China is set to take a lead in the state-of-the-art organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) semiconductor display technology, which has broad application prospects in the field of high-end smartphones, televisions, wearable devices, augmented reality and virtual reality display segments, industry analysts said.

OLED is a relatively new technology and part of the recent innovations in displays. It has a fast response rate, wide viewing angles, super high-contrast images and richer colors. It is thinner and can be made flexible and foldable, compared with the traditional LCD display panel.

The shipment of OLED panels used in smartphones is expected to rise to about 100 million units in the Chinese market this year from 83 million units last year, as major smartphone makers have ramped up efforts to launch foldable handsets, said Sigmaintell Consulting, a Beijing-based market research firm.

Display panel supplier BOE Technology Group Co Ltd topped the domestic market with OLED panel shipments of 16 million units in the third quarter. It became the world"s second-largest OLED maker next to South Korea"s Samsung Display. Visionox Technology Inc took second place domestically with shipments of 6.3 million units in the third quarter.

China will overtake South Korea to become the biggest OLED manufacturer by 2024, as more Chinese companies have invested heavily in new OLED production lines, said Zhou Hua, chief analyst at CINNO Research, a Chinese flat panel display consultancy firm.

Zhou said that at present, China has become the world"s largest display panel producer, and is foreseen accounting for about 76 percent of global OLED production capacity by 2025.

Li Yaqin, general manager of Sigmaintell, said demand for flexible OLED panels used in foldable smartphones will continue to increase this year on the back of commercial application of 5G technology, and panel makers should further improve their yield rate capacities and reduce production costs.

According to market research company Omdia, OLED panel shipments for smartphones will reach 812 million units globally next year, an increase of 38.8 percent compared with the estimated 585 million units in 2021.

Chinese smartphone makers have increased the number of high-end smartphones integrating flexible active-matrix organic light-emitting diodes, or AMOLED, panels, said Brian Huh, principal analyst of small and medium-sized displays at Omdia.

Xu Fengying, vice-president of Visionox, said AMOLED panels will have wider applications in smartphones, computers, smart wearables, vehicles, virtual reality and augmented reality because of surging demand for flexible display screens.

"The AMOLED market will continue to grow, and the penetration rate of flexible display products is expected to rise," said Zhu Xiujian, general manager of Visionox"s product engineering center, adding the flexible and foldable screens will play a vital role in bolstering the growth of small and medium-sized smartphones.

Chinese television maker Skyworth Group has been producing OLED TVs in partnership with South Korea"s largest panel maker, LG Display, since 2013. Other home appliance manufacturers such as Hisense, Konka, Huawei and Sony have also tapped into the OLED TV market.

OLED TVs will become the future development direction of the TV industry and present an opportunity for TV manufacturers to expand their profit margins, said Wen Jianping, president of Beijing-based market consultancy All View Cloud.

lcd display vs oled display made in china

► When the leading Korean players Samsung Display and LG Display exit LCD production, BOE will be the most significant player in the LCD market. Though OLED can replace the LCD, it will take years for it to be fully replaced.

► As foreign companies control evaporation material and machines, panel manufacturers seek a cheaper way to mass-produce OLED panels – inkjet printing.

When mainstream consumer electronics brands choose their device panels, the top three choices are Samsung Display, LG Display (LGD) and BOE (000725:SZ) – the first two from Korea and the third from China. From liquid-crystal displays (LCD) to active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED), display panel technology has been upgrading with bigger screen products.

From the early 1990s, LCDs appeared and replaced cathode-ray tube (CRT) screens, which enabled lighter and thinner display devices. Japanese electronics companies like JDI pioneered the panel technology upgrade while Samsung Display and LGD were nobodies in the field. Every technology upgrade or revolution is a chance for new players to disrupt the old paradigm.

The landscape was changed in 2001 when Korean players firstly made a breakthrough in the Gen 5 panel technology – the later the generation, the bigger the panel size. A large panel size allows display manufacturers to cut more display screens from one panel and create bigger-screen products. "The bigger the better" is a motto for panel makers as the cost can be controlled better and they can offer bigger-size products to satisfy the burgeoning middle-class" needs.

LCD panel makers have been striving to realize bigger-size products in the past four decades. The technology breakthrough of Gen 5 in 2002 made big-screen LCD TV available and it sent Samsung Display and LGD to the front row, squeezing the market share of Japanese panel makers.

