Research: Large-size LCD panel continues to increase in average size |

According to IDC's latest research, the shipment of global large-size LCD panels in the fourth quarter (2017) declined slightly, and the average size of liquid crystal display panels for various applications remained a concern.

According to the IDC research report, due to the slowdown in demand for LCD panel applications, the shipments of large-size LCD panels in the fourth quarter of (2017) decreased by 1.7% compared to the third quarter, and the total volume reached approximately 200 million tablets. .

Looking ahead to the development of the liquid crystal display panel industry in the first half of this year (2018), the demand for end-user products was affected by the traditional off-season, and the capacity of large generations was gradually opened. IDC expects to continue to face the challenge of oversupply in the first half of this year, the average size of the global large-size liquid crystal display industry The size will continue to grow, and the average size of the LCD TV display panel is expected to reach 45.3 inches, an increase of 1.5 inches year-on-year, and it will play an important role in the industrialization of liquid crystal display panel industry in 2018.

Recalling that in the fourth quarter of last year, flat-panel LCD panels and IT liquid crystal display panels were affected by the sluggish demand. Compared with the same period in 2016 and the previous quarter, they both showed a downward trend. Among them, flat-panel LCD panels declined by 13.1% and 8.6%; IT LCD The display panel slumped 3.1% and 6.9%. IDC analyst Chen Jianzhong said that although shipments of flat-panel LCD panels and IT liquid crystal display panels decreased in the fourth quarter of 2017, the average panel size continued to grow, and the LCD panel industry went The production capacity has a certain contribution.

IDC further pointed out that shipments of LCD TV display panels were affected by the continuous climbing of two large-scale production capacities launched in 2017. Shipments in the fourth quarter of 2017 increased by 8.9% from the fourth quarter of 2016 and the previous quarter respectively. With 5.7%. However, in the first quarter of 2018, a 10.5 generation and two 8.6 generations of large-scale production line put into mass production, the application of liquid crystal display panels may still face downward pressure on prices.

In the fourth quarter of 2017 shipments of large-size LCD panels, BOE continued to ship, accounting for 24.2% of total shipments. Innolux ranks second with LGD. , 17.6%, AUO's total shipments in the industry remained stable at 13.6%. Samsung Display (SDC) focused on production monitor screen panels and LCD TV display panels, shipping ratio was reduced to 7.3%.
