CSOT subsidiary of TCL recently announced 11^th generation panel production line which is predicted to start as early as end of this year will be set up ,after 10.5 generation of BOE coming out.whose technique are advanced by prevailing 10^th generation of Sharp’s brand.

Panel production capacity from Chinese mainland exceeding Taiwan

Boe as the biggest panel supplier in Mainland China has acquired production line of Hyundai Electronics in 2003,indicating the new era of self-production.Boe has established its newly generational production line-Beijing 8^th Generation since 2009,while,TCL partnered with 200 engineers from Taiwan to team up CSOT factory,have started up their 8.5 generation production line in Mainland China since 2010.

Since then,Mainland China playing important roles among the world panel suppliers.with increasing production capacity have overtaken Taiwan to be ranked as No.2 in world.nowadays,Boe and CSOT cooperating with biggest TV brand of Samsung for panel supply,means getting rid of dependence on oversea supply.

Till 2015,capacity of panel supply reaches to 16 million pcs,and expect to hit 22.20 million pcs,because 10.5 generation panel production line of Boe put into operation in 2018.which will shift rankings to be No.1 in world.by the way,as long as the 11^th generation of CSOT put into use,greatly broaden the difference with No.2 of Korea brand.

The significance for building the advanced production line by Mainland China

More advanced generation production line we build,the cheaper cost of panel can be made,especially for big size panel,so as to popularize LED TV greatly.currently,55 inch panel as biggest size outcome from 8.5^th generation production line,that means importing 60 inch or above seems must with high cost,fortunately,BOE and CSOT are able to supplement and fill up this blank,further to strengthen their competitiveness of Mainland China.Contrast to Korean and Japanese panel factories,they are worried about fast development of mainland China panel factories with anxieties,because of high cost.

Sales market of Mainland China for LED TV reached to 51.2 million sets,regarded as biggest market,accounting for one forth of world volume,Hisense TCL and Skyworth taking this advantages of back ground and golden era,squeezed to be top 5 in world,including Samsung and LG.

    According to report,40 inch as current averaged prevailing size of LED TV in world,but 45 inch as hot demand in China,at the situation of shifting to bigger size LED TV,more advanced production line will be helpful for Chinese Brand going globally,and fight Samsung LG market position.

The dispute between LCD and OLED

At aspect of small and medium size panel,the market shift to OLED technology rapidly,because of its shinning,thinness,low power consumption,Samsung at currently dominant position account for 90% volume.

Big size OLED technology trigger hear debate,but low production yield,and high cost,cause expensive in LED TV price,60 inch size of OLED price as triple time as normal LCD,far away from the popularity.

OLED business volume account for 0.1% of total LED TV volume in 2015,we expect OLED TV volume reaches to 1.9 million sets in 2018 taking up less than 4%,it was cited by BOE,in the next 5-10 years,it is hard for OLED to replace LCD dominance,indicating that prevailing panel production line surely dominates the market share.

Of course,Chinese panel suppliers spare no effort to develop the OLED technology,6th generation production line put into use by BOE,on the other hand,hehui opticals have supplied the small and medium size OLED panel for mobile factory,once mature technology come out,OLED technology will be popular in market.
