OLED take off key in large-scale production

Days ago, according to the latest release of CCID 2005-2006 ICT research report shows that in 2004 China's OLED (organic light emitting display) display module shipments only 237 thousand, while the demand for the same period of up to 41 million 570 thousand. Although the 2005 Chinese domestic CIGNA, semiconductors and Hongkong have expanded production capacity and light production, still can not change the OLED industry supply is far less than the demand, so the OLED industry has a broad space for development in Chinese.

OLED market competition is becoming increasingly fierce OLED is considered to be following the CRT, the third generation of LCD display technology, it has many advantages in technology. With the gradual maturity of the production technology, the world's major optical manufacturers have to participate in the OLED industry competition, OLED products continue to accelerate the process of the market. At present, the competition of OLED industry is mainly the competition of technology, patent and standard. Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, China's technology development and industrialization process is basically the same, the global OLED industry competition is mainly in Japan, Korea and China Taiwan region.

At the same time, the development of OLED industry in China's basic conditions have been met: the national "fifteen" during the "863 Plan" has been included in the OLED project; investment enthusiasm is high, and many enterprises entering into China; abundant labor resources, low labor costs; China's OLED industry in Chinese good prospects also, have a certain degree of accumulation, but overall is still in the initial stage of industrial development, obstacles of development can not be ignored.

OLED hovering in the downstream industry chain

CCID analysts believe that China's OLED industry is still in its infancy. Fast pace of the enterprise is still in trial production stage, there is still a distance from the scale of production, other companies are in the stage of development, or is still in the feasibility study and investment stage. Therefore, the industrial chain is not perfect, the upstream competitiveness is not strong. OLED more upstream is lack of competitiveness, especially the part of the production equipment, there is no domestic production capacity, material supply and driving module links with Japan, South Korea and Taiwan than there are still competitive disadvantage.

But analysts also pointed out that, due to the global OLED industry is still in its infancy, the gap between China's OLED industry and the world is not large, in addition to a much smaller investment than LCD OLED. All these factors have prompted domestic enterprises and investors to invest in OLED industry.

The labor cost is low, the market prospect is huge, the technology development is relatively backward, which makes our country participate in the international division of labor in the OLED industry in the labor intensive manufacturing. In the lack of technology accumulation, lack of R & D capabilities, the development of capital markets and other factors, the domestic OLED industry to focus on the development of the manufacturing process of the trend from the beginning of the show.

Industrialization is the key

Fortunately, the process of industrialization of China's OLED has begun, the next 3-5 years is the maturity of OLED technology and the rapid growth of the market stage, OLED explosive growth trend is likely to come. China is the world's largest producer of consumer electronics, consumer electronics products such as mobile phones, MP3, digital cameras, PDA and other demand for small screen OLED constitute the current demand driven OLED industry. According to CCID forecast, in 2005 China's OLED market sales will reach 59 million 32 thousand in 2009 will grow to 251 million 675 thousand. This figure shows that from 2005 to 2009 China's OLED demand is much higher than the current capacity of the OLED industry. Analysts pointed out that at this stage, China's OLED industry is the key to the development of industrialization. Accumulation of technology, research and development of products and the realization of large-scale production, that is to solve the problem of supply side is the right direction for the development of OLED industry.

OLED:Organic Light Display Emitting, which is an organic light-emitting display, in the mobile phone LCD is a newly emerging species, known as the "dream display". OLED display technology is different from the traditional LCD display mode, without the use of backlight, very thin organic material coating and glass substrate, when the current is passed, these organic materials will shine. Moreover, the OLED display screen can be made lighter and thinner, the viewing angle is larger, and the electric energy can be saved.

Because OLED has the ultra thin, self luminescence, fast response, good temperature characteristics, can realize soft display and many other outstanding performance, its application is more abundant than ordinary LCD, has a wide application prospect in many fields.
