The Element 22" FLX-2210 is a very nice set. The picture and sound are great. This set came with no accessories. I was able to download the User Manual and got a remote control from China that wouldn"t work on this set. I got another remote on eBay that had my model listed and it works great. I especially like the being able to click program guide and see what will be on that channel for today and tomorrow. This set replaces my old CRT TV in the kitchen and I love the weight difference.

One of today’s modern technological wonders is the flat-panel liquid crystal display (LCD) screen, which is the key component we find inside televisions, computer monitors, smartphones, and an ever-proliferating range of gadgets that display information electronically.What most people don’t realize is how complex and sophisticated the manufacturing process is. The entire world’s supply is made within two time zones in East Asia. Unless, of course, the factory proposed by Foxconn for Wisconsin actually gets built.

Liquid crystal display (LCD) screens are manufactured by assembling a sandwich of two thin sheets of glass.On one of the sheets are transistor “cells” formed by first depositing a layer of indium tin oxide (ITO), an unusual metal alloy that you can actually see through.That’s how you can get electrical signals to the middle of a screen.Then you deposit a layer of silicon, followed by a process that builds millions of precisely shaped transistor parts.This patterning step is repeated to build up tiny little cells, one for each dot (known as a pixel) on the screen.Each step has to be precisely aligned to the previous one within a few microns.Remember, the average human hair is 40 microns in diameter.

On the other sheet of glass, you make an array of millions of red, green, and blue dots in a black matrix, called a color filter array (CFA).This is how you produce the colors when you shine light through it.Then you drop tiny amounts of liquid crystal material into the cells on the first sheet and glue the two sheets together.You have to align the two sheets so the colored dots sit right on top of the cells, and you can’t be off by more than a few microns in each direction anywhere on the sheet.The sandwich is next covered with special sheets of polarizing film, and the sheets are cut into individual “panels” – a term that is used to describe the subassembly that actually goes into a TV.

For the sake of efficiency, you would like to make as many panels on a sheet as possible, within the practical limitations of how big a sheet you can handle at a time.The first modern LCD Fabs built in the early 1990s made sheets the size of a single notebook computer screen, and the size grew over time. A Gen 5 sheet, from around 2003, is 1100 x 1300 mm, while a Gen 10.5 sheet is 2940 x 3370 mm (9.6 x 11 ft).The sheets of glass are only 0.5 - 0.7 mm thick or sometimes even thinner, so as you can imagine they are extremely fragile and can really only be handled by robots.The Hefei Gen 10.5 fab is designed to produce the panels for either eight 65 inch or six 75 inch TVs on a single mother glass.If you wanted to make 110 inch TVs, you could make two of them at a time.

The fab is enormous, 1.3 km from one end to the other, divided into three large buildings connected by bridges.LCD fabs are multi-story affairs.The main equipment floor is sandwiched between a ground floor that is filled with chemical pipelines, power distribution, and air handling equipment, and a third floor that also has a lot of air handling and other mechanical equipment.The main equipment floor has to provide a very stable environment with no vibrations, so an LCD fab typically uses far more structural steel in its construction than a typical skyscraper.I visited a Gen 5 fab in Taiwan in 2003, and the plant manager there told me they used three times as much structural steel as Taipei 101, which was the world’s tallest building from 2004- 2010.Since the equipment floor is usually one or two stories up, there are large loading docks on the outside of the building.When they bring the manufacturing equipment in, they load it onto a platform and hoist it with a crane on the outside of the building.That’s one way to recognize an LCD fab from the outside – loading docks on high floors that just open to the outdoors.

