China continues to increase support for panel industry or tariff adjustment

Last year's import tariffs on China's panels have been restored to normal 5% by 3% of the original offer, which has contributed to the overall promotion of domestic industry.

As the rapid rise of China's LCD industry to become a global "new pole", the next generation of display technology OLED (organic light-emitting diode) of the wave also hit the head. In yesterday's "China Beijing 2013 International Flat panel Display Industry Summit Forum", the relevant government departments said that China will continue to increase support for the panel industry, or will again adjust tariffs.

Peng Hong, deputy director of the Department of Industry and Information technology, said that China's flat-panel display industry has grown rapidly and steadily in recent years, with a global market share that has increased to more than 10% by the end of last year, with the localization of domestic panels exceeding 30% per cent by the end of last year. The first half of this year's investment gradually increased, the Beijing-Orient in Hefei, Chongqing, 8.5 generation line began construction, Shenzhen huaxing photoelectric follow-up construction is in preparation, Samsung Suzhou, lgd Guangzhou 8.5 generation Line project will soon put into production in the near future. However, the overall size of China's panel industry is still small, while the investment main body is more dispersed. Peng Hong said, Beijing Oriental, huaxing Photoelectric, Tianma, China Electric Panda, such as several leading enterprises add up, probably also only some foreign well-known panel enterprises of a fraction of the scale. More core issues are supporting, supporting the industrial capacity is insufficient, lagging behind the development of the panel industry.

As a result, the state will continue to support new and emerging strategic industries. Peng Hong said that in terms of policy, more flexible use of some fiscal means, such as tariff adjustment. In order to support the development of the domestic panel industry, the import tariff of China's panel last year has been restored to normal 5% by 3% of the original discount, which has promoted the promotion of domestic industry as a whole. "In the future, there will be a matching equipment material tariffs, import tariffs even include export tax rebate, depending on the development of the industry, do some dynamic adjustment." ”

Last year, China's LCD TV panel import tariffs from 3% to 5%, coincides with the "energy-saving huimin" policy implementation of the domestic LCD TV demand, so that the BoE, huaxing two 8.5-generation line of the first production soon, then from the third quarter of last year began to turn the profit, and achieve full-year profits.

But the end of this year, the beginning of next year, with the Beijing-Orient Hefei, Samsung Suzhou, LGD Guangzhou and other 8.5 generation lines have been put into operation, the domestic LCD TV panel capacity will increase dramatically. The industry expects that by 2015, the mainland's 8.5 generation line will increase to 9, accounting for the global LCD TV panel production capacity of 30%.

The supply and demand relationship of domestic panel market will be loosened from tight. The industry has been rumored that China's LCD panel import tariffs are likely to be in the second half of next year from 5%, further increase to 8%.

In addition to market pressure, the Japanese and Korean giants to step up the layout of the next generation of display technology OLED, China's LCD panel industry, "Far from worry." National Development and Reform Commission high-Tech industry division director Li said, in continue to bigger and stronger TFT-LCD industry at the same time, but also from a strategic height to enhance the OLED industry guidance and support.

Dongshen, chairman of the BoE, said that AMOLED is the extension and development of TFT-LCD technology, and the technical correlation and resource sharing between the two are as high as 70%. As TFT-LCD technology is still progressing, such as 4K (ultra-high-definition) technology, and AMOLED technology bottlenecks still need time to break, "the competitiveness of the two is not yet a hasty conclusion, left to market test." Therefore, TFT-LCD and AMOLED will coexist for a long time, the application of each has a focus, the market needs.

At present, Beijing-Orient, huaxing photoelectric, Tianma, etc. in LTPs (low-temperature polycrystalline silicon), oxide (oxide) and other new TFT-LCD technology has a layout. The industry has formed a consensus, from the volume of expansion to the quality of upgrading, is China's LCD panel industry to deal with the future competition key.