The throne chair of LCD passed from Japanese companies to Korean enterprises – and now Chinese players are clinching it, replacing the Koreans. After twenty years of development, Chinese panel makers have mastered LCD panel technology and actively engage in large panel R&D projects. Mass production created a supply surplus that led to drops in LCD price. In May 2020, Samsung Display announced that it would shut down all LCD fabs in China and Korea but concentrate on quantum dot LCD (Samsung calls it QLED) production; LGD stated that it would close LCD TV panel fabs in Korea and focus on organic LED (OLED). Their retreats left BOE and China Stars to digest the LCD market share.

Consumer preference has been changing during the Korean fab"s recession: Bigger-or-not is fine but better image quality ranks first. While LCD needs the backlight to show colors and substrates for the liquid crystal layer, OLED enables lighter and flexible screens (curvy or foldable), higher resolution and improved color display. It itself can emit lights – no backlight or liquid layer is needed. With the above advantages, OLED has been replacing the less-profitable LCD screens.

Samsung Display has been the major screen supplier for high-end consumer electronics, like its own flagship cell phone products and Apple"s iPhone series. LGD dominated the large OLED TV market as it is the one that handles large-size OLED mass production. To further understand Korean panel makers" monopolizing position, it is worth mentioning fine metal mask (FMM), a critical part of the OLED RGB evaporation process – a process in OLED mass production that significantly affects the yield rate.

Prior to 2018, Samsung Display and DNP"s monopolistic supply contract prevented other panel fabs from acquiring quality FMM products as DNP bonded with Hitachi Metal, the "only" FMM material provider choice for OLED makers. After the contract expired, panel makers like BOE could purchase FFM from DNP for their OLED R&D and mass production. Except for FFM materials, vacuum evaporation equipment is dominated by Canon Tokki, a Japanese company. Its role in the OLED industry resembles that of ASML in the integrated circuit space. Canon Tokki"s annual production of vacuum evaporation equipment is fewer than ten and thereby limits the total production of OLED panels that rely on evaporation technology.

The shortage of equipment and scarcity of materials inspired panel fabs to explore substitute technology; they discovered that inkjet printing has the potential to be the thing to replace evaporation. Plus, evaporation could be applied to QLED panels as quantum dots are difficult to be vaporized. Inkjet printing prints materials (liquefied organic gas or quantum dots) to substrates, saving materials and breaking free from FMM"s size restriction. With the new tech, large-size OLED panels can theoretically be recognized with improved yield rate and cost-efficiency. However, the tech is at an early stage when inkjet printing precision could not meet panel manufacturers" requirements.

Display and LGD are using evaporation on their OLED products. To summarize, OLED currently adopts evaporation and QLED must go with inkjet printing, but evaporation is a more mature tech. Technology adoption will determine a different track for the company to pursue. With inkjet printing technology, players are at a similar starting point, which is a chance for all to run to the front – so it is for Chinese panel fabs. Certainly, panel production involves more technologies (like flexible panels) than evaporation or inkjet printing and only mastering all required technologies can help a company to compete at the same level.

Presently, Chinese panel fabs are investing heavily in OLED production while betting on QLED. BOE has four Gen 6 OLED product lines, four Gen 8.5 and one Gen 10.5 LCD lines; China Star, controlled by the major appliance titan TCL, has invested two Gen 6 OLED fabs and four large-size LCD product lines.

Remembering the last "regime change" that occurred in 2005 when Korean fabs overtook Japanese" place in the LCD market, the new phase of panel technology changed the outlook of the industry. Now, OLED or QLED could mark the perfect time for us to expect landscape change.

After Samsung Display and LGD ceding from LCD TV productions, the vacant market share will be digested by BOE, China Star and other LCD makers. Indeed, OLED and QLED have the potential to take over the LCD market in the future, but the process may take more than a decade. Korean companies took ten years from panel fab"s research on OLED to mass production of small- and medium-size OLED electronics. Yet, LCD screen cell phones are still available in the market.

LCD will not disappear until OLED/QLED"s cost control can compete with it. The low- to middle-end panel market still prefers cheap LCD devices and consumers are satisfied with LCD products – thicker but cheaper. BOE has been the largest TV panel maker since 2019. As estimated by Informa, BOE and China Star will hold a duopoly on the flat panel display market.

BOE"s performance seems to have ridden on a roller coaster ride in the past several years. Large-size panel mass production like Gen 8.5 and Gen 10.5 fabs helped BOE recognize the first place in production volume. On the other side, expanded large-size panel factories and expenses of OLED product lines are costly: BOE planned to spend CNY 176.24 billion (USD 25.92 billion) – more than Tibet"s 2019 GDP CNY 169.78 billion – on Chengdu and Mianyang"s Gen 6 AMOLED lines and Hefei and Wuhan"s Gen 10.5 LCD lines.

