Green led the next 10 years the development of flat panel display

The latest research institute DisplaySearch pointed out that in 2008 the global use of green technologies or materials produced by the panel, has 20% of the market share, is expected to 2011 green environmental protection panel market share will increase to 50% in 2012 to 70%, and reached 100% in 2014. With the rise of environmental awareness, Green green technology has been gradually applied in a variety of flat panel display, is expected in the next 10 years, green technology will lead the development of flat panel display products and technologies.

DisplaySearch vice president Xie Qinyi believes that the power consumption point of view, in the use of all panel computer or consumer products, the panel is the highest power consumption component products, so in the global economy there are still doubts about the situation, but consumers pay more attention to the green environmental protection products and technology. In other words, regardless of the economic boom, the green panel will be the next 10 years the most popular topic in the display industry, green technology will also change the whole ecological environment of the upper and lower reaches of the panel. In addition, the green environmental protection technology is not an independent event, including the process of saving materials and reducing the loss and environmental protection certification and so on, will affect the panel and material manufacturers future competition and development prospects.

In the TFT-LCD part, the current use of green TFT-LCD LCD display four methods, including: green panel design, energy saving process, the use of environmental protection components, environmental protection packaging, etc.. Among them, the green panel design refers to the enhanced panel transmittance of the new CELl structure, or as PSA, COA, AMVA, and SHA and other new technologies. Energy saving process such as reducing the mask, color filter ink-jet printing, roller production, toxic gas replacement, etc.. Environmental protection components include gas, color filter, liquid crystal, optical film, driver chip, LED backlight. Green packaging is the packaging space knuckles method, or packaging materials recycling and so on.

As for OLED organic light-emitting devices, because OLED has a simple structure, reduce material consumption, and power saving features, originally belongs to the natural green display technology. PDP plasma is through the high brightness, low EMI (electromagnetic interference) environmental protection materials, as well as to reduce the material and so on the new process, to achieve the goal of green display.

According to the DisplaySearch survey, the display of supply chain from upstream to downstream, are in the green environmental protection technology development, is mainly driven by environmental protection and energy saving regulations or rules, reduce the cost, social responsibility and other factors. Among them, the road has been the environmental protection and energy saving regulations such as RoHS, WEEE, EuP, Energy Star, TCO, etc.. Social responsibility, including corporate responsibility for the community, as well as global energy issues, etc..

In terms of reducing costs, although the panel plant and materials manufacturers, not all green technology can achieve cost savings target, but with more and more suppliers to adopt green technologies, as well as the rapid development of related technology, Green will become one of the most cost saving measures for manufacturers. On the other hand, with the rise of public awareness of environmental protection, the development of green products manufacturers, will also be able to prevent the occurrence of future related claims cases.

DisplaySearch statistics, in 2008, including LCD, plasma and OLED display output value reached $95 billion 600 million, of which Green flat panel display accounted for 20%. The application of Green flat panel displays in panel and terminal products will continue to heat up in 2009 -2010. By 2011 the market share of Green products will reach 50% in the year to come to 70% in 2012, and in the amount of 100% to 2014.

DisplaySearch recently released the latest report, Green Technology in Flat theme Panel Displays, Market and Technology Trends (Green FPD green display thematic analysis report), for a variety of flat panel display (TFT LCD, PDP, OLED) of the environmental protection laws and regulations, green energy saving technology, environmental protection material components, production processes, and environmental protection to simplify the panel structure of the latest developments, analysis.

Among them, the definition of the so-called green DisplaySearch flat panel display is to comply with the following items: (1) one of the quasi use environmental protection material and components. (2) concept of green architecture design import panel. (3) using new components and new technology to achieve energy-saving effect. (4) by green manufacturing process can save energy consumption or saving components. (5) can be recycled in the life cycle. (6) panel design, with green or environmentally friendly packaging materials or panel.
