The report gives a detailed analysis of the following key players in the global TFT-LCD display panel Market, covering their competitive landscape, capacity, and latest developments like mergers, acquisitions, and investments, expansions of capacity, and plant turnarounds:
A thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal display (TFT LCD) is a variant of a liquid-crystal display that uses thin-film-transistor technologyactive matrix LCD, in contrast to passive matrix LCDs or simple, direct-driven (i.e. with segments directly connected to electronics outside the LCD) LCDs with a few segments.
In February 1957, John Wallmark of RCA filed a patent for a thin film MOSFET. Paul K. Weimer, also of RCA implemented Wallmark"s ideas and developed the thin-film transistor (TFT) in 1962, a type of MOSFET distinct from the standard bulk MOSFET. It was made with thin films of cadmium selenide and cadmium sulfide. The idea of a TFT-based liquid-crystal display (LCD) was conceived by Bernard Lechner of RCA Laboratories in 1968. In 1971, Lechner, F. J. Marlowe, E. O. Nester and J. Tults demonstrated a 2-by-18 matrix display driven by a hybrid circuit using the dynamic scattering mode of LCDs.T. Peter Brody, J. A. Asars and G. D. Dixon at Westinghouse Research Laboratories developed a CdSe (cadmium selenide) TFT, which they used to demonstrate the first CdSe thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal display (TFT LCD).active-matrix liquid-crystal display (AM LCD) using CdSe TFTs in 1974, and then Brody coined the term "active matrix" in 1975.high-resolution and high-quality electronic visual display devices use TFT-based active matrix displays.
The circuit layout process of a TFT-LCD is very similar to that of semiconductor products. However, rather than fabricating the transistors from silicon, that is formed into a crystalline silicon wafer, they are made from a thin film of amorphous silicon that is deposited on a glass panel. The silicon layer for TFT-LCDs is typically deposited using the PECVD process.
Polycrystalline silicon is sometimes used in displays requiring higher TFT performance. Examples include small high-resolution displays such as those found in projectors or viewfinders. Amorphous silicon-based TFTs are by far the most common, due to their lower production cost, whereas polycrystalline silicon TFTs are more costly and much more difficult to produce.
The twisted nematic display is one of the oldest and frequently cheapest kind of LCD display technologies available. TN displays benefit from fast pixel response times and less smearing than other LCD display technology, but suffer from poor color reproduction and limited viewing angles, especially in the vertical direction. Colors will shift, potentially to the point of completely inverting, when viewed at an angle that is not perpendicular to the display. Modern, high end consumer products have developed methods to overcome the technology"s shortcomings, such as RTC (Response Time Compensation / Overdrive) technologies. Modern TN displays can look significantly better than older TN displays from decades earlier, but overall TN has inferior viewing angles and poor color in comparison to other technology.
The transmittance of a pixel of an LCD panel typically does not change linearly with the applied voltage,sRGB standard for computer monitors requires a specific nonlinear dependence of the amount of emitted light as a function of the RGB value.
Less expensive PVA panels often use dithering and FRC, whereas super-PVA (S-PVA) panels all use at least 8 bits per color component and do not use color simulation methods.BRAVIA LCD TVs offer 10-bit and xvYCC color support, for example, the Bravia X4500 series. S-PVA also offers fast response times using modern RTC technologies.
TFT dual-transistor pixel or cell technology is a reflective-display technology for use in very-low-power-consumption applications such as electronic shelf labels (ESL), digital watches, or metering. DTP involves adding a secondary transistor gate in the single TFT cell to maintain the display of a pixel during a period of 1s without loss of image or without degrading the TFT transistors over time. By slowing the refresh rate of the standard frequency from 60 Hz to 1 Hz, DTP claims to increase the power efficiency by multiple orders of magnitude.
