tft lcd glass substrate supplier

“LCD glass substrate” is a generic term for the special glass used for thin-film transistor (TFT) LCDs which form the display area of products including LCD televisions, personal computers and mobile phones. An LCD panel consists of various components stacked in a number of layers. These components include a polarizer, a color filter and a liquid crystal layer, with the glass substrate being the most important. Glass substrates are extremely thin – typically about 0.3-0.7 mm – and 8th-generation glass substrates (2,200 x 2,500 mm) are as large as three tatami mats in size.

In order to accurately display beautiful, high-definition images, LCD glass substrates must have super-smooth surfaces with irregularities reduced to the nano-level. It is also necessary to avoid the formation of internal bubbles and the intrusion of foreign matter (dust) too minute for the naked eye. Smooth and scratch-free glass substrates with the ultimate precision represent the maximum quality AvanStrate aims for.

In its display business, AGC holds the number-two global market share in glass substrates used for thin-film-transistor (TFT) liquid crystal displays (LCD) and OLEDs.

The glass substrate is one of the core layers of TFT LCD. It influences fundamental features of the display in the resolution, light transmittance, thickness, weight, and viewing angle.

The glass substrate is the core component of the TFT LCD and plays a significant role in the upstream of the TFT LCD industry, similar to the silicon wafer in the semiconductor industry.

Since the quality of the glass substrate decides the features of the display in the resolution, light transmittance, thickness, weight, viewing angle, and other important parameters.

The fundamental structure of the TFT LCD is similar to a sandwich, two layers of “bread” (TFT substrate and color filter) sandwiched with “jam” (liquid crystal).

Considering the unique environment in the manufacturing process of TFT-LCD, such as high temperature, high pressure, and environment switching among acidic-neutral-alkaline, the following characteristics of the glass must meet the challenge and quality requirement.

In the manufacturing process, the maximum temperature can reach above 600 ℃, which requires the glass substrate to remain rigid without any sticking even at such a high temperature.

After the etching process, the glass substrate needs to remain with minimal changes, and can’t be left with visible residue and interference with film deposition.

In the process the mother glass is cut into pieces in the required size, with a thickness of only 0.5-0.7mm, the glass needs to have high mechanical strength and elastic modulus >70GPa.

Usually, the size has doubled with each successive generation. From the initial generation 4 (G4) to the current G11, the size of the substrate has grown to 3000*3320mm.

In the global market of glass substrates for TFT-LCD, more than 90% are concentrated in several major manufacturers, such as Corning (America), Asahi Glass (Japan), Nippon Electric Glass (Japan), and AvanStrate (Taiwan).

However, there is still a gap and need for breakthroughs in the glass for high-generation LCD panel production lines and AMOLED alkali-free glass technology. It is hard to achieve high localization in a short time.

AGC has now decided to relocate a cutting-edge glass substrate production facility from within the AGC Group. This investment will significantly reduce the need for capital investment while maintaining the group"s total production capacity.

There has been a large increase in production of TFT-LCD panels in China in recent years which has resulted in an abrupt increase in demand for glass substrates. To accommodate demand growth, the AGC Group has established a supply system by setting up a processing facility in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province, and Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, and a furnace in Huizhou,Guangdong Province.

AGC has also decided to build an 11th generation dedicated glass substrate* furnace in order to address the anticipated growth in demand of TFT-LCD panels that will use similar-sized TFT-LCD glass substrates.

Recently, the Bengbu Glass Industry Design and Research Institute Holdings subsidiary, Chengdu Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. production of the first ultra-thin 0.5mm the arsenic TFT-LCD glass substrate products passed the domestic core users - Tianma Microelectronics batch certification, and officially subsequent bulk purchases orders, successfully open up the market.

China"s first 8.5-generation tft-lcd glass substrate production line was successfully fired in bengbu, anhui province on Monday, entering the debugging stage of the equipment. The production is expected to reach mass production in September.

TFT-LCD glass substrate is the key strategic material of electronic information display industry.The 8.5 generation tft-lcd glass substrate has a size of 2.2m*2.5m and can be cut into 6 55-inch panels.At present, the 8.5 generation tft-lcd glass substrates for large-size LCD TVS in China are completely dependent on the technology and products of foreign companies, and they cannot be independently produced.

The ignition production line is the project result of the national key research and development program of ministry of science and technology "development and industrialization demonstration of core technology of high-generation electronic glass substrate and cover plate", which is led by China building materials bengbu glass industrial design and research institute.

According to the data of liquid crystal branch of China optical optoelectronics industry association, in 2018, the demand of glass substrate in mainland China is about 260 million square meters, among which the demand of 8.5 generation glass substrate is 233 million square meters, while the annual supply of domestic tft-lcd glass substrate is less than 40 million square meters, and all of them are 6 generation lines or below.

The 8.5 generation tft-lcd glass substrate production represents the high level of modern glass industry large-scale manufacturing, and its core technology has been monopolized by a few foreign enterprises for a long time.Supported by the national key research and development program, bengbu glass industry design and research institute of China building materials co., LTD., with years of accumulation and persistent research, has cooperated with several units to overcome the key technology of high-generation electronic glass, which will provide the key raw material guarantee for China"s LCD panel industry after mass production.

