WASHINGTON – A Thin-Film Transistor-Liquid Crystal Display (TFT-LCD) producer and seller has agreed to plead guilty and pay $220 million in criminal fines for its role in a conspiracy to fix prices in the sale of liquid crystal display panels, the Department of Justice announced today.

According to a one-count felony charge filed today in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, Chi Mei Optoelectronics participated in a conspiracy to fix the prices of TFT-LCD panels sold worldwide from Sept. 14, 2001, to Dec. 1, 2006. According to the plea agreement, which is subject to court approval, Chi Mei has agreed to cooperate with the department’s ongoing antitrust investigation.

TFT-LCD panels are used in computer monitors and notebooks, televisions, mobile phones and other electronic devices. By the end of the conspiracy period, the worldwide market for TFT-LCD panels was valued at $70 billion. Companies directly affected by the LCD price-fixing conspiracy are some of the largest computer and television manufacturers in the world, including Apple, Dell and HP.

According to the charge, Chi Mei carried out the conspiracy by agreeing during meetings, conversations and communications to charge prices of TFT-LCD panels at certain pre-determined levels and issuing price quotations in accordance with the agreements reached. As a part of the conspiracy, Chi Mei exchanged information on sales of TFT-LCD panels for the purpose of monitoring and enforcing adherence to the agreed-upon prices.

Chi Mei, which is based in Tainan, Taiwan, is charged with price fixing in violation of the Sherman Act. Each violation carries a maximum fine of $100 million for corporations. The maximum fine may be increased to twice the gain derived from the crime or twice the loss suffered by the victims of the crime, if either of those amounts is greater than the statutory maximum fine.

Anyone with information concerning illegal conduct in the TFT-LCD industry is urged to call the Antitrust Division’s San Francisco Field Office at 415-436-6660.

SEOUL, Oct 30 (Reuters) - South Korea’s antitrust regulator said on Sunday it had fined 10 Korean and Taiwanese thin-film transistor (TFT)-liquid crystal display (LCD) makers, including Samsung Electronics Co Ltd of South Korea and AU Optronics Corp of Taiwan, a total of 194 billion won ($176 million) for fixing product prices.

The Fair Trade Commission (FTC) said other major LCD makers involved in its ruling were South Korea’s LG Display Co and Taiwan’s Chimei Innolux Corp. The total fines, it said, were the largest sum ever imposed in an international cartel allegation case in South Korea.

“The makers, which command a combined share of more than 80 percent of the global LCD market..., harmed domestic consumers’ interests by taking part in the price-fixing plot and raising LCD panel prices,” the FTC said in a statement.

The commission said it had investigated the matter for five years to arrive at its ruling, which followed decisions in the United States and European Union, a reference to previous rulings against South Korean flat panel makers.

The FTC accused the companies of holding regular meetings in Taiwan between September 2001 and December 2006 in order to collude not only in adjusting production volume and supply, but also in fixing prices of the flat panel products used mainly in desktop and notebook computers and televisions.

Samsung Electronics, along with its Taiwanese and Japanese subsidiaries, were fined the largest sum of 97.29 billion won, while its home rival LG Display and its subsidiaries also in Taiwan and Japan followed with 65.52 billion won.

But media reported that LG Display, the No. 2 LCD maker, said it was preparing to take the case to the Seoul High Court. It branded the FTC ruling “unfair” as the five-year deadline for the regulator to fine the company expired in July. ($=1,104 Korean won)

A long-running price-fixing probe into the LCD panel business has netted its ninth indictment against a Taiwanese executive, the U.S. Department of Justice said Thursday.

The indictment charges that Wang Hsin-tsung was part of a conspiracy from 2001 to 2006 to fix prices of LCD panels, which are used in products ranging from LCD TVs and computer displays to smartphones and more.

Wang became the ninth Taiwanese executive personally charged in the global price fixing scheme. The Department of Justice (DOJ) alleges he was part of secret meetings held in Taipei hotel rooms, where executives stifled competition by setting agreed upon prices for LCD panels. Price fixing by LCD makers directly affected U.S. companies including Apple, Dell and Hewlett-Packard, the DOJ said.

