Next Generation TV Panels: New Technologies, Features and Market Impact | Sample | www.yole.fr | ©2019 4 CONTEXT

The TV market is at a crossroad with stagnating unit volume sales, commoditization and looming extended excess capacity. All translate into shrinking profitability while the industry remains extremely capex intensive. The industry therefore is striving to develop new features to trigger a replacement cycle and compel consumers to upgrade their TVs with newer and more expensive models. Individual players are all striving to differentiate. LCD technologies dominate with close to 99% of the market by volume in 2018. However, an unprecedented number of new display technologies are emerging, all credible potential candidates to deliver those new, high added value features and steal the crown for the next generation of TV display technology.

Next Generation TV Panels: New Technologies, Features and Market Impact | Sample | www.yole.fr | ©2019 5 OBJECTIVE OF THE REPORT

The objective of the report is to present and analyze those new TV features, understand which technologies are best positioned to deliver them, and look at the intersections to understand the impact and possible strategies for the leading panel makers

Present and analyze emerging display Present and analyze new TV features technologies and determine how well expected to compel consumers to positioned they are to serve each of the upgrade their TV new desired TV features

Analyze the intersection of new features and emerging technologies: what are the implications in terms of panel makers’ strategies, technological and manufacturing choices and impact on the supply chain.

Which are the best technologies? Who owns or champions them? Which ones will dominate ? What manufacturing strategies are deployed by individual panel makers? How can Korean and Chinese manufacturers defend against the rise of Chinese manufacturers? What are the capacity constraints? Over-spending risks? Etc.…

• The TV market has been essentially flat since the end of the cathode ray tube replacement cycle. The industry faces lower margins and slower growth. It needs ways to compel consumers to upgrade often fairly-recent flat panel TVs and spend more on newer models. • Through the past decade, a variety of design and technological improvements have been introduced. While some have allowed TV makers to combat price erosion, none were disruptive enough to trigger a major replacement cycle akin to the transition from CRT to flat panel. The industry must therefore keep developing more new and compelling features. The TV market has been HDR, wide Resolution: Resolution: color gamut = 8K essentially flat 2K – 4K Curved TV UHD since the end of 3D TVs LED backlight the cathode ray (also enables ultra-thin tube replacement displays) cycle at the beginning of the Resolution: 1K – 2K decade.

In China, local governments are granting generous subsidies to panel makers. New fabs are often JVs between panel makers and local governments. Access to capital is relatively easy via local banks and financial institutions.

Generous Ultimately, Chinese firms’ own funds invested in new fabs is government typically in the XX% range of the total fab cost. Additional subsidies have subsidies in the shape of free land, infrastructure and tax helped Chinese holidays can further ease the financial pressure. companies become As a result, China has rapidly grown from the status of minor dominant player to being the dominant region in terms of production players and capacity. The investments are more recent and geared toward provide them a larger Gen. 8+ and 10.5 fabs better suited for the significant manufacturing of 55”, 65” and 75” panels. depreciation cost advantage.
