canon lcd display made in china

Does Canon now offshore its production to China and/or Taiwan? I"d like to avoid as much as possible purchasing anything made in China, Taiwan, and India -- especially my higher-end stuff, like camera materials (although I think my 300D was probably manufactured in Taiwan, unfortunately.)

Yes, Canon make some of their equipment in Japan, China, as well as Taiwan. As you will not find too much stuff made in Taiwan as it is very expensive to produce there. Quality wise, my experience with the Canon 350XT is as good as the Japanese models.shnaggletooth

There is a big difference between goods made by Chinese companies under their own brands and by products manufactured in China to the design and under control of companies like Canon, Apple, etc.

you know what, thanks for that, I"ll look at mine, just assume everyone makes most everything in China now. I work for a store that gets shoes from Korea, but the manufacturer in Korea is using stuff he gets from China...I"m leary right now..my Sony 717 is in repair after only 2 years of use...the love of my camera life was a Canon in the old SL R world, trying to get used to this new digital thing, and hope the new one stays working long enough for me to learn how to use it. Sure thank everyone on the forum, as it has become my main teacher.

My various Canon EOS DSLR bodies see a lot of use under various conditions, mostly sports, but last week was the first time I was really glad I always put a tempered glass protector on the rear LCD of new bodies as soon as I get them. My daughter had a day off from school and we decided to take advantage of the nice Fall weather and go hunting for geodes in a stream near Keokuk Iowa. I brought my 5DS R along and near the end of the day, a piece of a geode I had just picked up fell off taking the worst possible path and it bounced off the back of the display screen. It cracked the protector but the display underneath was pristine and today I replaced the protector.

The rear display is fairly easy and inexpensive to replace so cracking one isn"t the end of the camera and a protector won"t protect against severe hits but it is cheap insurance and in this case it worked for me.

► 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.

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.

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.

TOKYO -- China is expanding its presence in the field of key components for the electronics industry, such as liquid crystal display panels and semiconductors. In China, seven state-of-the-art LCD panel factories will come onstream over the next three years, and there has emerged a plan to construct one of the world"s largest memory chip plants.

This post is about batteries for Canon digital cameras. It"s easy to get confused if you have a few different models of Canon cameras like I do. We"re going to answer the common questions you have about Canon camera batteries.

Right now I am shooting with 3 different cameras that use 3 different batteries. I know what you"re thinking. That"s crazy! We"ll explain that in a minute, but first a quick look at organizing your Canon batteries if you think you"re in need of a backup battery.

You can also label your batteries by date, so that you know which is the freshest battery and which has the most capacity for the longest life. Here is a short video for you to help with staying organized with your batteries for your Canon digital cameras.

You do not have to use Canon batteries in your Canon camera. There are many legitimate battery manufacturers that make high quality batteries that will power you Canon with no problems.

I started out as a Canon loyalist when it came to using their batteries.  Like I did, you can live and learn by your mistakes. Provided  any camera accessory is manufactured properly and it is fully compatible with ZERO difference in function , it make sense to go with a third party.

There"s enough of a common misconception that if it doesn"t say Canon, it won"t work in your camera. That concept creates enough of a demand to obligate photographers to buy Canon batteries. Don"t get me wrong, Canon batteries are top quality, but there are plenty of other solid options.

All Canon batteries are not the same. Many of them are the same shape because the Canon cameras are built with similar designs. You can interchange Canon batteries with batteries marketed by other companies. Just double check to make sure they"re compatible.

Each Canon camera has its own design and has unique size dimensions as well as different spaces available inside its body. Batteries have to be matched to both fit in a specific location as well as provide a specific amount of power to the camera.

As an example, the EOS R mirrorless camera was designed to accept the same LP-E6 batteries as several of the Canon DSLR cameras as well as several of the Canon mirrorless "R" cameras, such as the R, the R5, the R6, and Ra.

As mentioned, third party batteries are fine provided they are purchased from a reputable company. You DO take a risk if you buy a fake Canon battery, that is a counterfeit that says it"s a Canon battery, but is really a fake.

Any individual or company that is trying to fool you can"t be trusted and you shouldn"t trust the reliability or safety of using their batteries in your expensive Canon camera.

The most well known source of counterfeit batteries can be found on ebay. The easy clue to look for is a "Genuine Canon Battery" priced at the same low price of a legitimate 3rd party alternative.

TEST IT. Buy them and do a full test as soon as you get them.  This takes a little effort to drain a full battery. Shoot video, use the LCD screen continuously on a bright setting, and use the built-in flash frequently to give your new battery a good test.

3RD PARTY. Buy the NON-canon made batteries. Canon is a camera and lens maker not an expert at manufacturing and distributing batteries. Buy batteries from a company that focuses on batteries.

Canon corporation does not make its own batteries. Surprised? Don"t be. The large majority of batteries are made in China. Canon is located in Japan. To the best of my knowledge and at the time of this post, Canon outsources their battery production to a single company in China.

Canon has 4 different types of batteries they use for their EOS digital cameras. These come straight from the Canon Europe website:NP SERIES. Large, high capacity for the professional series cameras

One of the popular camera accessories for Canon shooter is a battery grip.  They give you great access to the camera controls and settings while holding your camera in a vertical "portrait" orientation.

What docable release shutter buttons do and should you use a genuine canon cable release for your Canon camera or can you get by with another manufacturer?

The Canon EOS 77D, known in Japan as the EOS 9000D, and in Mainland China as the EOS 770D, is a digital single-lens reflex camera announced by Canon on February 14, 2017.MSRP of US$899.99, which is more expensive than Canon EOS 760D, which it replaces. The camera can be purchased as a body-only, as kit with the 18-55mm IS STM lens at US$1,049, with the new 18-135mm IS USM lens at US$1,499.

According to Canon"s U.S. subsidiary, the camera "represents a new category of advanced amateur EOS cameras, a step above the Rebel series."80D and 77D are that the 77D has a Digic 7 engine, Movie Electronic IS (electronic stabilisation for movies) and bluetooth, the 80D has better weather sealing, pentaprism viewfinder and has Focus Microadjustment (AFMA). The 77D includes a similar but not identical layout to the EOS 80D. It has the same twin control dials, dedicated AF-ON button and top-plate LCD as in the 80D.

Canon released the Dual Pixel CMOS AF version in EOS 77D, EOS 80D, EOS 200D, EOS 800D, and also M6 it is the world"s fastest AF focusing speed of 0.03 second.
