lcd panel market share 2016 supplier

BOE was the leading LCD TV panel vendor during the first half of 2020, having shipped approximately 23.26 million units worldwide. In that period, global shipments of LCD TV panels totaled over 115 million units.

BOE Technology, founded in 1993, has become China’s largest TV panel maker and it continues to make a name for itself in the global consumer electronics market. It was the first company to introduce a gen 10.5 LCD plant in late 2017. Since then, BOE’s LCD panel production capacity has grown annually, surpassing former leading manufacturer LG Display. In recent years, BOE accounted for over 20 percent of large-area TFT LCD display unit shipments worldwide.

Chinese panel makers accelerate worldwide LCD TV panel shipmentsChina became the leading LCD panel producer worldwide in 2017, overtaking powerhouses South Korea and Taiwan. Chinese shipments of LCD TV panels 60-inch and larger have also increased significantly in recent years, with roughly 2.24 million units sold in the first quarter of 2019 worldwide, in comparison to just 117,000 units a year before. This figure is forecast to increase in the future, paving the way for Chinese panel makers’ worldwide success. At the same time, the concurrent specialization on large LCD panels by Chinese and South Korean suppliers will likely push down panel prices.Read moreGlobal LCD TV panel unit shipments from H1 2016 to H1 2020, by vendor(in millions)tablecolumn chartCharacteristicBOELGDInnoluxCSOTSDCAUOCEC GroupOthers1H 202023.2611.7920.3421.312.1310.14-16.17

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.

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.

TFT or thin-film transistor is combined with LCD to improve colour quality leading to a sharper image, as each pixel on a TFT-LCD is attached to a transistor. Due to the small sizes of each transistor, TFT-LCD display panels consume less power. They are widely used in computers, TVs, laptops, and mobile phones as it gives a more enhanced image than older technologies and prevents the distortion of image.

With the growing applications of TFT-LCD, there has been an increased competition among the manufacturers for the best cutting technology, i.e. ‘generations’, to produce TFT-LCD panels. In 2017, BOE, one of the major TFT-LCD manufacturers globally, put the world’s highest generation line, Generation 10.5 TFT-LCD production line, into production ahead of schedule in Hefei, China. With more Gen 10.5 facilities starting mass production, the market is primed for the production of 65 inches and larger TFT-LCD panels. More than 85.5% of the TFT-LCD display panels consumed in 2018 were large-sized panels sized over 10 inches.

Driven by the demand for TFT-LCD display panels in TV and monitor panels, the global shipment of large TFT-LCD panels grew again in 2018, despite over-supply concerns. The market is also driven by a rising demand for automotive displays. While automotive display systems were earlier reserved for luxury vehicles, cars for the mass-market are increasingly including high resolution display systems in their design due to a decline in prices along with the rising production and demand for automobiles. This growth in automotive displays has been supported by the rising investments in automotive display panels by big display panel manufacturers in Asia. The Asia Pacific countries like China and India are the fastest growing markets in the region due to rapid economic growth and a growing demand for consumer-based electronics. Currently, the global market for TFT-LCD display panel is dominated by North America.

Region-wise, the global market for TFT-LCD display panel can be divided into North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa.

LG Display and Samsung Display are struggling to find their ways out of the deterioration of their performance even after withdrawing from production of liquid crystal display (LCD) panels. The high-priced organic light emitting diode (OLED) panel sector regarded as a future growth engine is not growing fast due to the economic downturn. Even in the OLED panel sector, Chinese display makers are within striking distance of Korean display makers, experts say.

On Aug. 30, Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC), a market research company, predicted that LCD TV panel prices hit an all-time low in August and that an L-shaped recession will continue in the fourth quarter. According to DSCC, the average price of a 65-inch ultra-high-definition (UHD) panel in August was only US$109, a 62 percent drop from the highest price of US$288 recorded in July in 2021. The average price of a 75-inch UHD panel was only US$218, which was only about half of the highest price of US$410 in July last year. DSCC predicted that the average panel price in the third quarter will fall by 15.7 percent. As Chinese companies’ price war and the effect of stagnation in consumption overlapped, the more LCD panels display makers produce, the more loss they suffer.

As panel prices fell, manufacturers responded by lowering facility utilization rates. DSCC said that the LCD factory utilization rate descended from 87 percent in April to 83 percent in May, 73 percent in June, and 70 percent in July.

Now that the LCD panel business has become no longer lucrative, Korean display makers have shut down their LCD business or shrunk their sizes. In the LCD sector, China has outpaced Korea since 2018. China’s LCD market share reached 50.9 percent in 2021, while that of Korea dropped to 14.4 percent, lower than Taiwan’s 31.6 percent.

Samsung Display already announced its withdrawal from the LCD business in June. Only 10 years have passed since the company was spun off from Samsung Electronics in 2012. LG Display has decided to halt domestic LCD TV panel production until 2023 and reorganize its business structure centering on OLED panels. Its Chinese LCD production line will be gradually converted to produce LCD panels for IT or commercial products. TrendForce predicted that LG Display will stop operating its P7 Plant in the first quarter of next year.

Korean display makers’ waning LCD business led to a situation in which Korea even lost first place in the display industry. Korea with a display market share of 33.2 percent was already overtaken by China with 41.5 percent) in 2021 according to market researcher Omdia and the Korea Display Industry Association. Korea’s market share has never rebounded in for five years since 2017 amid the Korean government’s neglect. Seventeen years have passed since 2004 when Korea overtook Japan to rise to the top of the world in the LCD industry. Korea’s LCD exports amounted to more than US$30 billion in 2014, but fell to US$21.4 billion last year.

A bigger problem is that Korean display makers may lose its leadership in the OLED panel sector although it is still standing at the top spot. While Korea’s OLED market share fell from 98.1 percent in 2016 to 82.8 percent last year, that of China rose from 1.1 percent to 16.6 percent. Considering that the high-end TV market is highly likely to shrink for the time being due to a full-fledged global consumption contraction, some analysts say that the technology gap between Korea and China can be sharply narrowed through this looming TV market slump. According to industry sources, the Chinese government is now focusing on giving subsidies to the development of OLED panel technology rather LCD technology. On the other hand, in Korea, displays were also wiped out from national strategic technology industry items under the Restriction of Special Taxation Act which can receive tax benefits for R&D activities on displays.

In both LCD and OLED displays, producing these cells – which are highly complex – is by far the most difficult element of the production process. Indeed, the complexity of these cells, combined with the levels of investment needed to achieve expertise in their production, explains why there are less than 30 companies in the whole world that can produce them. China, for instance, has invested more than 300 billion yuan (approximately $45 billion USD) in just one of these companies – BOE – over the past 14 years.

Panox Display has been involved in the display industry for many years and has built strong and long-term partner relationships with many of the biggest OLED and LCD panel manufacturers. As a result, we are able to offer our clients guaranteed access to display products from the biggest manufacturers.

LG Display was, until 2021, the No. 1 display panel manufacturer in the world. Owned by LG Group and headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, it has R&D, production, and trade institutions in China, Japan, South Korea, the United States, and Europe.

Founded in 2001, AUO – or AU Optronics – is the world’s leading TFT-LCD panel manufacturer (with a 16% market share) that designs, develops, and manufactures the world’s top three liquid crystal displays. With panels ranging from as small as 1.5 inches to 46 inches, it boasts one of the world"s few large-, medium -and small-sized product lines.
