are tft lcd screens the future supplier

Due to its high performance ratio and low cost, TFT liquid crystal displays are used more and more in automotive configurations, and have become the mainstream of automotive audio and video systems and automotive navigation system displays. With the development of artificial intelligence, the content of vehicle display will continue to be enriched, and the specifications of vehicle LCD panels will also increase day by day. High-definition display quality, high brightness, large size, wide viewing angle, thinning, light weight, high reliability, low power consumption, etc. will become the future development trend of on-board displays.

The central control area of some cars is still dominated by traditional structural solid buttons, and the high-end version of some cars uses a touch screen. The design concept of physical buttons greatly limits the interior design, and the space utilization rate is low, which hinders the passenger space in the front row. At the same time, the central control needs to set up corresponding functional areas, such as the central control screen, air conditioning area, vehicle control area, etc., which will complicate the central control area and is not conducive to user operations. Users must find the corresponding button operation among the numerous buttons, and must also adapt to the arrangement of the central control buttons of different models. Compared with the touch screen used in the consumer electronics field, the touch screen used in the automotive field should have the following characteristics:

Among them, large-scale and multi-touch are mainly to meet the user"s experience, which is the same as the trend of electronic consumer goods. At the same time, the automotive field has put forward higher requirements for touch screens, which require high reliability and high durability. These characteristics embody the specific requirements of the automotive field for the central control touch screen of the TFT liquid crystal display.

With the development of intelligence, the touch screen in the car has also become the mainstream. In response to this trend, panel manufacturers have developed new technologies in the field of in-vehicle displays to occupy a favorable market position. Large-size, high-definition multi-function integrated vehicle touch panels will become a standard configuration. At the same time, the vehicle panel needs to be able to be affected by the driving environment, outdoor strong light and high temperature, and the vehicle navigator with resistive or capacitive touch screen has strong anti-interference ability.

OLED is increasingly used in smartphones and televisions, but supply is tightening due to size issues and high production costs, making TFT LCD module demand stronger for the next 3 to 5 years. An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) refers to organic LED materials which light up in the presence of electric currents. OLED uses passive-matrix (PMOLED) or active-matrix (AMOLED). Most manufacturers use AMOLED.

OLED creates the deepest black, generating higher color quality than LCD displays. However, organic elements have lower lifespans than LCDs and AMOLED is not suitable for brightly-lit environments. Apple’s high demand has an impact on AMOLED production, among other factors, which has a subsequent positive effect on TFT LCD module demand.

AMOLED demands gets stronger, due to the pursuit for the best color in smartphones and televisions, but its supply is limited because of production factors. Apple is projected to require 100 million AMOLED panels annually for the next three years. Apple’s requirement creates high AMOLED demand in the small and medium display market. Displays are 9-inch in size, which creates a dent on AMOLED supply.

OLED is particularly harder to make than LCD modules because of the complexity in involved in creating substrate materials. OLED manufacturing is costlier than LCD modules, which may also create long-term production issues.

As AMOLED supply remains uncertain, numerous consumer product manufacturers would rather rely on TFT LCD modules. Innovations in TFT LCD can make them more competitive, especially as they cost less than OLED. Stronger TFT LCD demand will come from high-resolution smartphones and consumer electronics with short life cycles.

Though some say that the demand for TFT LCD is likely to contract, they are not considering the increasing use of OLED which already puts greater pressure on its suppliers. Without reducing OLED production costs, they might experience bottleneck problems in the future. Uncertain of OLED supply, some manufacturers of automotive, smartphone, and medical monitors would still prefer TFT LCD over OLED.

While OLED promises deeper colors, TFT LCD module can offer a more reliable, cost-efficient supply. As a result, companies that do not emphasize the demand for high color saturation would opt for TFT LCD. For the next 3 to 5 years, unless OLED vastly improves manufacturing costs and speed, TFT LCD makers are poised for higher demand.

Lacking cutting-edge R&D capabilities, as well as strong brands and channels, Taiwan"s wide-ranging contract manufacturers find themselves facing a familiar dilemma in the flat panel industry. In addition, Taiwan"s "five tigers" are small compared to South Korea, whose Samsung and LG share nearly 40% of the global market. Their consequent lack of economies of scale has become an increasing concern over the past two years. With numerous industries shifting their manufacturing operations offshore, Taiwan"s flat panel makers are naturally moving to China as well. However, restricted by government policies, most of their China factories are mainly focused on assembly. The technologically more demanding front-end processes remain in Taiwan.