LCD fabs have to maintain strict standards of cleanliness inside.Any dust particles in the air could cause defects in the finished displays – tiny dark spots or uneven intensities on your screen.That means the air is passed through elaborate filtration systems and pushed downwards from the ceiling constantly.Workers have to wear special clean room protective clothing and scrub before entering to minimize dust particles or other contamination.People are the largest source of particles, from shedding dead skin cells, dust from cosmetic powders, or smoke particles exhaled from the lungs of workers who smoke.Clean rooms are rated by the number of particles per cubic meter of air.A class 100 cleanroom has less than 100 particles less than 0.3 microns in diameter per cubic meter of air, Class 10 has less than 10 particles, and so on. Fab 9 has hundeds of thousands of square meters of Class 100 cleanroom, and many critical areas like photolithography are Class 10.In comparison, the air in Harvard Square in Cambridge, MA is roughly Class 8,000,000, and probably gets substantially worse when an MBTA bus passes through.

The Hefei Gen 10.5 is one of the most sophisticated manufacturing plants in the world.On opening day for the fab, BOE shipped panels to Sony, Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, Vizio, and Haier.So if you have a new 65 or 75-inch TV, there is some chance the LCD panel came from here.

Flat-panel displays are thin panels of glass or plastic used for electronically displaying text, images, or video. Liquid crystal displays (LCD), OLED (organic light emitting diode) and microLED displays are not quite the same; since LCD uses a liquid crystal that reacts to an electric current blocking light or allowing it to pass through the panel, whereas OLED/microLED displays consist of electroluminescent organic/inorganic materials that generate light when a current is passed through the material. LCD, OLED and microLED displays are driven using LTPS, IGZO, LTPO, and A-Si TFT transistor technologies as their backplane using ITO to supply current to the transistors and in turn to the liquid crystal or electroluminescent material. Segment and passive OLED and LCD displays do not use a backplane but use indium tin oxide (ITO), a transparent conductive material, to pass current to the electroluminescent material or liquid crystal. In LCDs, there is an even layer of liquid crystal throughout the panel whereas an OLED display has the electroluminescent material only where it is meant to light up. OLEDs, LCDs and microLEDs can be made flexible and transparent, but LCDs require a backlight because they cannot emit light on their own like OLEDs and microLEDs.

Liquid-crystal display (or LCD) is a thin, flat panel used for electronically displaying information such as text, images, and moving pictures. They are usually made of glass but they can also be made out of plastic. Some manufacturers make transparent LCD panels and special sequential color segment LCDs that have higher than usual refresh rates and an RGB backlight. The backlight is synchronized with the display so that the colors will show up as needed. The list of LCD manufacturers:

Organic light emitting diode (or OLED displays) is a thin, flat panel made of glass or plastic used for electronically displaying information such as text, images, and moving pictures. OLED panels can also take the shape of a light panel, where red, green and blue light emitting materials are stacked to create a white light panel. OLED displays can also be made transparent and/or flexible and these transparent panels are available on the market and are widely used in smartphones with under-display optical fingerprint sensors. LCD and OLED displays are available in different shapes, the most prominent of which is a circular display, which is used in smartwatches. The list of OLED display manufacturers:

MicroLED displays is an emerging flat-panel display technology consisting of arrays of microscopic LEDs forming the individual pixel elements. Like OLED, microLED offers infinite contrast ratio, but unlike OLED, microLED is immune to screen burn-in, and consumes less power while having higher light output, as it uses LEDs instead of organic electroluminescent materials, The list of MicroLED display manufacturers:

LCDs are made in a glass substrate. For OLED, the substrate can also be plastic. The size of the substrates are specified in generations, with each generation using a larger substrate. For example, a 4th generation substrate is larger in size than a 3rd generation substrate. A larger substrate allows for more panels to be cut from a single substrate, or for larger panels to be made, akin to increasing wafer sizes in the semiconductor industry.

Young and other top analysts now expect that global shipments of flat‐panel displays will be down 10 percent or more for the year, with revenues taking a similar hit. Meanwhile, OLED displays will continue to gain shares in both the smartphone and TV categories.

Virey says that prior to COVID‐19, he had been cautiously optimistic for the year ahead, given that 2019 was brutal in terms of pricing as the result of overcapacity, especially in the LCD market. The pricing picture began changing late last year, with Samsung and LG both announcing that they were shutting down their LCD fabs in Korea, and with Chinese manufacturers slowing the production ramp‐up at their newest fabs. Demand was up for TV and smartphone displays, and prices were rising.

