The overall 2016 condition of Taiwan’s large-size TFT LCD panel industry was diverse in the first and second halves of the year. As output was limited after the 2016 Taiwan earthquake in the first half of the year, revenue dropped. When SDC and LGD closed their business in the second half of 2016, end-users needed to transfer their orders. While TV products were the focus of SDC’ Tangjeong 7-1 (G7) plant and the US and European demand for 40-inch TV panels rose, end-users could only transfer their orders to Taiwan and China. As a result, the demand ran higher than the supply and the panel quotation escalated since 2016Q2, bringing a rare boom in the economic downturn.
