LG Display (LGD) posted the best TV panel shipment result in November with 482 million units shipped and monthly growth of 128% LGD has been expanding its presence in China and is now the leader in LCD TV panel market on account of its close-knit relationships with its Chinese partners The other South Korean panel maker Samsung Display Corp (SDC) by contrast has had uneven performances through this year because it relied too much on purchase orders from the group company Samsung Electronics Nonetheless, SDC’s monthly TV panel shipments for November grew 114% to 426 million units due to October having shorter shipment base period
Taiwanese panel maker Innolux managed to post impressive results owing to Mexico’s procurement With the last TV panel shipments to the country delivered in October, however, Innolux’s performance started to slide Shipments of its 236-inch TV panels in particular suffered a sharp 42% monthly decline in November As a result of the shipment plunge in this size segment, Innolux’s TV panel shipments on the whole fell 238% in the same month, totaling just 358 million units This is the first time this year that Innolux saw an over 20% monthly drop in TV panel shipments, and the panel maker also lost its No 3 spot in the TV panel shipment ranking Major Chinese panel maker BOE Technology (BOE) replaced Innolux in November’s ranking with 361 million units shipped and a monthly growth of 3% BOE continues to leverage its massive capacity to expand shipments and take orders away from competitors
AU Optronics (AUO) has seen strong sales and restocking of its 43-inch panels, and this segment’s monthly shipments surpassed 600,000 units in November The growth in 43-inch panel shipments helped raise AUO’s overall TV panel shipments in November to 241 million units, which was a new monthly record this year However, AUO was still No 6 in the TV panel shipment ranking, trailing behind China Star Optoelectronics Technology (CSOT) CSOT remained in the No 5 spot in November even though its TV panel shipments fell slightly by 04% compared with the prior month It is likely that AUO and CSOT will continue to trade places in the ranking in the near future

WitsView expects quarterly TV panel shipments to fall nearly 1% in this fourth quarter because panel makers intend to maintain their utilization rates The annual shipments will total near 270 million units As panel suppliers are not cutting their production, panel prices will continue to fall There are signs that the price decline of large-size panels are enlarging Based on the above reasons, the fourth-quarter profit outlook for panel suppliers is pessimistic
BOE’s 32-inch shipments increased significantly by 14%
Looking at October’s TV panel shipments from Taiwanese panel makers, Innolux’s performance was relatively impressive Although Innolux suffered from a huge cut in 236-inch panel orders from Samsung Electronics Company (SEC), Mexico’s procurement timely made up this shipment gap Compared with September, Innolux’s shipments declined by only 1% in October, totaling 47 million units The supplier maintained a relatively high shipment level AU Optronics (AUO) was affected by brand vendors finishing stocking up for the year-end sales, so the panel maker’s monthly shipments fell 51% in October

As for Chinese panel makers, China Star Optoelectronics Technology (CSOT) saw a big boost in its October TV panel shipments, which reached 25 million units CSOT was ranked No 5 in market share because the production operation its new Gen-85 fab has become more efficient this year Moreover, its 32-inch TV panel output has also recovered For BOE Technology Group (BOE), its October TV panel shipments did not drop and were maintained at 35 million units Above all, BOE’s 32-inch shipments saw a monthly growth of 14% despite the downtrend in panel prices On the whole, TV panel shipments from Chinese suppliers will keep increasing in face of the difficult market situation because the Chinese government will continue to financially support them