A federal grand jury last June indicted six Taiwanese executives from AU Optronics, the world"s fourth largest LCD panel maker, as well as naming the company itself. AU is fighting the charges.

The US prosecutors have alleged that the firm"s executives held various meetings with rival manufacturers over the past few years in a bid to inflate LCD prices.

The firm said it had also submitted evidence to show that it had priced its panels lower than the "so-called crystal prices from 2001 to 2006", which it said proved that it did not participate in any of price fixing.

"Whether anything that might have occurred during meetings in Taiwan fell within the scope of US law. The jury"s verdict does not answer that crucial question."

According to media reports out of Asia, buyers of large lots of 32-inch open-cell LCD panels – mostly destined for television production – are paying around $54-$59 per panel. In some cases, even lower prices are available. This price is about 40% lower than the price of that panel one year ago.

One report noted that in just the first quarter of 2016, the price of a 42-inch LCD panel is now $115, fully 8% lower than at the end of December. The same situation exists in the PC market as well. One report noted that the price of a 15.6-inch LCD display, destined for a notebook PC, is now only $25.50 down 10% since the end of December.

While dropping panel prices can be good news for consumers, who are finding great deals on televisions and computers around the world – it is terrible news for the industry, as profits get pressured…or eliminated altogether. Most markets are reporting dramatic drops in television pricing – even on the step-up 4K Ultra HD televisions – on which many brands hoped to realize more profit on this latest video technology.

Although the LCD panel industry had expected an increase in 2016, it now appears that the best they can hope for us flat shipments. And even that dismal estimate may be optimistic. Industry insiders are now forecasting sales of 224 million panels globally – about the same level as 2015.

The global economic slowdown has caused a dramatic drop-off in television sales. Most manufacturers had targeted increased panel sales in developing markets. But as it has turned out, sales declines globally have offset whatever gains they’ve been able to make in these newer markets.

A report by the Nikkei points out that China’s BOE Technology Group, as well as other Chinese LCD panel makers, are ramping up production in this environment and are guilty of fueling a price war. IHS, a U.S. market research company, estimates that production capacity for panels 9.1-inches or larger will exceed demand by 14% this year. This amount is well beyond a more normal rate of 10% or less.

According to TrendForce, LCD TV panel quotations bore the brunt of continuous downgrades in the purchase volume of TV brands and pricing for most panel sizes have fallen to record lows. Recently, it was announced that the 32-inch and 43-inch panels fell by approximately US$5~US$6 in early June, 55-inch panels fell approximately US$7, and 65-inch and 75-inch panels are also facing overcapacity pressure, down US$12 to US$14. In order to alleviate pressure caused by price decline and inventory, panel makers are successively planning to initiate more significant production control in 3Q22. According to TrendForce’s latest research, overall LCD TV panel production capacity in 3Q22 will be reduced by 12% compared with original planning.

As Chinese panel makers account for nearly 66% of TV panel shipments, BOE, CSOT, and HKC are industry leaders. When there is an imbalance in supply and demand, a focus on strategic direction is prioritized.  According to TrendForce, TV panel production capacity of the three aforementioned companies in 3Q22 is expected to decrease by 15.8% compared with their original planning, and 2% compared with 2Q22. Taiwanese manufacturers account for nearly 20% of TV panel shipments so, under pressure from falling prices, allocation of production capacity is subject to dynamic adjustment. On the other hand, Korean factories have gradually shifted their focus to high-end products such as OLED, QDOLED, and QLED, and are backed by their own brands. However, in the face of continuing price drops, they too must maintain operations amenable to flexible production capacity adjustments.