Except for making large-size TVs, bigger panels can cut out more display screens for smaller devices like laptops and cell phones, which are more profitable than TV products. On its first-half earnings concall, BOE said that it is shifting its production focus to cell phone and laptop products as they are more profitable than TV products. TV, IT and cell phone products counted for 30%, 44% and 33% of its productions respectively and the recent rising TV price may lead to an increased portion of TV products in the short term.

Except for outdoor large screens, TV is another driver that pushes panel makers to research on how to make bigger and bigger screens. A research done by CHEARI showed that Chinese TV sales dropped by 10.6% to CNY 128.2 billion from 2018 to 2019. Large-size TV sales increased as a total but the unit price decreased; high-end products like laser TV and OLED TV saw a strong growth of 131.2% and 34.1%, respectively.

The Korean display industry drove Korea’s exports, making Korea a display powerhouse in the world one exporter just 10 years ago. But it has been put into a position to completely lose its power as Korea’s national strategic industry due to a price war initiated by Chinese display makers and a complex global crisis.

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.

By Kim Bo-eunKorea"s display makers currently lead the global market in organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) displays, but they have been growing increasingly alarmed by how fast Chinese rivals have caught up in terms of technology.They worry that they may lose their competitive edge in OLED technology, which is what happened with liquid crystal displays (LCD), where Chinese players now account for close to 60 percent of the global market share. Korean display makers are eyeing the timing of exiting the LCD market, given their profitability has deteriorated due to Chinese players that offer the panels at lower prices.OLEDs are considered as the next-generation display, because the panels are thinner, lighter and show improved picture quality compared to LCDs.Market researchers forecast that Chinese players will quickly expand their share of the market for small-and medium-sized OLEDs used in smartphones.According to Omdia, Chinese companies are expected to account for 27 percent of the global market for smartphone OLED panels next year, up from 15 percent this year. Samsung Display, the market leader in small- and medium-sized OLEDs, is subsequently set to see its market share fall to 65 percent next year from 77 percent this year.The figures are projections based on forecasted panel shipments according to investments into production facilities and market conditions.Chinese companies caught up with Korean LCD manufacturers in a matter of years after a decade of Korea"s dominance from the mid-2000s to 2016, backed by substantial financial support from Beijing.The Chinese government is now backing the development of OLED displays, which has Korean players on their toes, given it could be only a matter of years before Chinese rivals end up dominating the market.Chinese companies are moving quickly to set up large-scale production bases to churn out OLEDs. BOE is constructing a production plant for smaller OLEDs in the southwestern Chinese city of Chongqing. The OLED production line is set to be the largest for a single factory in China, producing 115 million panels on an annual basis.Chinese players have not yet started production of large-size OLED panels, but they have entered mass production of smaller panels and are supplying them to major companies."The technological gap between Korean and Chinese companies" small-size OLED displays has narrowed significantly," an industry official said."For large-size OLED displays for TVs, we estimate that Chinese players are three to four years behind in technology, but they could catch up in a year or an even shorter time span."Chinese firms are scouting key personnel at Korean display makers by offering significantly greater compensation to secure technology, a practice that has been going on for years.Meanwhile, Chinese players are known to receive up to 70 percent in financial support from the central as well as local governments when setting up production facilities.Local display manufacturers are calling for OLED technology to be included among the country"s strategic technology sectors that receive support in R&D and facility investments. The government is currently seeking to include semiconductors, EV batteries and vaccines in these sectors receiving state support.

According to the Korean media reports, BOE’s OLED screen will give a strong competition to Samsung in the next 2 years. BOE may start shipping the OLED panels to Apple in 2020. According to the South Korean analysts, BOE will ship 45 million OLED panels for the iPhone in 2021.

Samsung will still keep the bulk of iPhone orders, but the orders have dropped last year. Samsung has been the biggest OLED display supplier to Apple’s iPhone in 2017.

It was first suggested back in 2017 that BOE was pitching Apple for OLED orders, with a report in February of this year that Apple was considering this. The idea was boosted by a subsequent report that BOE was investing in the same next-generation OLED tech as Samsung.

Existing iPhone screens have a separate touch-sensitive layer which sits on top of the actual display. But Samsung offers a next-generation design known as touch-integrated flexible OLED panels which, as the name suggests, allow both jobs to be achieved within a single layer.

The Korea Herald today reports that Chinese display manufacturer BOE is investing in the same technology. It has already picked up orders from Huawei and is hoping to do the same with Apple.

Apple likes to diversify its supply-chain, one reason it has supported rescue plans for Japan Display, another potential supplier of OLED screens for future iPhones. So both Chinese-made OLED screens and Japanese ones are likely to be on the cards in the next few years.