According to Young, LCD panel prices fell below cash cost in late 2019, before experiencing a temporary increase in the first quarter of 2020 driven by limited supply. But weak retail sales in the wake of COVID‐19 spurred most TV and smartphone brands to lower their first‐quarter demand by 10 to 25 percent. That quick plunge in demand caused panel pricing to drop again in April.

In January, DSCC initially projected 2.1 billion mobile phone panel shipments for 2020, which would have represented a 2 percent year‐over‐year growth. But the firm has revised its forecast to 1.83 billion—a 10 percent drop from 2.03 billion in 2019. TV panel shipments initially were forecast to be 290 million panels, which would have reflected a 1 percent growth. Now DSCC says they will drop 10 percent from 2019, decreasing from 287 to 259 million panels.

DSCC also sees notebook shipments declining 8 percent in 2020, from 185 million to 171, which is 7 percent lower than its initial forecast of 184 million. Furthermore, projections show automotive will be hit hard by COVID‐19, with panel shipments declining 17 percent year‐over‐year from 170 million to 141 million—16 percent lower than DSCC"s initial projection of 169 million.

Omdia expects that LCD TV shipments will be down 9.5 percent, and smartphones will decline 10 percent. It predicts desktop monitors and notebooks will fare better, dropping only 1.9 and 5.8 percent, respectively, as remote working and distance learning drive demand among commercial and educational customers. Meanwhile, feature phones and automotive will fare worse, with both suffering double‐digit declines.

Several factors will help the industry catch up on revenues next year, says Young, including better pricing and a higher mix of OLED. He adds that the Summer Olympics’ move to 2021 should drive LCD TV set sales, while the rollout of high‐end 5G smartphones will spur demand for flexible OLED displays (Fig. 2).

Given the uncertainty, Young studied previous global recessions in 2001–2002 and 2008–2009. Both resulted in dramatic technology shifts, with LCD monitors supplanting cathode‐ray tubes (CRTs) in the early 2000s and LCD TVs grabbing the share from CRT and plasma TVs toward the end of that decade. In evaluating the current COVID‐driven recession, Young doesn"t see any one technology positioned to “cross the chasm” and take over a market like LCD did in the past, although he says flexible OLED is well‐positioned to gain more shares in smartphones.

Omdia also forecasts a strong growth for OLED smartphone displays, and flexible OLED in particular in 2020, despite the decline in overall smartphone shipments. It projects that shipments of OLED panels for smartphones will grow 9 percent, from 471 million units in 2019 to 513 million in 2020. Flexible OLED shipments are expected to grow 50 percent, while rigid OLED shipments will decline by 12 percent.

LG Display Co., a major South Korean display maker, is expected to stop producing liquid-crystal display panels for TV by the end of this year at the earliest, industry sources said Monday, amid falling profitability and fierce competition from Chinese rivals.

The company said in a regulatory filing last week that it was reviewing an end of production at its LCD TV panel factory in Paju, north of Seoul, without specifying the exact date of production suspension.

The panel maker has been scaling down its loss-making LCD TV panel business, with a goal of discontinuing domestic production as early as possible. It has also said it will reduce production in China in a phased manner.

Demand was falling at an "unprecedented level" both for LCD and premium organic light-emitting diode panels, the company said during an earnings call in October, after years of pandemic-driven strong growth for personal IT devices.

Facing mounting challenges, the company has been trying to turn its business around by putting more resources in LCD panels for IT products and high-margin OLED business and expanding its high-value make-to-order business.

Kim Yang-jae, an analyst at Daol Investment & Securities, forecast OLED panels will make up for more than 60 percent of LG Display"s revenue by 2023, up from less than 40 percent in 2021.

Samsung Display, Samsung Electronics" display unit, had scaled down its LCD TV panel business since mid-2010 and completely stopped production in June.