It is reported that after the project volume, China will become one of the few countries in the world to master the production technology of high-generation tft-lcd glass substrate.

TFT liquid crystal display is characterized by good brightness, high contrast, strong sense of hierarchy, bright colors, but there are also relatively power consumption and high cost deficiencies. TFT liquid crystal technology has accelerated the development of cell phone color screen. Many of the new generation of color screen cell phones support 65536 color display, some even support 160,000 color display, this time TFT’s high contrast, color-rich advantages are very important.

TFT technology is developed in the 1990s, using new materials and processes of large-scale semiconductor fully integrated circuit manufacturing technology, is the liquid crystal (LC), inorganic and organic thin film electroluminescent (EL and OEL) flat panel display basis. TFT is in the glass or plastic substrate and other non-monocrystalline wafer (of course, can also be on the wafer) through sputtering, chemical deposition process to form the necessary manufacturing circuit TFT is formed on a non-monocrystalline substrate such as a glass or plastic substrate (or, of course, on a wafer) by sputtering and chemical deposition processes to form the various films necessary for the manufacture of circuits. The use of non-monocrystalline substrates can significantly reduce costs and is an extension of conventional large-scale integrated circuits to large-area, multi-functional, low-cost direction. It is more technically difficult to manufacture TFTs that control the switching performance of image elements (LC or OLED) on large-area glass or plastic substrates than to manufacture large-scale ICs on silicon wafers. The requirements for the production environment (purification level 100), the requirements for the purity of raw materials (99.999985% purity of electronic special gas), the requirements for production equipment and production technology exceed those of semiconductor mass integration, which is the top technology of modern mass production. Its main features are.

(1) large area: the first generation of large-area glass substrate (300mm × 400mm) TFT-LCD production line put into operation in the early nineties, to the first half of 2000 the area of the glass substrate has been expanded to 680mm × 880mm), and 950mm × 1200mm glass substrate will also be put into operation. In principle, there is no area limitation.

(2) high integration: 1.3-inch TFT chip for LCD projection resolution of XGA contains millions of pixels. Resolution of SXGA (1280 × 1024) of 16.1-inch TFT array non-crystalline silicon film thickness of only 50nm, as well as TABONGLASS and SYSTEMONGLASS technology, the integration of its IC, the requirements of equipment and supply technology, technical difficulties are more than the traditional LSI.

(3) Powerful: TFT was first used as a matrix addressing circuit to improve the light valve characteristics of liquid crystals. For high-resolution displays, precise control of the object element is achieved through voltage regulation in the range of 0-6V (its typical value of 0.2 to 4V), thus making it possible for LCDs to achieve high-quality, high-resolution displays. TFT-LCD is the first flat panel display in human history that exceeds CRT in display quality. And people began to integrate the driver IC into the glass substrate, the whole TFT will be more powerful, which is unmatched by the traditional large-scale semiconductor integrated circuits.

(4) low cost: glass substrates and plastic substrates fundamentally solve the cost of large-scale semiconductor integrated circuits, the application of large-scale semiconductor integrated circuits to open up a wide application space.

(6) wide range of applications, TFT technology-based liquid crystal flat panel display is the pillar of the information society, but also technology can be applied to the rapid growth of thin-film transistor organic electroluminescent (TFT-OLED) flat panel display is also growing rapidly.

With the maturity of TFT technology in the early nineties, color LCD flat panel displays developed rapidly, and in less than 10 years, TFT-LCD grew rapidly into a mainstream display, which is inseparable from the advantages it has. The main features are.

(1) the use of good characteristics: low-voltage applications, low drive voltage, solidification of the use of security and reliability; flat, and thin, saving a lot of raw materials and use of space; low power consumption, its power consumption is about one tenth of the CRT display, reflective TFT-LCD is even only about one percent of the CRT, saving a lot of energy; TFT-LCD products and specifications models, the TFT-LCD products also have many features such as serialized specifications, various sizes, convenient and flexible usage, easy maintenance, updating and upgrading, and long service life. Display range covers the application range of all displays from 1 inch to 40 inches and projection of large planes, is a full-size display terminal; display quality from the simplest monochrome character graphics to high resolution, high color fidelity, high brightness, high contrast ratio, high response speed of various specifications of the model video display; display mode has a direct view type, projection type, see-through type, but also reflective type.

(2) Good environmental characteristics: no radiation, no flicker, no damage to the user’s health. Especially the emergence of TFT-LCD electronic books, will bring mankind into the paperless office, paperless printing era, triggering a revolution in the way humans learn, spread and record civilization.

(3) Wide range of application, from -20 ℃ to +50 ℃ temperature range can be used normally, after temperature reinforced processing of TFT-LCD low temperature working temperature can reach minus 80 ℃. It can be used as mobile terminal display, desktop terminal display, and large screen projection TV, which is a full-size video display terminal with excellent performance.

(4) The manufacturing technology is highly automated and has good characteristics for large-scale industrial production, and the technology of TFT-LCD industry is mature and the yield rate of large-scale production is over 90%.

(5) TFT-LCD is easy to integrate and update, and is a perfect combination of large-scale semiconductor integrated circuit technology and light source technology, with great potential for continued development. Currently there are amorphous, polycrystalline and monocrystalline silicon TFT-LCD, the future will have other materials TFT, both glass substrate and plastic substrate.