TrendForce indicates, in order to reflect real demand, Chinese panel makers have successively reduced production capacity. However, facing a situation in which terminal demand has not improved, it may be difficult to reverse the decline of panel pricing in June. However, as TV sizes below 55 inches (inclusive) have fallen below their cash cost in May (which is seen as the last line of defense for panel makers) and is even flirting with the cost of materials, coupled with production capacity reduction from panel makers, the price of TV panels has a chance to bottom out at the end of June and be flat in July. However, demand for large sizes above 65 inches (inclusive) originates primarily from Korean brands. Due to weak terminal demand, TV brands revising their shipment targets for this year downward, and purchase volume in 3Q22 being significantly cut down, it is difficult to see a bottom for large-size panel pricing. TrendForce expects that, optimistically, this price decline may begin to dissipate month by month starting in June but supply has yet to reach equilibrium, so the price of large sizes above 65 inches (inclusive) will continue to decline in 3Q22.

TrendForce states, as panel makers plan to reduce production significantly, the price of TV panels below 55 inches (inclusive) is expected to remain flat in 3Q22. However, panel manufacturers cutting production in the traditional peak season also means that a disappointing 2H22 peak season is a foregone conclusion and it will not be easy for panel prices to reverse. However, it cannot be ruled out, as operating pressure grows, the number and scale of manufacturers participating in production reduction will expand further and it timeframe extended, enacting more effective suppression on the supply side, so as to accumulate greater momentum for a rebound in TV panel quotations.

Taiwanese manufacturers of the panels used to make flat-screen computer displays are set to grab an even larger slice next year of a global market they now control two-thirds of, analysts said yesterday.\nBy the end of next year, Taiwan is expected to control 73 percent of the thin-film transistor liquid-crystal display (TFT-LCD) panel market for computer monitors, up from 65 percent of this year, according to a report given yesterday by Li Hsiou-ling (勵秀玲) of the Market Intelligence Center (MIC) under the Institute for the Information Industry.\nFalling prices have encouraged more people to buy new computer systems with flat-screen computer monitors and replace the bulky cathode-ray tube (CRT) screens in existing systems.\nWorldwide LCD monitor sales are expected to jump almost 60 percent to around 51 million this year compared to last year, Li said, and will grow a further 35 percent next year to over 68.5 million.\n"Price is a major factor in the rise of LCD monitors," Li said. "But for the average consumer the current average selling price of between US$300 and US$330 still needs to come down."\nLocal manufacturers AU Optronics Corp (友達光電), Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corp (奇美電子), Quanta Display Inc (廣輝電子), HannStar Display Corp (瀚宇彩晶), and Chunghwa Picture Tubes Ltd (中華映管) have been increasing production to supply world brandnames like Dell Inc and Hewlett-Packard Co with TFT-LCD panels.\nDell outsources 55 percent of its production to Taiwanese manufacturers, MIC said yesterday, while HP places 90 percent of its LCD monitor orders here.\n"I think it is possible for Taiwan"s flat-panel makers to break the 70-percent barrier in the computer monitor market next year," said Martha Chen (陳紅), an LCD panel industry analyst with Primasia Securities Co in Taipei.\n"They are increasing their production based in China which will probably win them more orders, and they have a ready supply of downstream suppliers," she said.\nIn a recent report, US-based researcher DisplaySearch already predicted that Taiwan"s share of the global flat-panel monitor market would increase to 69 percent in the third quarter from 63 percent in the second.\nBut when panels for notebook computers, color-screen mobile phones, flat-screen televisions and other consumer products are taken into consideration, Taiwan falls into second place behind rivals in South Korea with 39 percent of the world"s total TFT-LCD panel market, compared to South Korea"s 43 percent, Japan"s 14 percent and China"s 3 percent, according to figures released yesterday by MIC.\nTaiwan is not expected to overtake South Korea in the next twelve months as manufacturers here were slow in opening more efficient and advanced fifth-generation (5G) facilities which produce bigger panels, or more panels from an original piece of glass.\n"The [South] Koreans are well ahead of Taiwanese companies," Chen said. "The Taiwanese are trying to close the gap."\nWith more than a year"s head start on the Taiwanese, the South Koreans have fine-tuned production at their 5G plants so that the number of defective panels has been reduced drastically.\n"South Korea"s 5G production already has a yield of more than 80 percent," MIC"s Ann Hsu (徐美雯) said. "The Taiwanese are facing a shortage of color filters [panel components] and their 5G yield rates are very low."
