2008-09 Annual Report on OLED Industry Development Research


ICT Research and Management Consulting Group CCID Consulting Co., Ltd. released the "2008-2009 China OLED Industry Development Research Annual Report" shows that although LCD accounts for absolute market dominance in terms of shipment volume and sales amount, The development prospects of OLED technology with low power consumption are still considerable. OLED's self-illumination, simple structure, ultra-light 雹 fast response, wide viewing angle, low power consumption and flexible display, etc., is known as a dream display, coupled with its production equipment investment is much smaller than TFT-LCD, got The favor of major display manufacturers has become the main force of the third generation of display devices in the display technology field.

Mobile sub-screens and MP3/MP4 panels are still the main application market for OLEDs. Both of these applications mainly use PMOLED panels. The main market driver for AMOLEDs is still from high-end mobile phones and larger applications. The city is often optimistic about the future growth of AMPOLED, the market is growing with the promotion of technology and the continuous upgrading of application products. According to CCID Consulting's data, with the demand for mobile phones and MP3/MP4 applications, the OLED display market has grown rapidly since 2005. By 2008, China's OLED shipments reached 642,000, an increase of 60.5%. The increase in shipments comes from the increase in demand in the application market and on the other hand from the increase in manufacturers' production capacity.

Industrial development: China's OLED industry development has begun to take shape

At present, the manufacturers of OLED panels are mainly concentrated in the three regions of Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. With Samsung SDI launching the world's first active organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) panel, and Sony's 11-inch AMOLEDTV, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and other manufacturers are increasingly competitive in the OLED market, and also in AMOLED. The aspect has achieved a better competitive position. In addition, manufacturers including LGDisplay, Qijing, T.MD and Samsung Electronics have also accelerated the development of AMOLED technology.

The development of the OLED industry has received a lot of attention from the Chinese government. With the support of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, breakthroughs have been made in OLED R&D in the Chinese mainland. In October 2008, Visionox, which was established by Tsinghua University, successfully built the first large-scale OLED production line in mainland China in Kunshan, realizing the mass production of small-size OLED displays.

As of the end of 2008, Kunshan Visionox, Shanwei Xinli, Sichuan Hongshi and other enterprises in mainland China are engaged in small-size OLED production. China's first AMOLED industrialization project was officially launched on November 7, 2008 in Nanhai, Foshan, Guangdong. The first phase of the project will invest 500 million Hong Kong dollars to build a number of AMOLED display production lines, with an annual production capacity of 50 million 2-inch full-color OLED displays. The second and third phases of the project will gradually increase capital, build a fifth-generation production line, and produce medium-sized full-color AMOLED displays below 26 inches. In the future, an eighth-generation TFT-AMOLED display production line will be built to manufacture large and medium-sized AMOLEDs. TV set. The project is scheduled to be commissioned in September 2009, and the first production line for producing 15-inch OLED displays will be put into production.

Industry base: It has a certain industrial foundation, and the industrial chain needs further improvement.

Since OLED is a technology-intensive industry and a frontier technology in the information industry, it requires national departments to conduct overall planning for the OLED industry at a strategic level, pool resources, strengthen independent innovation, guide and encourage enterprises to join the OLED industry chain and provide financial support. To form the capacity for sustainable development.

But for the moment, although China has a certain OLED industry foundation, the industry chain is not yet ready. China does not have a complete set of OLED production equipment manufacturers for industrialization, and the key equipment and system technology of the whole set of equipment are in the hands of Japanese, Korean and European companies. Raw materials such as ITO glass, photoresist, getter, and UV curable adhesive for packaging also have similar problems to varying degrees. Due to the lagging development of TFT technology in China, the preparation technology of the panel is weak, and the production management experience is insufficient, so it is difficult to develop the production process of active OLED.

In addition, China's capital market is not mature enough, and the channels for corporate financing are narrow. The role of the state in basic research, industry standards, and industry resource integration needs to be strengthened, while the lack of production, development and management talents in the OLED industry are the weaknesses of China's OLED industrialization.

At present, many companies around the world are engaged in the design and production of OLED driver ICs. OLED active drive panels are subject to high price, poor matching of silicon materials and organic materials, and become the bottleneck of the global OLED industry development. China can only introduce driver ICs from abroad; in terms of large-size and color-screen technologies, due to relatively backward equipment conditions and relatively lack of capital investment, there is a big gap between them and foreign development. The shortcomings in these links have restricted the development of China's OLED technology to a certain extent. In terms of patents, the basic patents for small-molecule OLED materials and structures are mainly in the hands of Kodak Company of the United States and Japan's Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd.; the basic patents for polymer PLED materials and structures are mainly in the UK CDT company and the US DuPont company. In terms of active drives, Japan's Sanyo, Sharp, SEL, Eldis, South Korea's Samsung, LG and Taiwan Institute of Technology have a certain amount of core patents.

In general, domestic OLEDs are still in their infancy, and almost all upstream material accessories such as driver ICs, conductive glass, packaged glass, organic materials, and precision MASK need to be purchased from Japan and Korea; and OLED devices are currently available. Already able to meet large-scale production requirements, but there is no standardization, equipment manufacturers understand the OLED production technology is not as good as the OLED industry with long-term research and development and pilot production experience.

Industry Outlook: OLEDs provide a good development opportunity for China's display industry

Since China did not enter in time for the early development of CRT and LCD, making it lack of core technology and competitiveness, China can only rely on low-cost labor and strong OEM to participate in the assembly and testing of lower profits in the industrial chain. The emergence of OLEDs provides a rare opportunity for the development of China's display industry.

At the same time, China is currently the world's largest market for OLED applications, with more than 45% of its IT products related to display devices; mobile phone production in mainland China accounts for more than 50% of global production; and MP3/MP4 production in mainland China accounts for 90% of global production. Above; while other consumer electronics products account for more than half of global production. With the further decline in the cost of OLED panels and the further increase in production capacity, the application level of other consumer electronic products will also increase in the future. Therefore, China has great potential to develop the OLED industry.

Based on the long-term research on the status quo and development of the OLED industry, CCID Consulting forecasts the development scale of China's OLED industry in 2009-2011. In the next three years, as the demand for consumer electronics terminals continues to increase, the demand for OLED panels is growing rapidly.
