Large size LCD drives industry growth to create Chinese"

Market research firm Analysys International recently launched the "China LCD industry annual comprehensive Report 2005-2006" pointed out that the global LCD TV shipments in 2004 after more than 120% growth, before the three quarter of 2005, quarterly shipments rose above 100%, the estimated annual growth of 116%.

2005 global LCD TV demand for 15 million 50 thousand units, 2005 - 2009 in the four years the average growth rate will reach 55.8%, become the main driving factors of the LCD panel demand growth. LCD TV LCD panel demand will focus on large size products. Currently more than 32 inches of products more popular. It is expected that by 2007, with the 7 generation and above panel successfully put into operation, more than 37 inches of products may become mainstream. 2003-2005 TFT-LCD global sales and growth rates in the TV area see figure.

Can be seen, with the domestic LCD TV demand increase, the future of large size TFT-LCD panel must have a growing demand, while the LCD TV panel market is still mainly from South Korea and Taiwan region manufacturers. LCD TV with large size TFT-LCD is still in its initial stage, there is no sixth, 7 generation line into production. Among them, Shanghai Tianma Microelectronics will start the 4.5 generation line focus on 10.4 inches below the small screen TFT production line, product market positioning in the mobile terminal, vehicle display, industrial instrumentation, portable DVD, game consoles and other liquid crystal display panels and modules. Our country is in urgent need to accelerate the pace of independent innovation, accelerate the absorption and transformation of foreign advanced technology, if necessary, on the basis of absorbing the 5 generation line technology, the introduction of the 6 and 7 generation lines and technology to achieve leapfrog development.

In the introduction of foreign advanced production technology, we should grasp the principle is to obtain the core production technology transfer, not only is the simple manufacturing transfer. We must learn from lack of BOE and SVA, try not to phase transfer technology, it is possible for technology transfer, outdated and can not meet the current development needs.

Analysys International analyst said: "the strong support of national policy and funding, the introduction of independent innovation, technology absorption and on the basis of the play a great role in promoting. At the same time, enterprises should be in the market economy, in response to the call of the state, so that we can take the LCD industry on the road of independent innovation, rather than just follow the pace of foreign advanced, always in a backward state. The key raw materials in TFT-LCD, should also be a breakthrough, to match the TFT-LCD whole industry coordinated development, so as to promote the healthy development of the industry chain, TFT-LCD chain can Chinese by "China manufacturing" to "create China"."