China"s BOE introduced the world"s largest 8K organic light emitting diode (OLED) panel for the first time. China Star Optoelectronics Technology (CSOT), a subsidiary of TCL, also developed a 60-inch large OLED panel for the first time. China"s attacks has begun to break down the strongholds of LG and Samsung, the only companies in the world that mass-produced large OLEDs. In order not to follow in the footsteps of liquid crystal display (LCD) train that allowed China to take the leading spot, government-level support for the display industry is desperately needed.

At the Society for Information Display (SID) 2022 held in San Jose, California, U.S. for three days from the 10th (local time), Chinese display companies poured out a many new next-generation display technologies such as large OLEDs and micro LEDs.

BOE installed a 95-inch 8K OLED panel at the front of the exhibition. This is the first time that BOE has introduced a large-size OLED at an international exhibition.

By releasing the industry"s largest 8K OLED panel, they demonstrated their technological prowess that it can develop large-scale products. However, this product had less than half of LG products with a luminance (brightness) of up to 800 nitro.

An official at BOE said, "We have not yet ironed out a specific plan for large-scale OLED mass production, but at any time we may prepare for mass production."

BOE installed a super-large micro LED at the entrance of the exhibition hall. MicroLED refers to an LED element size of 100 micrometers (㎛) or less. BOE microLED was found to be 90㎛ horizontally and 120㎛ vertically.

CSOT also unveiled a large OLED panel. CSOT introduced a 65-inch 8K OLED panel for the first time. This product was manufactured using inkjet printing process technology. It is a method of printing OLED light emitting material on a substrate like an inkjet printer. CSOT also exhibited a large number of small and medium-sized low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) OLED panels for mobile use. It is a stepping stone aimed at entering Apple"s iPhone supply chain.

Experts analyzed that China, which has become the world"s leader in display, is catching up quickly in the large OLED market thanks to aggressive investment and astronomical government support. The Chinese government is providing full support to display companies, including free land support, subsidies for manufacturing facilities, and corporate tax reductions. China is planning to mass-produce large-scale OLEDs from China in just one to two years.

Although there is still a technology gap with South Korean companies in the large OLED market, some point out that it is only a matter of time before China catches up with South Korea.

"The Chinese government is investing enormous benefits and support to provide subsidies when display companies make a deficit," said Jang-hyuk Kwon, a professor of information display at Kyung Hee University. "Our government should also widen the technology gap with full support in the display industry," he added.

It is the first time that China took over the No. 1 spot in the display market, which Korea has always been a leader in. The title of “the strongest country in display market” is lost after 17 years. It would not be possible to reclaim the No. 1 spot if Korea cannot find a way to expand investment in next-generation displays such as organic light emitting diodes (OLED).

According to market research firm Omdia, China recorded $64.8 billion in sales including LCD and OLED in the global display market last year. China took over Korea’s No. 1 spot with a market share of 41.5%. Korea"s market share fell 8.3 points (p) to 33.2%. This is the first time since 2004, in 17 years, that Korea had to hand over the No. 1 spot. Korea had a 9.4 p advantage in market share over China up until 2019.

China overtook Korea and seized power in the LCD market by offering a low-priced products. BOE, China"s largest panel manufacturer, has become the world"s largest LCD manufacturer with help of the subsidy from the Chinese government. LCD sales was $28.6 billion last year, accounting for 26.3% of the total LCD market. The sales of Chinese companies such as BOE, CSOT, Tianma, and Visionox increased significantly as demand for TV and information technology (IT) devices increased with the prolonged COVID 19 and increased price of LCD panel.

After taken over in the LCD market, Korea is focusing on the highly-valued OLED market. Samsung Display and LG Display are transforming their LCD production lines to OLED. Korea is the No. 1 with 82.3% of the global OLED market shares according to Omdia, and China’s market share only accounts for16.6%.

China"s dominance is expected to continue for some time because the large display market such as TVs and laptops still depends on LCD. Only when Korea starts to reduce OLED panel prices by mass producing OLED, then Korea can replace the LCD market led by China.

Samsung Display and LG Display were not able to make a decision on investment plans for large OLED plants due to problems with yield and investment funds. Samsung and LG are expected to invest more than KRW 7 trillion in OLED facilities this year according to the industry. Mass production from these companies is expected to begin in the second half of next year even when new and expanding existing investments are made this year.

China has also started to narrow the gap with Korea in OLED industry. BOE and other companies have commercialized OLED for small and medium-sized displays such as mobile, laptop, and tablet. Following LCD market, China is threatening Korea in OLED market as well as China expands OLED market share mainly in the Chinese smartphone market.

