China’s LCD panel upstream supporting industry is still in its initial stage

time:2016-03-11

With the production of several TFT-LCD high generation production lines have been put into operation in recent years, China’s flat panel display industry showing a high speed, benign development trend, in 2012 the size of the industry reached about 70000000000 yuan. China in the global market share increased to 11.2%, domestic LCD panel self-sufficiency rate has been greatly improved, the TV panel to achieve self-sufficiency rate of 30%, mobile phone panel has been able to meet the needs of domestic enterprises 50%, the LCD panel of the import and export trade deficit than a year 20.6 percent reduction. <br />
<br />
If the BOE 5 generation line is built in Beijing, China’s flat panel display industry has just 10 years. 10 years, we almost from scratch built a large-scale TFT-LCD industry. Now China has built and built the production line has 21, including 4.5 4 lines, 5 lines, 2 lines, 5.5 lines, 3 lines, 6 lines and 8.5 8 lines, with a total investment of 200 billion yuan. The annual production capacity will reach 50 million square meters, products covered by mobile phone, tablet computer, notebook, desktop computers, televisions and other display terminal display. Directly or indirectly, the annual output value will reach thousands of billion yuan. <br />
<br />
Such a huge investment will greatly pull huge demand for the upper reaches of the industrial chain, to drive the glass substrate, liquid crystal materials, polarizer, color filter, optical thin films, touch screen, backlight, and related raw materials, components and related equipment of the upstream industry development. According to estimates, after 2016, China’s TFT-LCD industry annual requires at least 250 tons of liquid crystal material, 100 million square meters of substrate glass (including color film with glass), 1.0 million square metres of polarizer, 50 million square meters color filter, billions of square meters of optical thin films, hundreds of millions of back light source component and hundreds of millions of driver IC, the total value will be close to hundreds of billions of dollars. <br />
<br />
In the face of such a huge market demand, China’s LCD panel industry upstream ready? How do they present? <br />
<br />
Overall, China’s LCD panel of the upper supporting industry started later. So far we haven’t built a complete upstream industries. In a sense, the establishment of a complete industrial system than the upstream supporting several construction of high generation device production line more difficult and more complicated. We now have just begun.
