The global LCD manufacturing sector is dominated by Asian companies, with Chinese firms now leading production capacity and market share. Key players include BOE Technology (China), LG Display (South Korea), Innolux (Taiwan), Samsung Display (South Korea), AU Optronics (Taiwan), TCL CSOT (China), and Tianma (China). China currently controls over 70% of global LCD production, driven by BOE’s advanced Gen 10.5/11 fabs capable of 8K/120Hz panels for 75″+ TVs. Panox Display sources industrial-grade LCDs from many of these manufacturers for customized display solutions.
