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.

A plasma display panel (PDP) is a type of flat panel display that uses small cells containing plasma: ionized gas that responds to electric fields. Plasma televisions were the first large (over 32 inches diagonal) flat panel displays to be released to the public.

Until about 2007, plasma displays were commonly used in large televisions (30 inches (76 cm) and larger). By 2013, they had lost nearly all market share due to competition from low-cost LCDs and more expensive but high-contrast OLED flat-panel displays. Manufacturing of plasma displays for the United States retail market ended in 2014,

Plasma displays are bright (1,000 lux or higher for the display module), have a wide color gamut, and can be produced in fairly large sizes—up to 3.8 metres (150 in) diagonally. They had a very low luminance "dark-room" black level compared with the lighter grey of the unilluminated parts of an LCD screen. (As plasma panels are locally lit and do not require a back light, blacks are blacker on plasma and grayer on LCD"s.)LED-backlit LCD televisions have been developed to reduce this distinction. The display panel itself is about 6 cm (2.4 in) thick, generally allowing the device"s total thickness (including electronics) to be less than 10 cm (3.9 in). Power consumption varies greatly with picture content, with bright scenes drawing significantly more power than darker ones – this is also true for CRTs as well as modern LCDs where LED backlight brightness is adjusted dynamically. The plasma that illuminates the screen can reach a temperature of at least 1,200 °C (2,190 °F). Typical power consumption is 400 watts for a 127 cm (50 in) screen. Most screens are set to "vivid" mode by default in the factory (which maximizes the brightness and raises the contrast so the image on the screen looks good under the extremely bright lights that are common in big box stores), which draws at least twice the power (around 500–700 watts) of a "home" setting of less extreme brightness.

Plasma screens are made out of glass, which may result in glare on the screen from nearby light sources. Plasma display panels cannot be economically manufactured in screen sizes smaller than 82 centimetres (32 in).enhanced-definition televisions (EDTV) this small, even fewer have made 32 inch plasma HDTVs. With the trend toward large-screen television technology, the 32 inch screen size is rapidly disappearing. Though considered bulky and thick compared with their LCD counterparts, some sets such as Panasonic"s Z1 and Samsung"s B860 series are as slim as 2.5 cm (1 in) thick making them comparable to LCDs in this respect.

Wider viewing angles than those of LCD; images do not suffer from degradation at less than straight ahead angles like LCDs. LCDs using IPS technology have the widest angles, but they do not equal the range of plasma primarily due to "IPS glow", a generally whitish haze that appears due to the nature of the IPS pixel design.

Superior uniformity. LCD panel backlights nearly always produce uneven brightness levels, although this is not always noticeable. High-end computer monitors have technologies to try to compensate for the uniformity problem.

Uses more electrical power, on average, than an LCD TV using a LED backlight. Older CCFL backlights for LCD panels used quite a bit more power, and older plasma TVs used quite a bit more power than recent models.

Fixed-pixel displays such as plasma TVs scale the video image of each incoming signal to the native resolution of the display panel. The most common native resolutions for plasma display panels are 852×480 (EDTV), 1,366×768 and 1920×1080 (HDTV). As a result, picture quality varies depending on the performance of the video scaling processor and the upscaling and downscaling algorithms used by each display manufacturer.

Early high-definition (HD) plasma displays had a resolution of 1024x1024 and were alternate lighting of surfaces (ALiS) panels made by Fujitsu and Hitachi.