Due to the very high cost of building TFT factories, there are few major OEM panel vendors for large display panels. The glass panel suppliers are as follows:
External consumer display devices like a TFT LCD feature one or more analog VGA, DVI, HDMI, or DisplayPort interface, with many featuring a selection of these interfaces. Inside external display devices there is a controller board that will convert the video signal using color mapping and image scaling usually employing the discrete cosine transform (DCT) in order to convert any video source like CVBS, VGA, DVI, HDMI, etc. into digital RGB at the native resolution of the display panel. In a laptop the graphics chip will directly produce a signal suitable for connection to the built-in TFT display. A control mechanism for the backlight is usually included on the same controller board.
The low level interface of STN, DSTN, or TFT display panels use either single ended TTL 5 V signal for older displays or TTL 3.3 V for slightly newer displays that transmits the pixel clock, horizontal sync, vertical sync, digital red, digital green, digital blue in parallel. Some models (for example the AT070TN92) also feature input/display enable, horizontal scan direction and vertical scan direction signals.
New and large (>15") TFT displays often use LVDS signaling that transmits the same contents as the parallel interface (Hsync, Vsync, RGB) but will put control and RGB bits into a number of serial transmission lines synchronized to a clock whose rate is equal to the pixel rate. LVDS transmits seven bits per clock per data line, with six bits being data and one bit used to signal if the other six bits need to be inverted in order to maintain DC balance. Low-cost TFT displays often have three data lines and therefore only directly support 18 bits per pixel. Upscale displays have four or five data lines to support 24 bits per pixel (truecolor) or 30 bits per pixel respectively. Panel manufacturers are slowly replacing LVDS with Internal DisplayPort and Embedded DisplayPort, which allow sixfold reduction of the number of differential pairs.

A variation of a liquid crystal display known as a thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal display (TFT LCD) employs thin-film transistor technology to enhance visual properties including addressability and contrast.
Liquid crystal is sandwiched between two glass plates in a TFT LCD (Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display) display. A colour filter glass has a colour filter that produces colour, but a TFT glass contains as many TFTs as the number of pixels displayed.
TFT screens may also be trimmed down to fit a space-constrained enclosure for a reasonably inexpensive adder and are available in a considerably wider variety of standard sizes than AMOLED panels.
Less energy usage is important with TFT display technology, especially when dealing with larger panels, and of course, less power equals lower costs all around.
TFT is a variation of an LCD that uses thin film transistor technology to improve image quality, whereas an LCD is a class of displays that uses modulating properties of liquid crystals to form what we call an LCD (liquid crystals display), which in fact does not emit light directly. The visibility is sharper, indicating no geometric distortion, which is great for these tired, old eyes.
The Global TFT LCD Display Modules market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
The debut of Mitsubishi Electric’s three new TFT-LCD modules has been announced. Mitsubishi asserts that the display would be suited for industrial equipment in ships, construction, and agricultural gear, as well as for autos, as these applications call for huge displays with excellent performance.
FPD (Flat Panel Display), LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), and TFT (Thin Film Transistor Display) - Flat panel displays are electronic viewing technologies used to enable people to see content in a range of entertainment, consumer electronics, personal computer, and mobile devices, and many types of medical, transportation and industrial equipment. A liquid-crystal display (LCD) is a flat-panel display or other electronic visual display that uses the light-modulating properties of liquid crystals. Liquid crystals do not emit light directly. LCDs are used in a wide range of applications including computer monitors, televisions, instrument panels, aircraft cockpit displays, and indoor and outdoor signage. Small LCD screens are common in portable consumer devices such as digital cameras, watches, calculators, and mobile telephones, including smartphones. A thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal display (TFT LCD) is a variant of a liquid-crystal display (LCD) that uses thin-film transistor (TFT) technology to improve image qualities such as addressability and contrast. TFT LCDs are used in appliances including television sets, computer monitors, mobile phones, handheld video game systems, personal digital assistants, navigation systems and projectors. TFT LCDs are also used in car instrument clusters because they allow the driver to customize the cluster, as well as being able to provide an analogue-like display with digital elements. The production of these panels utilize a variety of materials for testing, and handling including LCD Lift Pins made from Celazole® PBI, and Vespel® PI.
