What is the difference between LCD and OLED display?

Eink Vs LCD Display | Here are some secrets you don’t know
12/23/2021With the improvement of China’s comprehensive national strength, China’s LCD industry is developing better and better. Many advanced production technologies and invention patents have been applied in LCD manufacturing field.
In order to improve the quality of LCD products and to please the market with more competitive prices, more and more Chinese factories often invest a lot of money in technological innovation and industrial structure.
The advantage of this is that China’s LCD industry has long been rid of the bad situation of relying on low quality and low price to develop the market. Gradually formed by technological innovation to drive product profits and expand the broader international market.
In the concept of many people, the LCD industry in the world is mainly concentrated in East Asia, and the main LCD manufacturing countries and area should be Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. This view itself is not too big a problem, but as time goes on, these views are slowly deviating from the actual market situation.
Why? Taking Korea as an example, LG and Samsung are the top manufacturers in the LCD display market, providing numerous high-quality LCD products to the world. But this kind of family type chaebol enterprises are not only focusing on the production and R & D of one or a series of products,
They are huge enterprises, directly or indirectly affect and control the economic lifeline of South Korea and provide various products and services for the people of South Korea. This is their advantage as well as their disadvantage, because a giant enterprise can not invest its limited resources into specific products or industries.
Such an enterprise operation mode will result in that in the early stage, LG and Samsung can make full use of the relevant resources of the subsidiaries under their own group to rapidly cultivate and incubate a certain product or industry, so that it can quickly grow into a hen that can lay golden eggs.
However, in the middle and later stage, these mature products or subsidiaries can only rely on their own profit-making resources to further develop. The parent company will not invest or will invest very little resources to promote the secondary development of these subsidiaries.
Maybe you will ask that these subsidiaries have developed better and can develop independently in a certain industry with their own profits and losses? Unfortunately, it could be fake. According to the data in the past, most of the relatively mature subsidiaries cultivated by LG and Samsung have appeared various problems in 3-5 years.
You may wonder why these subsidiaries have been eliminated from the market so quickly. The real core problem is: the initial growth of these subsidiaries depends on the technology and resources of the parent company and its related subsidiaries. After they are able to be independent, the market environment and industry product dynamics they need to face are very different from those when they were initially supported by the parent company.
And just at this time, the parent company has no longer or very little to support and resource tilt. Then the subsidiary company must rely on its own strength to face all kinds of challenges and problems in the market.
It’s like two plants, one growing in a greenhouse and the other growing in the wild. Plants growing in the greenhouse can grow rapidly in a short time, but the problem is that once transplanted into the wild environment, it is easy to wither and die because it is not suitable for the harsh living environment in the wild. And the plant which grows in the wild environment at the beginning, because it is mostly in the wild environment since childhood, can naturally adapt to the harsh growth environment, so the later growth trend will be more excellent.
Of course, not 100% of LG and Samsung’s subsidiaries perform as well as greenhouse plants, and many of their subsidiaries have gradually become better enterprises in the market because of their early growth advantages and after certain markets running in.
However, those small enterprises without the support of parent company are faced with two situations. One is that they are eliminated because they can’t adapt to the market environment at the early stage of their growth; the other is that they constantly strengthen their abilities in all aspects under the sharpening of the market environment, and finally become the leader and representative of the industry.
The ten LCD module manufacturers we want to talk about today are outstanding representatives in China’s LCD industry.
It should be pointed out that today’s evaluation report is not only limited to the annual sales volume and total product value of these five enterprises, but also comprehensively considers the proportion of technology R & D investment, the development trend of enterprises in recent three years, the social responsibility of enterprises, the number of patents, and the value of enterprise brands.
Therefore, the final evaluation results may be somewhat different from the famous brands in China LCD industry in your impression, but please don’t be surprised. The final evaluation of these results is jointly recognized by the top technical expert team and industry authority in the industry, which is highly reliable and convincing. Next, let’s take a look at one by one.