It is forecast that by the end of 2005, Taiwan"s share of the global flat panel market will approach 40%, adding yet another world #1 ranking to its collection.

"Senior engineers with more than three to five years of experience with LCD technology are scarce worldwide," Lin points out. "And this talent is concentrated in Taiwan, Japan, and Korea, making it difficult to lure them away." Eugene Verdon, president of Corning Display Technologies Taiwan, the world"s leading supplier of glass substrates, also believes that the short supply of brainpower is the biggest worry for Taiwan"s flat panel industry.

"It"s not that Taiwanese are not smart enough or industrious enough. It"s simply that this industry is extremely demanding on people, and that applies to both quality and quantity," Verdon says. "Looking at Taiwan"s population growth rate and related figures, and it certainly looks like there may be a steep falloff in the availability of needed skilled workers in the future."

In the current phase, Taiwan"s biggest rival is of course Korea," says PIDA vice president Ma. "Korea entered this industry six years before Taiwan. It has greater upstream and downstream integration, and greater self-sufficiency. Korea also benefits from the brands and global channels of market leader Samsung and of Philips LG. These factors make Korea"s flat panel industry far more complete than Taiwan"s."

Besides South Korea with the breadth of its downstream and upstream integration, and Japan with its cutting-edge technology and strong brands, China has been making moves in recent years. China will likely turn the flat panel industry into a four-way battle.

In 2003, China"s largest CRT manufacturer, BOE Technology Group, seeing that the CRT market was in decline, decided to develop LCDs. Later, BOE purchased Korean company Hydis" LCD panel manufacturing division and immediately became China"s biggest flat panel manufacturer.

Like Taiwan, Japan, and Korea, China has designated display devices and liquid crystal devices as explicit targets for attracting foreign investment and fostering technological development. The Chinese approach of acquisitions and technological cooperation with Japan or Korea is highly reminiscent of the course pursued by Taiwanese firms six years ago.

After much Taiwanese desktop and notebook computer manufacturing moved to China, flat panel assembly plants are following their customers across the Taiwan Strait. If the LCD TV industry cannot gain traction in Taiwan, another wave of manufacturing relocations to China is likely to take place.

With Japan and China intent on joining a competitive fray that has been largely focused on Taiwan and Korea, the two-way battle for supremacy may at any time develop into a four-way tangle, further complicating the scenario.

Can the light from liquid crystal screens also show Taiwan"s high-tech industry the way to another golden decade? The answer may very well soon be revealed.

From tiny cellphones to big-screen TVs, the low weight, low power consumption, and high resolution of LCD screens, along with their low radiation levels and longevity, have made them the focus of a new generation of technology.

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 liquid crystal displays used in calculators and other devices with similarly simple displays have direct-driven image elements, and therefore a voltage can be easily applied across just one segment of these types of displays without interfering with the other segments. This would be impractical for a large display, because it would have a large number of (color) picture elements (pixels), and thus it would require millions of connections, both top and bottom for each one of the three colors (red, green and blue) of every pixel. To avoid this issue, the pixels are addressed in rows and columns, reducing the connection count from millions down to thousands. The column and row wires attach to transistor switches, one for each pixel. The one-way current passing characteristic of the transistor prevents the charge that is being applied to each pixel from being drained between refreshes to a display"s image. Each pixel is a small capacitor with a layer of insulating liquid crystal sandwiched between transparent conductive ITO layers.

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.

Most TN panels can represent colors using only six bits per RGB channel, or 18 bit in total, and are unable to display the 16.7 million color shades (24-bit truecolor) that are available using 24-bit color. Instead, these panels display interpolated 24-bit color using a dithering method that combines adjacent pixels to simulate the desired shade. They can also use a form of temporal dithering called Frame Rate Control (FRC), which cycles between different shades with each new frame to simulate an intermediate shade. Such 18 bit panels with dithering are sometimes advertised as having "16.2 million colors". These color simulation methods are noticeable to many people and highly bothersome to some.gamut (often referred to as a percentage of the NTSC 1953 color gamut) are also due to backlighting technology. It is not uncommon for older displays to range from 10% to 26% of the NTSC color gamut, whereas other kind of displays, utilizing more complicated CCFL or LED phosphor formulations or RGB LED backlights, may extend past 100% of the NTSC color gamut, a difference quite perceivable by the human eye.

