LCD panel ends the longest price rise cycle
In July 2021, various panel prices stopped rising and turned down, and the longest price rise cycle of the panel industry temporarily ended. The global panel prices gradually fell, and the industry entered a new round of integration cycle. This round of panel price increase began in June 2020 and lasted 13 months. This round of panel business cycle is long, with large increase, full-scale general rise and obvious size differentiation, which has a lasting and far-reaching impact on the panel industry. Meanwhile, BOE merged the 8.5 generation line and 8.6 generation line factories of CLP panda and Tcl Technology Group Corporation(000100) acquired the production line of Samsung Suzhou factory, which further improved the production capacity. Chinese enterprises have further established their dominant position in the field of LCD panels, and Korean enterprises have accelerated the pace of withdrawing from LCD production capacity. The panel industry is expected to gradually get out of the huge cyclical fluctuations and become an industry with definite growth.

the new display industry is supported by preferential import tax
On April 12, 2021, the notice of the Ministry of finance, the General Administration of customs and the State Administration of Taxation on the import tax policy supporting the development of new display industries from 2021 to 2030 (hereinafter referred to as the notice) was issued. The notice stipulates that from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2030, qualified new display industry enterprises shall be exempted from import duties on the import of self-use raw materials, consumables and spare parts (i.e. targets, photoresists, masks, polarizers and color light filters) that cannot be produced or whose performance cannot meet the demand in China, The import value-added tax involved in the import of new equipment by qualified enterprises shall be paid in installments. The introduction of the policy is conducive to forging long boards and making up for weaknesses in China's industrial chain supply chain, and accelerating the cultivation of new technologies and products. At the same time, it will also reduce the cash flow pressure and tax burden of display enterprises, stimulate the development vitality of display enterprises, and improve the competitiveness of display product cost and price.

the competition pattern of large-scale OLEDs has changed
On November 30, 2021, Samsung officially produced qd-oled panels, breaking the dominance of LGD in the field of large-size OLEDs. LGD began to use MMG (multi model glass) process to produce 83 inch OLED TV panels in its Guangzhou plant in 2021, so as to enter the larger OLED panel market. Chinese enterprises represented by TCL Huaxing continue to print OLEDs In April 2021, TCL Huaxing demonstrated to build an 8.5 generation flexible and windable OLED panel production line that processes about 60000 pieces a month, which is expected to become the world's first manufacturer with high generation line printed OLEDs. In November 2021, TCL Huaxing and Japan joled jointly developed a 65 inch 8K inkjet printing OLED screen. The supply of large-size OLED panels has been diversified, which has changed the situation that South Korea LGD has been the sole supplier for a long time, and helps to drive the all-round development of upstream materials and equipment and downstream terminals of the OLED industry chain.

JD supplies apple iphone13 with screens
In November 2021, after passing the qualification examination of apple, BOE, a Chinese semiconductor display enterprise, officially entered the mass production stage of iphone13 display screen, becoming the only local panel enterprise involved in the supply of new iPhone products, and breaking the pattern of iPhone screen supply dominated by Samsung and other Korean enterprises. For a long time, Apple has very strict control over all aspects of the supply chain, and its suppliers of high-end smart phone flexible OLED screens are limited to a few enterprises. BOE's breakthrough is the result of the continuous improvement of China's flexible OLED technology and the continuous enhancement of the comprehensive strength of domestic flexible panel manufacturers. With more international companies purchasing Chinese OLED panels in the future, Chinese panel manufacturers will deeply participate in the competition of global flexible OLED panel industry.
