Chinese LCD industry is a race against time grab the commanding heights of industry

IT industry, key areas may become a domestic industry competition. From the perspective of globalization, the LCD industry is a great opportunity for the development of China's electronic information industry. At present, the flat panel display technology has become a new strategic growth point in the development of electronic information industry. The thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) as the main direction of development of flat-panel display technology in 2003, industrial output value of about $32 billion, the total output of flat-panel display industry 92%, is expected to 2008, LCD output will grow to $77 billion. On a global scale, the next 6-8 years the total LCD market will gradually catch up with the semiconductor, the total market value of more than $100 billion.

Global LCD industry layout

Global LCD industry is mainly concentrated in the Asia Pacific region.

From the perspective of the world's LCD industry chain, the United States invented the first technology, Japan to achieve mass production capacity, Japan, Han Yiji, Taiwan, China three.

South Korea's Samsung Electronics, lg-philips in the field of global LCD display occupies a leading position, its market share of more than 40%. At the same time, Korean companies continue to invest in high generation LCD production line, trying to maintain its dominant position in the field of liquid crystal display.

China's Taiwan region through the transfer of technology from Japan, with its existing semiconductor and electronic manufacturing industry base, in a short period of time to expand the scale of production. At present, the Taiwan area has been formed after Japan and Korea after another big LCD industry cluster, on behalf of the enterprise for the Taiwan "five panel called" (AUO, CMO, CPT, HannStar and QDI). China's Taiwan region has become the world's largest supplier of LCD panel.

In 2003 Chinese TV sales accounted for global sales of 20%, second only to the United States, the world's second largest market; China computer industry output value of $45 billion, second only to the United States; the domestic mobile phone has more than 200 million, is the world's largest consumer market; provides a huge market opportunity for the development of these Chinese local enterprises, medium and small the size of LCD products. With the sustained and stable growth of China's electronic information industry, the market will continue to maintain the momentum of rapid growth.

LCD industry transfer Chinese

In recent years, LCD manufacturing capacity is gradually moving to the mainland of china.

Domestic enterprises BOE (Beijing), shentianma (Shenzhen), SVA (Shanghai), ultrasonic Electronics (Guangdong, Shantou), Nanjing (Sichuan) optoelectronic Xinhua Daily (Nanjing), have entered the LCD industry competition, the BOE, SVA in industry leading position.

In fact, as one of the few Asian dominated industries in the field of information technology, TFT-LCD technology and industry transfer is an inevitable trend.

With the manufacture of liquid crystal display technology, Korea and Taiwan of our country has made a tremendous scale of manufacturing, and Japanese firms are gradually withdrawn from the LCD production, and related manufacturing technology transfer to the mainland China trend; considering the LCD market, Chinese huge, Taiwan manufacturers are also actively seeking to enter the mainland; at the same time and South Korean manufacturers in accelerating domestic equipment technology, based on, will also focus on Chinese, actively seek the LCD industry partners. Relying on the huge domestic market, Chinese enterprises can take this opportunity to obtain the technology and the initial market at a lower cost, into the LCD industry, and stronger.

With the development of economic globalization and the comparative advantage of labor force, the global manufacturing industry will be further transferred to china.

According to the international authority DisplaySearch predicts that by 2005, 68.3% of the LCD desktop computer monitors, laptops and 43% of the LCD TV will be produced in China, respectively, by. Due to the large number of manufacturers in China set up factories, local procurement of raw materials and components of the demand will also be greatly increased, which set up factories in China to create a huge business opportunities LCD manufacturers. Therefore, the Chinese mainland will most likely become the future LCD industry's most important base. China LCD industry has the potential to achieve striking.

Compete for the commanding heights of the LCD industry

Japan, South Korea and China's Taiwan region, the LCD industry has been listed as the focus of economic strategy, to actively encourage and support.

The South Korean government on foreign investment in the LCD enterprise income tax seven exemptions and seven reductions, 10% VAT (deductible), import equipment and raw materials duty; the South Korean Ministry of Finance and economy according to the relevant provisions of the World Trade Organization agreement of information technology, from 2001 onwards, the original tariff levied on 8% LCD manufacturing the equipment into the duty-free items.

China's Taiwan region has been included in the LCD screen two trillion binary plan. Based on the promotion of industrial upgrading regulations, LCD manufacturers in the beginning of profit within 5 years without paying income tax, import equipment and raw materials tariff free. In terms of loans, due to the guiding role of preferential industrial development policy, the major banks in Taiwan to provide low interest loans for LCD manufacturers. In recent years, the Taiwan panel "Five" debt capital cost rate has remained at a low level for an average of 2%. In terms of capital market financing, the Taiwan stock exchange conditions relaxed, listed on the scientific and technological undertakings are not clear requirements for the ratio of pre profitability, no stock issuance