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.

In-plane switching was developed by Hitachi Ltd. in 1996 to improve on the poor viewing angle and the poor color reproduction of TN panels at that time.

Initial iterations of IPS technology were characterised by slow response time and a low contrast ratio but later revisions have made marked improvements to these shortcomings. Because of its wide viewing angle and accurate color reproduction (with almost no off-angle color shift), IPS is widely employed in high-end monitors aimed at professional graphic artists, although with the recent fall in price it has been seen in the mainstream market as well. IPS technology was sold to Panasonic by Hitachi.

Most panels also support true 8-bit per channel color. These improvements came at the cost of a higher response time, initially about 50 ms. IPS panels were also extremely expensive.

IPS has since been superseded by S-IPS (Super-IPS, Hitachi Ltd. in 1998), which has all the benefits of IPS technology with the addition of improved pixel refresh timing.

In 2004, Hydis Technologies Co., Ltd licensed its AFFS patent to Japan"s Hitachi Displays. Hitachi is using AFFS to manufacture high end panels in their product line. In 2006, Hydis also licensed its AFFS to Sanyo Epson Imaging Devices Corporation.

It achieved pixel response which was fast for its time, wide viewing angles, and high contrast at the cost of brightness and color reproduction.Response Time Compensation) technologies.

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.

When the field is on, the liquid crystal molecules start to tilt towards the center of the sub-pixels because of the electric field; as a result, a continuous pinwheel alignment (CPA) is formed; the azimuthal angle rotates 360 degrees continuously resulting in an excellent viewing angle. The ASV mode is also called CPA mode.

A technology developed by Samsung is Super PLS, which bears similarities to IPS panels, has wider viewing angles, better image quality, increased brightness, and lower production costs. PLS technology debuted in the PC display market with the release of the Samsung S27A850 and S24A850 monitors in September 2011.

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.

Backlight intensity is usually controlled by varying a few volts DC, or generating a PWM signal, or adjusting a potentiometer or simply fixed. This in turn controls a high-voltage (1.3 kV) DC-AC inverter or a matrix of LEDs. The method to control the intensity of LED is to pulse them with PWM which can be source of harmonic flicker.

The bare display panel will only accept a digital video signal at the resolution determined by the panel pixel matrix designed at manufacture. Some screen panels will ignore the LSB bits of the color information to present a consistent interface (8 bit -> 6 bit/color x3).

With analogue signals like VGA, the display controller also needs to perform a high speed analog to digital conversion. With digital input signals like DVI or HDMI some simple reordering of the bits is needed before feeding it to the rescaler if the input resolution doesn"t match the display panel resolution.

The statements are applicable to Merck KGaA as well as its competitors JNC Corporation (formerly Chisso Corporation) and DIC (formerly Dainippon Ink & Chemicals). All three manufacturers have agreed not to introduce any acutely toxic or mutagenic liquid crystals to the market. They cover more than 90 percent of the global liquid crystal market. The remaining market share of liquid crystals, produced primarily in China, consists of older, patent-free substances from the three leading world producers and have already been tested for toxicity by them. As a result, they can also be considered non-toxic.

Automotive onboard panel display due to high technical specifications, good profit, has always been the LCD panel display suppliers-related manufacturers of a competitive place. In the first half of 2020, the global auto industry was in a depressed market due to coVID-19, lockdowns, and factory shutdowns. However, as economic activity gradually restarts and auto factories resume production, the industry is very positive about the recovery of the automotive panel display market in 2021. Among them, the trend of electric vehicle growth is more concerned.

At present, Taiwan LCD panel display manufacturers, including Au, Qunchuang, and Caijing, have set up the automotive panel market, and cooperate with the first-line big manufacturers to continuously and stably deliver products. Tpk-ky, a big manufacturer of touch panels, is the supplier of Tesla, a big manufacturer of electric cars. Gs-ky has also been working in the Japanese and European car markets for many years.