A TFT LCD, or a thin film transistor liquid crystal display, is one of the fastest growing forms of display technology today. The thin film transistor (TFT) is a type of semiconductor device used in display technology to enhance efficiency, compactness, and cost of the product. In conjunction with its semiconductor properties, the TFT LCD is an active matrix display, controlling pixels individually and actively rather than passively, furthering the benefits of this semiconductor device.
The TFT LCD is built with three key layers. Two sandwiching layers consist of glass substrates, though one includes TFTs while the other has an RGB, or red green blue, color filter. The layer between the glass layers is a liquid crystal layer.
The Architecture of a TFT Pixelbelow) from the other substrate layer of the device and control the amount of voltage applied to their respective sub-pixels. This layer also has pixel electrodes between the substrate and the liquid crystal layer. Electrodes are conductors that channel electricity into or out of something, in this case, pixels.
The outer sides of the glass substrates (closest to the surface or closest to the back) have filter layers called polarizers. These filters allow only certain beams of light to pass through if they are polarized in a specific manner, meaning that the geometric waves of the light are appropriate for the filter. If not polarized correctly, the light does not pass through the polarizer which creates an opaque LCD screen.
The twisted nematic effect is one of the cheapest options for LCD technology, and it also allows for fast pixel response time. There are still some limits, though; color reproduction quality may not be great, and viewing angles, or the direction at which the screen is looked at, are more limited.
The light that passes through the device is sourced from the backlight which can shine light from the back or the side of the display. Because the LCD does not produce its own light, it needs to use the backlight in the OLED) have come into use as well. Typically white, this light, if polarized correctly, will pass through the RGB color filter of the surface substrate layer, displaying the color signaled for by the TFT device.
Within an LCD, each pixel can be characterized by its three sub-pixels. These three sub-pixels create the RGB colorization of that overall pixel. These sub-pixels act as capacitors, or electrical storage units within a device, each with their own independent structural and functional layers as described earlier. With the three sub-pixels per pixel, colors of almost any kind can be mixed from the light passing through the filters and polarizer at different brightness based on the liquid crystal alignment.
A liquid crystal display (LCD) has liquid crystal material sandwiched between two sheets of glass. Without any voltage applied between transparent electrodes, liquid crystal molecules are aligned in parallel with the glass surface. When voltage is applied, they change their direction and they turn vertical to the glass surface. They vary in optical characteristics, depending on their orientation. Therefore, the quantity of light transmission can be controlled by combining the motion of liquid crystal molecules and the direction of polarization of two polarizing plates attached to the both outer sides of the glass sheets. LCDs utilize these characteristics to display images.
An LCD consists of many pixels. A pixel consists of three sub-pixels (Red/Green/Blue, RGB). In the case of Full-HD resolution, which is widely used for smartphones, there are more than six million (1,080 x 1,920 x 3 = 6,220,800) sub-pixels. To activate these millions of sub-pixels a TFT is required in each sub-pixel. TFT is an abbreviation for "Thin Film Transistor". A TFT is a kind of semiconductor device. It serves as a control valve to provide an appropriate voltage onto liquid crystals for individual sub-pixels. A TFT LCD has a liquid crystal layer between a glass substrate formed with TFTs and transparent pixel electrodes and another glass substrate with a color filter (RGB) and transparent counter electrodes. In addition, polarizers are placed on the outer side of each glass substrate and a backlight source on the back side. A change in voltage applied to liquid crystals changes the transmittance of the panel including the two polarizing plates, and thus changes the quantity of light that passes from the backlight to the front surface of the display. This principle allows the TFT LCD to produce full-color images.
In LCD the light transit through two polarizers, which are arranged perpendicular, then through the liquid crystal layer. The layer can block the transition of the light or change polarization. Finally, the light falls on the color filters, which give it a set colorcreating the image.
The LCD TFT screens are built of thin-film transistors. The transistor is produced by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), based on the use of liquid hydrogen mixture and silicon mixture in an organic solvent, and using the rotation application method of the thin semiconductor.