A panel of a plasma display typically comprises millions of tiny compartments in between two panels of glass. These compartments, or "bulbs" or "cells", hold a mixture of noble gases and a minuscule amount of another gas (e.g., mercury vapor). Just as in the fluorescent lamps over an office desk, when a high voltage is applied across the cell, the gas in the cells forms a plasma. With flow of electricity (electrons), some of the electrons strike mercury particles as the electrons move through the plasma, momentarily increasing the energy level of the atom until the excess energy is shed. Mercury sheds the energy as ultraviolet (UV) photons. The UV photons then strike phosphor that is painted on the inside of the cell. When the UV photon strikes a phosphor molecule, it momentarily raises the energy level of an outer orbit electron in the phosphor molecule, moving the electron from a stable to an unstable state; the electron then sheds the excess energy as a photon at a lower energy level than UV light; the lower energy photons are mostly in the infrared range but about 40% are in the visible light range. Thus the input energy is converted to mostly infrared but also as visible light. The screen heats up to between 30 and 41 °C (86 and 106 °F) during operation. Depending on the phosphors used, different colors of visible light can be achieved. Each pixel in a plasma display is made up of three cells comprising the primary colors of visible light. Varying the voltage of the signals to the cells thus allows different perceived colors.

In a monochrome plasma panel, the gas is mostly neon, and the color is the characteristic orange of a neon-filled lamp (or sign). Once a glow discharge has been initiated in a cell, it can be maintained by applying a low-level voltage between all the horizontal and vertical electrodes–even after the ionizing voltage is removed. To erase a cell all voltage is removed from a pair of electrodes. This type of panel has inherent memory. A small amount of nitrogen is added to the neon to increase hysteresis.phosphor. The ultraviolet photons emitted by the plasma excite these phosphors, which give off visible light with colors determined by the phosphor materials. This aspect is comparable to fluorescent lamps and to the neon signs that use colored phosphors.

Every pixel is made up of three separate subpixel cells, each with different colored phosphors. One subpixel has a red light phosphor, one subpixel has a green light phosphor and one subpixel has a blue light phosphor. These colors blend together to create the overall color of the pixel, the same as a triad of a shadow mask CRT or color LCD. Plasma panels use pulse-width modulation (PWM) to control brightness: by varying the pulses of current flowing through the different cells thousands of times per second, the control system can increase or decrease the intensity of each subpixel color to create billions of different combinations of red, green and blue. In this way, the control system can produce most of the visible colors. Plasma displays use the same phosphors as CRTs, which accounts for the extremely accurate color reproduction when viewing television or computer video images (which use an RGB color system designed for CRT displays).

Plasma displays are different from liquid crystal displays (LCDs), another lightweight flat-screen display using very different technology. LCDs may use one or two large fluorescent lamps as a backlight source, but the different colors are controlled by LCD units, which in effect behave as gates that allow or block light through red, green, or blue filters on the front of the LCD panel.

Each cell on a plasma display must be precharged before it is lit, otherwise the cell would not respond quickly enough. Precharging normally increases power consumption, so energy recovery mechanisms may be in place to avoid an increase in power consumption.LED illumination can automatically reduce the backlighting on darker scenes, though this method cannot be used in high-contrast scenes, leaving some light showing from black parts of an image with bright parts, such as (at the extreme) a solid black screen with one fine intense bright line. This is called a "halo" effect which has been minimized on newer LED-backlit LCDs with local dimming. Edgelit models cannot compete with this as the light is reflected via a light guide to distribute the light behind the panel.

Image burn-in occurs on CRTs and plasma panels when the same picture is displayed for long periods. This causes the phosphors to overheat, losing some of their luminosity and producing a "shadow" image that is visible with the power off. Burn-in is especially a problem on plasma panels because they run hotter than CRTs. Early plasma televisions were plagued by burn-in, making it impossible to use video games or anything else that displayed static images.

In 1983, IBM introduced a 19-inch (48 cm) orange-on-black monochrome display (Model 3290 Information Panel) which was able to show up to four simultaneous IBM 3270 terminal sessions. By the end of the decade, orange monochrome plasma displays were used in a number of high-end AC-powered portable computers, such as the Compaq Portable 386 (1987) and the IBM P75 (1990). Plasma displays had a better contrast ratio, viewability angle, and less motion blur than the LCDs that were available at the time, and were used until the introduction of active-matrix color LCD displays in 1992.