On the panel component manufacturers’ side, polarized light-sheet da chang MMG is currently focusing on the electric vehicle battery three-layer isolation film (PP/PE/PP). In addition to having started shipping to Chinese customers last year, it has also recently made gains in the Japanese market. Dachang Ruiyi in recent years began to put into the vehicle panel backlight module, this year also entered the Supply chain in Europe and the United States.

Au has cultivated the automotive panel market for many years, and its TFT-LCD panel has entered into the supply chain of many European brands and also introduced products into electric locomotives. According to statistics, AU has accounted for 13%-15% of the global automotive panel market this year.

At present, the company is more active in the research and development of Micro LED display technology. It is optimistic that Micro LED has such characteristics as high brightness, high reliability, fast response time, and no need for a backlight, which can replace a large number of LCD screens in the future and become the mainstream of vehicle display technology.

Following the launch of au’s first 12.1-inch full-color active Micro LED panel in 2019, au will add two new production lines of automotive panel modules in the second quarter of 2020. It is reported that the European and American automobile manufacturers have been contacted so far, and it is expected that Micro LED panel screens will be adopted by automobile manufacturers in 2022 at the earliest.

Qunchuang also spared no effort in the layout of the automotive panel market. At present, its main customers include first-tier European car manufacturers and Tesla, a major ELECTRIC car manufacturer in the United States. According to statistics, it accounts for about 10% of the global automotive panel market this year.

In addition to the original TFT LCD technology, the company has also started to introduce Mini LED technology into vehicle panels in recent two years. It is reported that the company has obtained orders from European and American automobile manufacturers, and is also expected to ship in large quantities in 2022.

At the same time, the group of the vehicle and continued toward the larger screen product development, has announced the introduction of corning laser automatic large size glass laser cutting system of science and technology, main is to be used in manufacturing advanced automotive touch panel, providing customers with high design flexibility, high precision cutting, process more optimized for the touch panel.

Having previously focused on small and medium-sized mobile devices, especially mobile phones, the company has recently accelerated its shift to niche applications such as industrial controls, medical care, and automotive applications. Among them, vehicle panels have been successfully produced in the past two years. Currently, vehicle panels account for about 30% of its revenue.

In the beginning, there were many customers in the supply chain of Chinese automobile manufacturers. Later, it gradually entered the supply chain of Japanese automobile manufacturers and other international automobile manufacturers. Affected by the us-China trade conflict, Caijing moved a vehicle panel module production line from China’s Nanjing plant back to Taiwan’s Nanke Plant in 2019.

In the future, the Nanjing plant will mainly supply Chinese customers and the domestic markets, while the Taiwan Nanke plant will mainly supply Japan and new orders from European and American customers.

Ling Ju’s largest shareholder is Japanese topographies with a stake of nearly 35 percent. Its main production lines are located in Taoyuan, Miaoli, Hsinchu, and Kunshan. In recent years, the company has also focused on the development of niche application panels for automotive, industrial control, medical, home appliances, etc.

Among them, automotive panels now account for about 30% of the revenue. The existing product line includes instrument panels, temperature control panels, head-up displays, etc., and it continues to launch the sample submission certification of new products. It is expected to see new product benefits as soon as 2021.

Tpk-ky, a major touch panel manufacturer, has cooperated with Tesla, a major American electric vehicle manufacturer, for many years. Although the orders for pen and mobile device applications are large and the proportion of touch panels in TPK-KY’s revenue is low so far, the company is still quite optimistic about the future development of electric vehicles.

In August 2020, the company announced that it would invest $100 million in Hennessy Capital Acquisition Corp. IV (HCAC) private equity for indirect investment in Canoo, an electric vehicle startup company, and acquire a 4.29% stake. The main purpose is to further expand the electric vehicle sales business.

Gis-ky cultivates the automotive touch panel market with many years of experience. A few years ago, it launched the automotive curved touch panel products with 3D fully fitting technology. However, due to the large orders of other product lines such as mobile devices, and the addition of on-screen fingerprint identification and LAPTOP LCD module NB LCM products recently, the proportion of vehicle touch panel revenue has been low so far.

At present, GS-KY’s application of vehicle touch panel products includes the center console, indoor light, instrument panel, driver’s seatback control, etc., promising the future development of the vehicle touch screen. In recent years, it has expanded the business of customers in Japan and Europe simultaneously.