Critics are pointing out that Korea needs to expand in OLED market and develop new technologies in order to maintain the OLED gap with China. Korea must take control over the large TV panel market, which has a large technological gap with China, and create a new form factor with new technologies such as flexible, rollable, and bendable panels.

Some criticizes that R&D support and interest are required even if Korean government does not provide subsidies like the Chinese. It is daunting that the government seems to have lost interest in the display industry by giving support for the government’s national talent developing project, and cutting the support for the next-generation display field.

An official from the display industry said, “With the government-led industrial promotion policy and copious domestic market, China is making an effort to solidify its leading position in the display industry. There is a neglect on display industry in Korea since the display promotion policy is almost non-existent compared to semiconductors and batteries.”

Core tips: when it comes to consumer electronics innovation, we should first mention the revolution of display technology. Compared to traditional LCD mobile phone, OLED is much lighter and thinner, with lower power consumption, faster response, higher contrast and color saturation, and has the characteristics of bendability and even transparency that LCD does not have.

When it comes to consumer electronics innovation, we should first mention the revolution of display technology. Compared to traditional LCD mobile phone, OLED is much lighter and thinner, with lower power consumption, faster response, higher contrast and color saturation, and has the characteristics of bendability and even transparency that LCD does not have.

The joining of Apple Inc., the trend setter of consumer electronics, in OLED industry will dramatically change OLED industry chain, and its great annual sales will also change the pattern of intelligent terminal displays. We are optimistic about rapid increase of penetration rate of AMOLED in next year. From the perspective of price, AMOLED is about to replace LCD soon, according to IHS data. It is expected that the AMOLED screen will be used in some flagship models in 2017, and will be widely applied into middle-end models when the supply is sufficient and stable.

According to the data of IHS, AMOLED is about to replace LCD soon: in the first quarter of this year, the cost of 5-inch 1080p AMOLED display reduced to about $14.30 (about RMB 93 Yuan), while the cost of LTPS LCD display with same configuration was $14.60 (about RMB 95 Yuan). In the fourth quarter of last year, the costs of AMOLED display and LTPS LCD display were $ 17.10 and $15.70, respectively, it is clear that the price of AMOLED dropped faster.

In recent years, various manufactures have used the AMOLED display as a selling point of high-end flagship models. With the progress of technology and the reduction of cost, the AMOLED will be applied in low-end models and used to produce curved-display screen in the future. Among over 50 new models released at the first half of this year, more than 1/3 of smart phones used the AMOLED screens. More importantly, Apple Inc., trend-setter and innovator of mobile phones, will also use AMOLED display in 2017 or 2018, which will be emulated by more mobile phone manufactures.

It is expected that the penetration rate of AMOLED screen in smart phones in the world will reach 36% in 2020, and smart phones equipped with OLED screens will exceed 700 million.

Light weight, thinness and low power consumption are the biggest advantages of OLED in the manufacturing of portable products, while the light weight, thinness and curved surface are unique advantages of OLED in producing television and other products. Currently, OLED is mainly applied in smart phones, wearable devices, household appliances and other fields. In 2015, the total output of OLED was 354 million, 70% of which were used in smart phones. Samsung, Vivo, OPPO and other domestic well-known mobile phone manufactures have begun to use OLED.

The rapidly developed industry has brought vast market to upstream parts. As an indispensable component of smart wearable devices, the screen is expected to have great opportunity to develop, and flexible display AMOLED will be the trend of development.

Both Oculus and Valve use short persistence AMOLED display screen, and Sony uses its own OLED display screen. International giants attach great importance to the advantage of AMOLED screen in improving response speed, and OLED technology shortens transmission time of images to display to microseconds, making VR to be the product of virtual reality in the true sense.

OLED industry chain is divided into upstream market, middle stream market and downstream market, of which upstream and middle stream markets are news markets and thus attracting highest attention of capital market. The materials in upstream market were the first to be supplied locally.

According to OLED supply chains of leading enterprises Samsung and LG, it can be concluded that the manufacturing of high-end materials such as light-emitting materials, transport materials, injection materials have been monopolized by enterprises of the United States, Japan and South Korea. Currently, domestic enterprises can only produce PI films, intermediates, driver IC and other upstream raw materials, so there are huge spaces to replace light-emitting and transport materials.

With the development of OLED industry chain and its transfer to the Chinese market, middle stream panel manufacturers will become the ultimate winners through transformation and upgrading. The production capacities of Chinese panel manufacturers, represented by BOE, Tianma, GVO, EDO and Truly, have improved greatly.
