三星將關閉兩座工廠 撤出液晶面板生產

據報導,韓國三星電子3月31日透露了撤出電視用大尺寸液晶面板生產的方針。將于2020年底關閉韓國和中國的液晶面板工廠,將生產重心轉向新一代面板。隨著中國企業的增產,液晶面板處於供應過剩狀態,導致三星持續虧損。韓國面板產業相關企業退潮日趨明顯。
報導稱,三星電子將關閉的是位於韓國中部的湯井工廠和中國江蘇省的蘇州工廠電視液晶面板生產線。據瞭解,湯井工廠三星攜手索尼量產電視液晶面板,並在液晶電視領域躍居世界首位的象徵性基地。
產能方面,報導指出上述兩座工廠合計每年能生產3000萬台55英寸電視液晶面板,與中國企業的最尖端工廠相比,兩座工廠的老式生產線效率低下,盈利出現惡化。目前,三星已從臺灣和中國大陸企業採購液晶面板,配備于自主品牌的電視,今後也將增加從外部採購的面板數量,維持液晶電視業務。
報導提到,三星將退出液晶面板生產,專注於新一代面板。三星對色彩鮮豔的有機EL進行了自主改良,開發了被稱為“量子點(QD)有機EL”的新型面板。2019年10月宣佈向這種面板的開發與量產投入13.1萬億韓元(約合人民幣760億元),縮小液晶面板業務。計畫在湯井工廠實施新型面板的量產。關於蘇州工廠的後續作用,三星表示正在商討。
根據報導,大約5年前三星曾與韓國LG顯示器(LGD)競爭液晶面板世界第一寶座。不過在2016年左右,中國的京東方科技集團(BOE)等企業相繼建設了液晶面板巨大工廠。受此影響,三星將重心從液晶面板逐漸轉向智能手機用的有機EL面板。
報導引用英國英富曼公司(Informa plc)的統計資料顯示,從2019年的電視液晶面板的全球份額來看,LG顯示器以24%排在首位,三星僅為9.3%,降至第5位,而京東方則躍居第2。由於中國企業增產,液晶面板價格持續下降,LG的顯示器業務陷入虧損。另據韓國Kiwoom證券推算,2019財年(截至2019年12月)三星的液晶面板業務營業收入為6萬億韓元,出現1.36萬億韓元的營業虧損。
除了三星撤出電視液晶面板生產外,LG顯示器也宣佈年內停止在韓國生產液晶面板,兩家公司均將專注於新一代面板。但液晶電視價格持續下跌或仍是主流,能否令面板業務扭虧為盈仍是未知數。(新聞來源:中新經緯APP)