Dachang Ming Base Material has been engaged in the field of automotive electronic materials for 10 years. At present, its main product is the three-layer isolation film (PP/PE/PP) for the battery use of electric vehicles. It has been shipped in the second half of 2019 with the initial customer being Chinese battery cell manufacturers.

With the completion of the certification of the first Japanese car factory customer, it is expected that the electric vehicle battery isolation membrane products of Minsubstrate will also be on the market by the end of 2020, along with the customer’s new vehicle models. Products from the second Japanese customer are expected to be introduced in the second half of 2021. It is estimated that the percentage of automotive electronic materials revenue in 2021 is expected to reach 3%-5%.

Ruiyi used to focus on IT application panel backlight module products. In recent years, due to the increasing penetration of OLED panels in the mobile phone screen market, the company has strengthened its layout in other application fields such as automotive and regards automotive panel backlight module products as one of the business priorities in the next few years.

Due to the successive certification of panel customers and first-tier automobile manufacturers, it is estimated that Ruiyi’s vehicle product shipments in 2020 are expected to grow significantly compared with 2019, and even have the opportunity to challenge double, and the revenue contribution of vehicle products in the future is also expected to gradually increase.

Despite the recent strong rebound in large LCD panel prices, it is estimated that large LCD panel display manufacturers could return to profit as soon as the end of this year. But consumer applications, with their short life cycles and demand that often come and go quickly, remain wary.

For automobile LCD display panel suppliers and display groups related vendors, including industrial control, medical treatment, public displays, automotive displays, and so on niche products, while customers certification for a long time, but due to long product life cycle, high technology content, good profits relative also is still the major panel factory and monitor the supply chain manufacturer Mohican.

If you are in the market of color TFT LCD displays and you haven’t already been affected by the recent changes in the global market, then it’s just a matter of time. If you have recently asked, ‘What is going on with TFT-LCD panel prices lately?’, you are not alone. Here at Phoenix Display we have had a lot of questions regarding the TFT-LCD panel price increase that the market is seeing. We want to help explain what is happening, why it’s happening, and what to expect in the near future so that you can be aware of the effects and adjust accordingly.

In recent months there has developed a fair amount of uncertainty in regards to manufacturing conditions for TFT panels at the TFT glass fab level. This has caused a lot of fluctuation and volatility in both the supply and price of TFT panels. We are seeing that the price of TFTs has increased from 25% to 70% on average, and have seen some instances of a 2.5 times increase for the less common configurations. Combined with the fact that lead time is now only confirmed upon placing an actual order with payment in advance, in makes planning and producing around your color display product even more challenging.

One of the important things to realize with regards to TFT market conditions is that flat TFT panels in almost every size are currently in short supply. This is the first time this has happened in almost 20 years.

Some of the larger panel manufactures are exiting TN TFT manufacturing to focus on newer, more profitable technologies. The market has seen a trend towards low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) TFT LCD panels, which provide customers lower power consumption along with higher resolution, along with a big shift into OLED to support wearables, the latest smart phone designs, and even the flat panel Television market as well.

In 2016 there has been a rise in the proportion of LTPS/Oxide TFT smartphone panel shipment production, rising to 34.6% market share compared to 29.8% in 2015. In the coming year we expect to see a variety of panel makers including CSOT, Taiwanese AUO, Chinese Tianma, and Japanese JDI, roll out new LTPS capacities eclipsing and impacting conventional TFT manufacturing. In May the industry had a shortage of television panels which was followed by a similar supply-demand dynamic for notebook and smartphone small panels. This was largely due to JDI, LG Display Co. and Samsung Display Inc., shutting down their production lines in these verticals.

In the last 5 months the TFT cell glass cost has been rapidly increasing, largely due to the influence of upstream LCD panel maker’s supply. As a result of these market fluctuations almost all TFT mother glass suppliers have increased their pricing across the board. Due to these new market impacts, we highly doubt that any of the major TFT mother glass manufacturers will reopen lines that have previously been closed. In fact, current trends lend us to believe that if these lines were ever reopened, they would be used for OLED production rather than TFT. We believe that the capacities problems the market is seeing is not a short-term problem, and will likely not ease until the second quarter of 2017, at the earliest. This leaves the current state of the market in a fair amount of turmoil as the suppliers battle the glass shortage and while offloading the increased cost to manufacturers.

