Japan TFT-LCD industry consolidation triggered the Taiwan rectification

Japanese either TFT or plasma TV (PDP) industry, will inevitably merge, retain elite and South Korea beat, Taiwan TFT industry can also smaller hills everywhere, not to merge? New TFT industry has entered a large amount of investment, a seven generation plant at one hundred billion yuan, the LCD industry the earliest birthplace of Japan, in the selection and concentration of industrial development, to face the fierce competition in the brutal early. METI official Fukuda Xiujing said that Japan's development of information and materials industry should be a selection, concentration of whole and advance, and in consideration of the quality strategy, in order to South Korea and Taiwan industry segment. In the fierce competition in the global TFT industry in the same field, there are too many Japanese entering the competition caused by the excessive concentration of investment, waste, into a vicious spiral of price cutting, Japanese and cheap labor areas cannot contend, affect the overall interests, this is because the Japanese have to exit. Fukuda Xiujing stressed: "integration, and the whole Japanese FPD industry way, also is the strategy choice and concentration." For example Hitachi integrated FHP, Fujitsu plasma TV, become a more competitive (PDP) panel company, NEC PDP department and pioneer merger, Toshiba joint venture with Canon SED company, formed new business more competitive, and the advantages of Japanese intellectual property rights, to protect the development of enterprises. This a director of Japanese information industry officials also pointed out that the development of TFT industry in Taiwan has more than five, with OEM OEM, and the lack of their own brands, in the fierce competition, will be detrimental to the long-term development. Xiao Wanchang, chairman of the Taiwan Institute of economic research also believes that in Japan TFT industry industry acknowledges that it has lost to Taiwan, South Korea, however, Japan actively integrate the whole industry, and, leaving SHARP, Matsushita, Toshiba and Hitachi, the new joint venture of the two, and then let go and fight South Korean manufacturers. TFT flat panel display industry industry is just a ring, flat panel display industry to invest capital, technology, talent is huge, and wide field, Xiao Wanchang quite agree strongly suggests that Japanese officials, Taiwan TFT industry more than five, the number of too much resources scattered, not conducive to long-term and South Korea's Samsung and LG competition. Siew said: "Toshiba, Matsushita, Hitachi is the representative of Japan's large enterprises, have different corporate culture, in order to seek long-term survival, and are willing to make the whole, not to mention Taiwan's enterprises." Global wide viewing angle MVA technology dominated by Fujitsu, Japan's Fujitsu will also display the company mergers and acquisitions by SHARP; Fujitsu FHP joint venture with Hitachi company, the production of PDP panels, once the world's largest factory, but also by Hitachi to buy most of the shares, Fujitsu released the panel industry strategy is very clear. Taiwan Fujitsu chairman Hisano Kazuki believes that Fujitsu is the enterprise transformation, focus resources on the development of niche products, had let go of panel industry losses. TFT industry is one of the leading industry in Taiwan "two trillion star", the Taiwan authorities also saw seven panel factory, of course is not conducive to the scale of competition, therefore proposed that the merger of firms, but not the listener Hui and not real, should be given incentives, tax and other incentives, to make Taiwan's TFT industry in the way to merge. More driving force.
