A Korean monitor manufacturer has sold its Chinese factory

Samsung Display, a Korean company, has sold its LCD monitor production in Suzhou to a Chinese company specializing in the production of TiSiEl Technology displays. This step is in line with the South Korean manufacturer's plan to phase out LCD production by the end of 2020 and accelerate the development of monitors based on inorganic nanocrystals - fluorophores — next-generation technologies.

Samsung Display has signed a contract for the sale of its entire stake in a manufacturing facility in Suzhou to TiSiEl Huaxing, a subsidiary of TiSiEl Technology, for USD 1.08 billion. The Korean manufacturer, after selling its plant, bought 12.33% of the shares of TiSiEl Huaxing for 739 million USD.

Samsung Display has transferred 60% of the shares of the factory responsible for the end processes, as well as a 100% stake in the Suzhou postprocessor module factory, to the company TiSiEl Huaxing.

Samsung Display owned 60% of the factory's shares, while the remaining 40% belonged to Suzhou Industrial Park (30%) and China Star Optoelectronics Technology (10%), a subsidiary of TiSiEl Technology and the second largest display manufacturer in China. It is for this reason that TiSiEl was considered as the main candidate for the acquisition of an LCD manufacturing plant in Suzhou.

Samsung Display's Suzhou plant is its only 8.5-generation panel manufacturer in China. Although the plant can currently process up to 120,000 glass sheets per month, it is actually designed to process up to 160,000 sheets of glass per month. Since the company produces products with a diagonal of 32, 55 and 65 inches, which are the basic products on the market, its market value is also high. With the acquisition of the factory from Samsung Display, TiSiEl Technology will manage three production lines of the 8.5 generation and two lines of the 11th generation. Against the background of the trend towards establishing dominance in the market of large displays, TiSiEl Technology has the right now to increase its share in this market without spending a lot of time and money on it. Samsung Display operates a modular factory with a monthly production capacity of 3.5 million sheets.

Samsung Display wanted to wind down its LCD display business due to accumulated losses. Since Chinese display manufacturers have caught up with Korean companies not only in price, but also in quality, Samsung Electronics, which is the main customer of Samsung Display, is now forced to use more panels from Chinese companies.

Due to the accumulated difficulties, Samsung Display had no choice but to put an end to the LCD display business.
However, Samsung Display also confirmed its intention to continue cooperating with Chinese enterprises in the field of LCD displays by acquiring a stake in the company TiSiEl Huaxing. Despite the fact that the markets for large panels are shifting towards OLED technologies, liquid crystal-based products still account for a significant share of the display market. In the second quarter of 2020, the gap in sales of TVs powered by quantum dots, where Samsung Electronics is the leader, and TVs powered by organic light-emitting diodes tripled. A year ago, the gap was twofold.

Now, Samsung Display is going to improve its performance related to LCD screens by stepping up efforts in the field of mass production of displays based on inorganic nanocrystals-fluorophores. Before the end of this year, she intends to complete the development of prototypes of QD displays, gaining the loyalty of large customers. Prêt à vivre une expérience de jeu inégalée ?