While there is a trend at the manufacturing level to diversify away from traditional color TN TFT LCD display, the positive is there is still be a strong market for this product for years to come due to TN TFTs lower cost advantage and availability. In short, we don’t see TFT displays going away any time soon, but we will be impacted by higher costs and longer lead times for the near future.

You’ve already taken the first step by educating yourself on the issue. By preparing your business and supply chain for the increase in price and decrease in supply which lead to longer lead-times, you can mitigate potential delays and issues in your production. If you have any additional questions about TFT panels or any other standard or custom display needs, please

Here at Phoenix Display, we talk about LCD displays every day. With LCDs being such a big part of our daily lives, we thought it would be useful to explore the history of this important technology and where we see it going in the future.

In 1973, Sharp Corporation made use of LCD displays in calculators. Shortly after, the company followed BBC’s lead and mass produced TN LCD displays for watches in 1975.

1980s. After wristwatches came televisions (TVs), with the first color LCD TVs being developed as handheld TVs in Japan. In 1982, Seiko Epson released the first LCD TV, the Epson TV Watch, a wristwatch equipped with a small active-matrix LCD TV.

1990s. The 90s gave way to technology acceleration in the LCD space. Through multiple breakthroughs, researchers and inventors were able to improve contrast and viewing angles, as well as bring costs down.

2000s. After 30+ years of competition, LCD technology surpassed longstanding CRTs. Namely, in 2007, LCD TVs could claim better image quality than CRT-based TVs. Subsequently, in the fourth quarter of 2007,

Next, let’s take a brief look at how the technology works. Essentially, the LCD glass is just a light valve whose sole purpose is to either block light or allow light to go through it. We go into greater details in our post,

It accomplishes this simple task through the liquid crystal fluid, which is a fluid that’s rotated in a steady natural state between two pieces of glass. This rotation, when combined with front and rear polarizers, allows the light to be either transmitted through the glass or blocked. This light blocking state is changed when a voltage is applied to LC fluid which stops the light’s rotation.

Finally, let’s look at the LCD display landscape in the near future. There’s three big areas that are being explored with LCD displays: Flexible displays, 3D displays, and reel-to-reel manufacturing.

Flexible Displays. Even now, you’re probably hearing buzz about flexible displays, which are bendable displays that are virtually shatterproof and unbreakable.

Development has been moving forward with these displays in both military and industry. Funding by the military makes sense given that flexible displays won’t break like traditional displays, providing for numerous field applications that require a more durable display.

In addition, there are plenty of industrial applications that would benefit from flexible displays, such as products that could use displays that wrap around objects.

3D Displays. With 3D being such a popular technology, it’s no surprise there’s activity in this space. These displays are capable of conveying depth perception to viewers, which provides for a more realistic user experience.

Specifically, 3D displays with passive glasses (or no glasses) remove the requirement for syncing up with more expensive, active, shutter-based glasses. Naturally, this will lead to cost savings.

In contrast, reel-to-reel manufacturing enables the continuous building of glass panels. This will represent a dramatic reduction in costs, which can be passed along to the customer and allow for more competitive pricing.

In recent years, China and other countries have invested heavily in the research and manufacturing capacity of display technology. Meanwhile, different display technology scenarios, ranging from traditional LCD (liquid crystal display) to rapidly expanding OLED (organic light-emitting diode) and emerging QLED (quantum-dot light-emitting diode), are competing for market dominance. Amidst the trivium strife, OLED, backed by technology leader Apple"s decision to use OLED for its iPhone X, seems to have a better position, yet QLED, despite still having technological obstacles to overcome, has displayed potential advantage in color quality, lower production costs and longer life.

Which technology will win the heated competition? How have Chinese manufacturers and research institutes been prepared for display technology development? What policies should be enacted to encourage China"s innovation and promote its international competitiveness? At an online forum organized by National Science Review, its associate editor-in-chief, Dongyuan Zhao, asked four leading experts and scientists in China.

Zhao: We all know display technologies are very important. Currently, there are OLED, QLED and traditional LCD technologies competing with each other. What are their differences and specific advantages? Shall we start from OLED?