Due to heavy competition from monochrome LCDs used in laptops and the high costs of plasma display technology, in 1987 IBM planned to shut down its factory in Kingston, New York, the largest plasma plant in the world, in favor of manufacturing mainframe computers, which would have left development to Japanese companies.Larry F. Weber, a University of Illinois ECE PhD (in plasma display research) and staff scientist working at CERL (home of the PLATO System), co-founded Plasmaco with Stephen Globus and IBM plant manager James Kehoe, and bought the plant from IBM for US$50,000. Weber stayed in Urbana as CTO until 1990, then moved to upstate New York to work at Plasmaco.

In 1995, Fujitsu introduced the first 42-inch (107 cm) plasma display panel;Philips introduced the first large commercially available flat-panel TV, using the Fujitsu panels. It was available at four Sears locations in the US for $14,999, including in-home installation. Pioneer also began selling plasma televisions that year, and other manufacturers followed. By the year 2000 prices had dropped to $10,000.

In late 2006, analysts noted that LCDs had overtaken plasmas, particularly in the 40-inch (100 cm) and above segment where plasma had previously gained market share.

Until the early 2000s, plasma displays were the most popular choice for HDTV flat panel display as they had many benefits over LCDs. Beyond plasma"s deeper blacks, increased contrast, faster response time, greater color spectrum, and wider viewing angle; they were also much bigger than LCDs, and it was believed that LCDs were suited only to smaller sized televisions. However, improvements in VLSI fabrication narrowed the technological gap. The increased size, lower weight, falling prices, and often lower electrical power consumption of LCDs made them competitive with plasma television sets.

At the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Panasonic introduced their 152" 2160p 3D plasma. In 2010, Panasonic shipped 19.1 million plasma TV panels.

Panasonic was the biggest plasma display manufacturer until 2013, when it decided to discontinue plasma production. In the following months, Samsung and LG also ceased production of plasma sets. Panasonic, Samsung and LG were the last plasma manufacturers for the U.S. retail market.

AU Optronics Corp (AUO, 友達光電), the nation’s second-largest LCD panel maker, is poised to become the world’s No. 2 supplier of low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) displays in 2016 due to increased capacity resulting from the launch of the company’s new plant in China, TrendForce Corp (集邦科技) said yesterday.

The capacity boost is likely to triple AUO’s share of the high-definition display market to 16 percent in the next four years, compared with the 5.6 percent stake it held last year, and surpassing LG Display Co’s 13.3 percent share and the 10.8 percent commanded by Sharp Corp, the Taipei-based researcher said.

Japan Display Inc is forecast to remain the world’s No. 1 LTPS display supplier in 2016, with a market share of 21.6 percent compared with 41 percent last year, TrendForce said in a report.

Rising demand for high-resolution displays for smartphones is another key factor driving panel makers to boost capacity for LTPS displays, the report said.

Global LTPS display production capacity is expected to surge to 14.89 million square meters in 2016, from 6.74 million square meters last year, the researcher said.

“In 2016, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea will become the world’s major LTPS display suppliers, ending the dominance Japan has exerted over the sector in the past few years,” TrendForce analyst Boyce Fan (范博毓) forecast.

“Since most [new] products will enter the market almost simultaneously, there will likely be oversupply concerns for the next two or three years,” Fan said.

In January, AUO said it planned to invest NT$50 billion (US$1.6 billion) in the construction of a 6G plant in China to produce high-resolution displays for smartphones and tablets. The company had originally proposed setting up an 8.5G plant on the site to produce large-size TV panels.

In its report, TrendForce also said that since AUO rival Innolux Corp (群創光電), the nation’s biggest LCD panel maker, bucked the LTPS manufacturing investment trend, it could see its share of the market drop to 3 percent in 2016 from last year’s 6.6 percent.

The researcher added that Hon Hai Precision Industry Co (鴻海精密), Innolux’s major shareholder, plans to increase its LTPS display capacity in China via a panel manufacturing subsidiary in Chengdu in Sichuan Province, adding that Innolux does not operate any factories across the Taiwan Strait.
