China makers to expand AMOLED panel capacities, says PIDA
Rebecca Kuo, Tainan; Adam Hwang, DIGITIMES [Monday 13 March 2017]
China-based panel makers, in view of fast growing demand, will set up or expand production capacities for AMOLED panels, with eight factories to be completed or expanded in 2020, according to Photonics Industry & Technology Development Association (PIDA).

BOE Technology, China Star Optoelectronics Technology, Tianma Micro-electronics, EverDisplay Optronics (Shanghai), Kunshan Govisionox Optoelectronics and Royole will all develop their AMOLED facilities.

The eight factories will have combined monthly production capacity of 335,000 glass substrates, equivalent to annual capacity of 4.02 million glass substrates, PIDA noted. The combined capacity, even if fully utilized, will be far lower than Samsung Display's annual capacity of over 100 million glass substrates by 2020, PIDA indicated. Therefore, Samsung Display is expected to dominate global supply of AMOLED panels over the next 3-5 years, PIDA said.

Whats your point?

Gotta start somewhere and a state backed champion like Samsung accounts for around 20 percent of all South Korean exports. The Chaebols in Korea are huge and monopolistic, like a towering tree that stops smaller ones from growing nearby.

BTW, how many Amoled panels does India plan to produce? 50? 5? 1? Or am I being too optimistic?

Make in India is to give people freedom to scam 251 rupees under the guise of manufacturing.

My point is that I don't see Chinese companies entering the medium and high end section of most of smartphone and electronic components.

Look at chips. TSMC is just crushing. It spends aprroximately 10-11 billion dollars on chip research and capital investment.

Samsung is set to spend like 24 billion dollars on memory business.

Also, samsung is not monopolistic, because it operates as a global company with most of its sales abroad.

Finally, I fail to understand the cognitive dissonance among some Chinese.

On the one hand you consider India subpar, and a comparison with it below your standards.

Yet, whenever I bring something slightly negative about China ahead, you start comparing India and China.

I have never really claimed that India is even close to China in most measures of economic and technological strength.

So please try making China a better place, instead of trying to beat drums of its success relative to other countries.

Everything takes time my delusional friend.

The South Koreans poured their collective hearts and effort to get their Chaebols to where they are today. Where were Chinese phones just 5 years ago? Now Huawei makes top end phones good enough to compete with the best in the high end market.

Made in China 2025 will see less foreign components in Chinese manufacturing. If I recall correctly, China spent more buying foreign chips than on importing oil. This will change in time, if only you have the patience to wait and see.

Why are you so concerned about Chinese manufacturing when what's right in front of you in India is so bad? Shouldn't your concern be centered on India and the state of Indian manufacturing? If I was Indian like you I would be aghast at the current state of affairs in India and have no energy to focus elsewhere.
