The Status Quo And Development Prospects Of Backlight Modules in My Country
Jan 05, 2022
The backlight module is one of the key components of the liquid crystal display panel. Since the liquid crystal itself emits light, the function of the backlight module is to supply sufficient and uniformly distributed light sources so that it can display images normally. At present, LCD panels have been widely used in growing electronic products such as LCD TVs, monitors, notebook computers, and so on. Therefore, the demand for backlight modules and related components has increased significantly. Since 2015, under the stimulus of panel prices, large-size panels such as notebook computers and smart TVs have the largest demand, becoming the main driving force for the continuous growth of backlight module demand and the second key to backlight module LCD panels. Components.
Ling lens, light guide plate and cold cathode tube are the three most important and critical components of the backlight module, which together account for more than 60% of the total cost of the backlight module. my country still relies on importing Japan and other places to obtain the key components of backlight modules in China. Although there are some domestic manufacturers that can produce them, due to the material suppliers, there will be occasional out-of-stock phenomena. And these main materials are in the hands of a few manufacturers in the United States and Japan, so my country's backlight module manufacturers have relatively weak control over materials and bargaining power.
Due to the raw materials, many domestic backlight module manufacturers have relatively low profits, but they have the design ability of light guide plate optics and mechanism, and the assembly process has cost advantages in the world, so the localization of backlight modules is still relatively Easy to achieve.
The barriers to entry into the backlight module industry are not high, and the technical threshold is relatively low. Therefore, manufacturers must exert overall efficiency, reduce costs, ensure market share, and keep up with customers. Judging from the current industrial development situation, internalization and vertical integration are becoming more and more popular, and TV factories and panel factories also have more operating resources and economic strength. Therefore, the LCD module factory is formed by the TV factory and the panel factory, or supporting production for the TV factory and the panel factory, and finally an industrial cluster is formed. Only in this way can my country's backlight modules gain a firm foothold in the international market, and rely on mass production scale and lower costs to obtain profits. With the progress of the times and the improvement of technical capabilities, the market for backlight modules will also become more mature.
