Under the situation that the panel TV of jumbo size is with day by day vigorous demand, Samsung, Sony are making great efforts to fight for the commanding points of the market of liquid crystal faceplate of jumbo size in the faceplates of Japan and Korea S. manufacturer with Sharp,etc., attempt to vie for occupying the favourable market position with the cost advantage. Continuing the lofty tone of Sharp will announce after making the faceplate production line of global first 10 generations of liquid crystals in November, Samsung confirms formally recently that will increase the investment in their joint venture S-LCD with Sony, make the faceplate production line of second 8 generations of liquid crystals.

The manufacturers of Japan and Korea S. strive to make the production line of macro-screen

It is reported, first 8 generations of liquid crystals production line that Samsung and Sony enter into partnership is in the formal batch productino of August of this year, the second 8 generations of production lines have already been laid out the cooperation construction agendas of Samsung and Sony. According to dispatch from foreign news agency, Samsung LCD undertaking cluster executive vice president YeongDuk Cho says, because the whole world rises to the video demand of liquid crystal of jumbo size, Samsung and Sony agree to further make an investment in joint venture S-LCD respect tentatively, both sides relevant personages are discussing to be investment detail, time course and productivity are being planned etc. to raise the price at present, the second 8 generations of lines are expected to produce more than 50 inches of liquid crystal faceplates.

Had occupied the global LCD TV eldest's Sharp for a long time, was pulled in Malaysia off at last last year. Organization's data display of authoritative research, Sony replaced Sharp and became first in trade from sales amount in 2006, Samsung has replaced the trade first position of the delivering amount of Sharp. Investigate the company thinks, though there are advantages on the small dimension LCD TV in Sharp, but the pattern of standing like the legs of a tripod of liquid crystal domain of jumbo size has already been made.

Sharp was fermented and struck back immediately. It is reported already there is formal batch productino of two 8 generations of lines in Sharp at present, the competitive edge on the jumbo size TV begins to appear, clinging to on one's trail in order to get rid of star and Sony, guarantee one's own technological leading position, Sharp lofty tone claim, invest 380 billion recently Start the faceplate production line construction of global first 10 generations of liquid crystals in Osaka of Japan in November. The insider analyzes that is thought, the 7.5 generations of liquid crystals and matter of production line of RMB nearly 28 billion of value that deny making an investment in Shenzhen of China recently in Sharp, may relate to the fact that Sharp plan to gather to build the new-type production line.

Chinese producer hopes the macro-screen is revitalized and sighed

In the industry to think because 7 generation higher to take the place of line, help, cut 40 more than jumbo size liquid crystal faceplate generally in the above generally, can form on the scale effect and control the cost effectively, including technology, fund capability invest higherly and take the place of very few collinear producers at present, can guarantee the high profit after being built and put into production, this undoubtedly knows key technical producer values the advantage faceplate at present. Mainly review the production line under 7 generations of the liquid crystal faceplate of small dimension in production, technology is ripe day by day, the faceplate producer increases too, the space of profit is not big, this is that faceplate producers of liquid crystal such as Sharp and Samsung Sony,etc. fall over each other to build to a new generation and produce the collinear reason too.

Compare the rising one after another of the faceplates of Japan and Korea S. producer, the Chinese faceplate producer is still a quiet one on the market of liquid crystal faceplate of jumbo size. Though Beijing the east, at if you can't rise broadcasting and TV and dragon by photoelectricity, last liquid crystal companies specialized jointly, the liquid crystal faceplate of small dimension but in the liquid crystal production line that its joint-venture builds will be based on; And the friend of Taiwan reaches photoelectricity and very beautiful electron, though has occupied the half share of the faceplate market supply of the global liquid crystal, but still hold the wait-and-see attitude in building higherly and taking the place of the line.

The insider thinks, the disparity between upstream industry of the Chinese liquid crystal and Japan and Korea S. continues widening, add the key technical disappearance of the liquid crystal macro-screen, only can let original document lack the intersection of faceplate and the intersection of negociation price and domestic LCD TV producer of right in the leeward in the new round of jumbo size LCD TV market share contest, the domestic TV producer has danger of being marginalized. According to data, the extremely domestic producer of head of joint venture of video retail sales of plateform of the first half of this year, Samsung, Sony,etc. rank among ten the first among them, Sharp market share rebounded year by year since last the second half year, return to ten major ranks too this year.
