each panel has a different contrast ratio. The 50" AUO (DH02) has the best contrast, at 4452:1, followed by the 60" Sharp (MS01) at 4015:1. The Samsung 55" panel had the lowest contrast of the three: 3707:1.
These results aren"t really surprising. All these LCD panels are VA panels, which usually means a contrast between 3000:1 and 5000:1. The Samsung panel was quite low in that range, leaving room for other panels to beat it.
The motion blur results are really interesting. The response time of the 55" TH01 Samsung panel is around double that of the Sharp and AUO panels. This is even consistent across all 12 transitions that we measured.
For our measurements, a difference in response time of 10 ms starts to be noticeable. All three are within this range, so the difference isn"t very noticeable to the naked eye, and the Samsung panel still performs better than most other TVs released around the same time.
We also got different input lag measurements on each panel. This has less to do with software, which is the same across each panel, and more to do with the different response times of the panels (as illustrated in the motion blur section). To measure input lag, we use the Leo Bodnar tool, which flashes a white square on the screen and measures the delay between the signal sent and the light sensor detecting white. Therefore, the tool"s input lag measurement includes the 0% to 100% response time of the pixel transition. If you look at the 0% to 100% transitions that we measured, you will see that the 55" takes about 10 ms longer to transition from black to white.
All three have bad viewing angles, as expected for VA panels. If you watch TV at an angle, most likely none of these TVs will satisfy you. The picture quality degrades at about 20 degrees from the side. The 60" Sharp panel is worse than the other ones though. In the video, you can see the right side degrading sooner than the other panels.
It"s unfortunate that manufacturers sometimes vary the source of their panels and that consumers don"t have a way of knowing which one they"re buying. Overall though, at least in the units we tested, the panel lottery isn"t something to worry about. While there are differences, the differences aren"t big and an original Samsung panel isn"t necessarily better than an outsourced one. It"s also fairly safe to say that the same can be said of other brands. All panels have minute variations, but most should perform within the margin of error for each model.
There has been a significant shift in the global display industry lately. Apart from new display technologies, the display world is now dominated by players in Asian countries such as China, Korea, and Japan.

Samsung’s display-making subsidiary, Samsung Display initially decided to shut down its LCD business by the end of 2020. The company was reportedly forced to reconsider after the demand for LCD panels increased in the post-pandemic (Covid-19) period. In 2021, more reports suggested that the company again decided to stop producing LCD panels, but Samsung didn’t stop making them. However, according to a report by Sammobile, Samsung Display is now finally ready to shut down its LCD production. The report also suggests that Samsung is now buying LCD panels from China.
As per the report, Samsung might be planning to shut down LCD panel production in June as it doesn’t align with Samsung Display’s long-term vision for the business. The company plans to substitute LCD panels with Quantum Dot (QD-OLED) displays as Samsung recently repurposed an obsolete LCD plant to produce OLED panels.
The company is not willing to compete in a market that’s dominated by affordable panels from Chinese and Taiwanese counterparts. The falling prices of LCD are also preventing Samsung from continuing production, the report claims.
Samsung Display’s largest buyer was the consumer electronics arm of the conglomerate, Samsung Electronics. However, the company itself is opting for affordable LCD panels from Chinese and Taiwanese suppliers. Samsung Display is expected to primarily focus on the manufacturing of Quantum Dot and OLED displays after its LCD business shuts down. The employees appointed for the LCD production are also likely to be transferred to the QD division.
The decision to close the LCD business, by Samsung Display, will be completed by June of 2022 as the company faces tough competition from its Chinese and Taiwanese counterparts, reports GizmoChina.
The company has decided to focus on manufacturing organic light-emitting diode (OLED) and quantum dot (QD) displays, as OLED panels have started to become the norm in the smartphone market.
A recent Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) revealed that the price of an LCD is 36.6 per cent of what it used to be in January 2014, the component"s peak production period.
No investment plan details have since been announced, and the employees of the LCD business are expected to be transferred to the QD business, the report said.
Samsung Display had decided to close its LCD business in late 2020, but the plans were delayed at Samsung Electronics" request due to a sudden increase in the prices of LCD panels during the Covid-19 pandemic.