In the TFT matrix, each pixel is controlled by four transistors, whereone of them is responsible for brightness, and three remain for basic color (red, blue, green). As a result, this solution allows the high resolution, better color and generally higher parameters of displayed images – comparing to common LCD matrix.
Because of the material the TFT is built from, which isglass, TFT displays havelow mechanical toughness,so can be easily damaged. The most popular damage of TFT is:
The majority of damage occurs during the assembly process in the end user devices. Too much pressure on the fragile TFT construction can damage the structure of the liquid crystal or electric lines.
The module can be held strictly by the housing, and the unnecessary thrust on display should be avoided. The disassembling of the display housing is not recommended, because this process is very destructive and in most cases, it will leave you with a damaged TFT .
LG.Philips LCD began production of seventh-generation TFT LCDs (thin-film transistor liquid crystal displays) at its facility in Paju (Korea) at the beginning of 2006. The ramp up was over six months earlier than previously planned, prompted by increasing demand for LCD TVs and PCs. The expansion made it the world’s largest LCD production facility. Philips made a pilot production run at the end of November 2005, and has started production of 42in panels from its 1,950mm x 2,250mm glass substrates.
The company is investing $10 billion and expects annual sales close to $3 billion, more than 90% of which will be from exports. The 1,650,000m² complex takes the LG.Philips LCD industrial cluster to 3,300,000m², housing next-generation LCD production and R&D facilities. Preparatory work was completed by March 2004.
The fab is located in Paju, Kyonggi Province, north of Seoul. LG.Philips LCD and the Kyonggi provincial government has provided infrastructure including industrial water systems, electricity utilities and roads. The investment has created around 5,000 new jobs.
TFT LCDs have three layers. A glass plate substrate with TFT transistors is at the bottom, a glass plate colour filter on top and the liquid crystal is injected between the two. Although LCDs are fluid, they show long-range order like solids. The molecules are roughly bar shaped but with anisotropic values of reflective index, dielectric constant, conductivity and viscosity: all have different values along different axes.
The transistors apply voltages to the liquid crystals to control the vibration direction of polarized light passing through them. This affects the light permeability of the individual LCD pixels to form images.
TFT-LCD screens are flatter and lighter than CRTs, consume less power and generate lower electromagnetic emissions. Besides going into TV sets for the home, TFT LCDs will be used in monitors for mini notebook PCs and hand-held computers, medical equipment, car navigation and entertainment systems and avionics instrumentation.
Philips has been improving the technical limitations of TFT-LCDs, particularly angle, brightness response time. The company now has 20.1in UXGA, 23in WUXGA and 30in WQXGA+ TFT-LCD panels for large-scale, wide monitor-specific TFT-LCDs for desktop monitors.
LG.Philips LCD is a 50:50 joint venture between LG Electronics and Philips Electronics. The company produces TFT-LCDs for notebook PCs, desktop monitors, LCD TVs and special applications including car navigation systems, avionics, miniature notebook PCs, hand-held PCs and medical diagnostic machines. Higher value 18in-and-above screens make up more than 20% of LG.Philips LCD’s total TV LCD production.
The company has also invested a total of 3.3 trillion won (just under $2 billion) to build a new sixth-generation TFT-LCD plant in Gumi, south of Seoul. In addition to its Korean facilities, where the core panels are made, LG.Philips LCD has expanded its Nanjing, China, fifth-generation module plant, where it has produced more than one million TFT-LCDs for desktop monitors (module yield is more than 99%). In Nanjing, panels are equipped with other components before being sold to monitor and TV set manufacturers.
BOE Technology Group Co Ltd. declared inking framework agreement with Hefei government and Heifei Construction Investment Holding Group Company, investing in building local TFT-LCD production line to make 90,000 LCD display modules per month with a total investment of CNY 40 billion. Both sides will set up project company in Hefei with registered capital of CNY 22 billion, including CNY 4 billion independently financed by the listed company and CNY 18 billion from local parties. The difference between total investment and project capital base will be made up by syndicated loans.
