46 lcd panel factory

A promotional image of a quantum-dot LED TV (Samsung Electronics)Samsung Display, the display making arm of Samsung Electronics, is poised to fully shut down its unprofitable liquid crystal display panel business for televisions in June, after over 30 years of operation.

“(Samsung Display) will terminate its supply of LCD panels in June,” an industry source said Monday. The company has been manufacturing its lower-end panels in Asan, South Chungcheong Province.

The long-awaited move came as LCD TV panel prices have been on a constant decline. This led to greater losses for Samsung Display, while Chinese competitors have been ramping up their dominance in the global industry supported by state subsidies and tax breaks.

LCD TVs are considered lower-end when compared to those using cutting-edge TV components such as organic light-emitting diode panels and quantum dot display panels.

According to market intelligence firm Omdia‘s estimate compiled by Daishin Securities, 43-inch LCD panel prices fell 46 percent from September 2021 to May this year, while that of 55-inch panels and 65-inch panels both declined 34 percent over the cited period.

This marks the end of Samsung’s three-decade LCD TV panel business. Once the largest LCD TV panel supplier in the world, Samsung Display‘s market share has gradually shrunk from 22 percent in 2014 to around 2 percent this year.

Samsung Display had sought to exit the business from before 2021, but has been hanging on in part due to Samsung Electronics’ LCD panel supply shortage.

Choi Kwon-young, executive vice president of Samsung Display, confirmed the company’s full exit from the LCD TV panel business within this year in a first-quarter conference call in April.

Given that Samsung’s LCD TV panel exit has long been anticipated and carried out gradually, Samsung Electronics will “unlikely be affected by Samsung Display‘s LCD panel exit” in terms of its continuity in the LCD TV set business, noted Kim Hyun-soo, an analyst at Hana Financial Investment on Monday.

Samsung looks to pivot to quantum dot display technologies for its TV panel business, using quantum dot light-emitting diodes or quantum dot organic light-emitting diodes.

As for the anticipated collaboration between TV maker Samsung Electronics and the world‘s sole white-OLED TV panel supplier LG Display, Kim of Hana said the launch of Samsung’s OLED TV is unlikely within this year due to prolonged negotiations.

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

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

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

Founded in 2001, AUO – or AU Optronics – is the world’s leading TFT-LCD panel manufacturer (with a 16% market share) that designs, develops, and manufactures the world’s top three liquid crystal displays.

Now Sharp is still top 10 TV brands all over the world. Just like BOE, Sharp produce LCDs in all kinds of size. Including small LCD (3.5 inch~9.1 inch), medium LCD (10.1 ~27 inch), large LCD (31.5~110 inch). Sharp LCD has been used on Iphone series for a long time.

Beside those current LCDs, the industrial LCD of Sharp is also excellent and widely used in public facilities, factories, and vehicles. The Sharp industrial LCD, just means solid, high brightness, super long working time, highest stability.

Since its establishment, Truly Semiconductors has focused on researching, developing, and manufacturing liquid crystal flat panel displays. Now, after twenty years of development, it is the biggest small- and medium-sized flat panel display manufacturer in China.