Huang: OLED has developed very quickly in recent years. It is better to compare it with traditional LCD if we want to have a clear understanding of its characteristics. In terms of structure, LCD largely consists of three parts: backlight, TFT backplane and cell, or liquid section for display. Different from LCD, OLED lights directly with electricity. Thus, it does not need backlight, but it still needs the TFT backplane to control where to light. Because it is free from backlight, OLED has a thinner body, higher response time, higher color contrast and lower power consumption. Potentially, it may even have a cost advantage over LCD. The biggest breakthrough is its flexible display, which seems very hard to achieve for LCD.

Liao: Actually, there were/are many different types of display technologies, such as CRT (cathode ray tube), PDP (plasma display panel), LCD, LCOS (liquid crystals on silicon), laser display, LED (light-emitting diodes), SED (surface-conduction electron-emitter display), FED (filed emission display), OLED, QLED and Micro LED. From display technology lifespan point of view, Micro LED and QLED may be considered as in the introduction phase, OLED is in the growth phase, LCD for both computer and TV is in the maturity phase, but LCD for cellphone is in the decline phase, PDP and CRT are in the elimination phase. Now, LCD products are still dominating the display market while OLED is penetrating the market. As just mentioned by Dr Huang, OLED indeed has some advantages over LCD.

Huang: Despite the apparent technological advantages of OLED over LCD, it is not straightforward for OLED to replace LCD. For example, although both OLED and LCD use the TFT backplane, the OLED’s TFT is much more difficult to be made than that of the voltage-driven LCD because OLED is current-driven. Generally speaking, problems for mass production of display technology can be divided into three categories, namely scientific problems, engineering problems and production problems. The ways and cycles to solve these three kinds of problems are different.

At present, LCD has been relatively mature, while OLED is still in the early stage of industrial explosion. For OLED, there are still many urgent problems to be solved, especially production problems that need to be solved step by step in the process of mass production line. In addition, the capital threshold for both LCD and OLED are very high. Compared with the early development of LCD many years ago, the advancing pace of OLED has been quicker.While in the short term, OLED can hardly compete with LCD in large size screen, how about that people may change their use habit to give up large screen?

Liao: I want to supplement some data. According to the consulting firm HIS Markit, in 2018, the global market value for OLED products will be US$38.5 billion. But in 2020, it will reach US$67 billion, with an average compound annual growth rate of 46%. Another prediction estimates that OLED accounts for 33% of the display market sales, with the remaining 67% by LCD in 2018. But OLED’s market share could reach to 54% in 2020.

Huang: While different sources may have different prediction, the advantage of OLED over LCD in small and medium-sized display screen is clear. In small-sized screen, such as smart watch and smart phone, the penetration rate of OLED is roughly 20% to 30%, which represents certain competitiveness. For large size screen, such as TV, the advancement of OLED [against LCD] may need more time.

Xu: LCD was first proposed in 1968. During its development process, the technology has gradually overcome its own shortcomings and defeated other technologies. What are its remaining flaws? It is widely recognized that LCD is very hard to be made flexible. In addition, LCD does not emit light, so a back light is needed. The trend for display technologies is of course towards lighter and thinner (screen).

But currently, LCD is very mature and economic. It far surpasses OLED, and its picture quality and display contrast do not lag behind. Currently, LCD technology"s main target is head-mounted display (HMD), which means we must work on display resolution. In addition, OLED currently is only appropriate for medium and small-sized screens, but large screen has to rely on LCD. This is why the industry remains investing in the 10.5th generation production line (of LCD).

Xu: While deeply impacted by OLED’s super thin and flexible display, we also need to analyse the insufficiency of OLED. With lighting material being organic, its display life might be shorter. LCD can easily be used for 100 000 hours. The other defense effort by LCD is to develop flexible screen to counterattack the flexible display of OLED. But it is true that big worries exist in LCD industry.

LCD industry can also try other (counterattacking) strategies. We are advantageous in large-sized screen, but how about six or seven years later? While in the short term, OLED can hardly compete with LCD in large size screen, how about that people may change their use habit to give up large screen? People may not watch TV and only takes portable screens.

Some experts working at a market survey institute CCID (China Center for Information Industry Development) predicted that in five to six years, OLED will be very influential in small and medium-sized screen. Similarly, a top executive of BOE Technology said that after five to six years, OLED will counterweigh or even surpass LCD in smaller sizes, but to catch up with LCD, it may need 10 to 15 years.

Xu: Besides LCD, Micro LED (Micro Light-Emitting Diode Display) has evolved for many years, though people"s real attention to the display option was not aroused until May 2014 when Apple acquired US-based Micro LED developer LuxVue Technology. It is expected that Micro LED will be used on wearable digital devices to improve battery"s life and screen brightness.

Micro LED, also called mLED or μLED, is a new display technology. Using a so-called mass transfer technology, Micro LED displays consist of arrays of microscopic LEDs forming the individual pixel elements. It can offer better contrast, response times, very high resolution and energy efficiency. Compared with OLED, it has higher lightening efficiency and longer life span, but its flexible display is inferior to OLED. Compared with LCD, Micro LED has better contrast, response times and energy efficiency. It is widely considered appropriate for wearables, AR/VR, auto display and mini-projector.

However, Micro LED still has some technological bottlenecks in epitaxy, mass transfer, driving circuit, full colorization, and monitoring and repairing. It also has a very high manufacturing cost. In short term, it cannot compete traditional LCD. But as a new generation of display technology after LCD and OLED, Micro LED has received wide attentions and it should enjoy fast commercialization in the coming three to five years.

Peng: It comes to quantum dot. First, QLED TV on market today is a misleading concept. Quantum dots are a class of semiconductor nanocrystals, whose emission wavelength can be continuously tuned because of the so-called quantum confinement effect. Because they are inorganic crystals, quantum dots in display devices are very stable. Also, due to their single crystalline nature, emission color of quantum dots can be extremely pure, which dictates the color quality of display devices.

Interestingly, quantum dots as light-emitting materials are related to both OLED and LCD. The so-called QLED TVs on market are actually quantum-dot enhanced LCD TVs, which use quantum dots to replace the green and red phosphors in LCD’s backlight unit. By doing so, LCD displays greatly improve their color purity, picture quality and potentially energy consumption. The working mechanisms of quantum dots in these enhanced LCD displays is their photoluminescence.

For its relationship with OLED, quantum-dot light-emitting diode (QLED) can in certain sense be considered as electroluminescence devices by replacing the organic light-emitting materials in OLED. Though QLED and OLED have nearly identical structure, they also have noticeable differences. Similar to LCD with quantum-dot backlighting unit, color gamut of QLED is much wider than that of OLED and it is more stable than OLED.

Another big difference between OLED and QLED is their production technology. OLED relies on a high-precision technique called vacuum evaporation with high-resolution mask. QLED cannot be produced in this way because quantum dots as inorganic nanocrystals are very difficult to be vaporized. If QLED is commercially produced, it has to be printed and processed with solution-based technology. You can consider this as a weakness, since the printing electronics at present is far less precision than the vacuum-based technology. However, solution-based processing can also be considered as an advantage, because if the production problem is overcome, it costs much less than the vacuum-based technology applied for OLED. Without considering TFT, investment into an OLED production line often costs tens of billions of yuan but investment for QLED could be just 90–95% less.

Given the relatively low resolution of printing technology, QLED shall be difficult to reach a resolution greater than 300 PPI (pixels per inch) within a few years. Thus, QLED might not be applied for small-sized displays at present and its potential will be medium to large-sized displays.

Zhao: Quantum dots are inorganic nanocrystal, which means that they must be passivated with organic ligands for stability and function. How to solve this problem? Second, can commercial production of quantum dots reach an industrial scale?

Peng: Good questions. Ligand chemistry of quantum dots has developed quickly in the past two to three years. Colloidal stability of inorganic nanocrystals should be said of being solved. We reported in 2016 that one gram of quantum dots can be stably dispersed in one milliliter of organic solution, which is certainly sufficient for printing technology. For the second question, several companies have been able to mass produce quantum dots. At present, all these production volume is built for fabrication of the backlighting units for LCD. It is believed that all high-end TVs from Samsung in 2017 are all LCD TVs with quantum-dot backlighting units. In addition, Nanosys in the United States is also producing quantum dots for LCD TVs. NajingTech at Hangzhou, China demonstrate production capacity to support the Chinese TV makers. To my knowledge, NajingTech is establishing a production line for 10 million sets of color TVs with quantum-dot backlighting units annually.China"s c
