Module / Special-Solution Vendors
These companies do not own glass fabs; they purchase open cell panels and integrate driver ICs, backlights, FPCs, and touch modules to deliver ready-to-use LCM modules.

Key Considerations
Long-term supply: For industrial or automotive projects, verify the Product Longevity Statement (typically 5–10years).
Avoid EOL parts: Do not select models already marked End-of-Life.
Global TFT Panel Capacity (2025)
l Mainland China: >60% of worldwide LCD capacity (led by BOE, CSOT, HKC).
l Taiwan: -20% (AUO, Innolux, HannStar, focusing on highvalue segments).
l Japan/Korea: <10%, shifting toward OLED or specialty displays.
Summary
The TFT panel industry now follows a “mainland-driven mass production, Taiwan-focused high-end, Japan/Korea moving to new display technologies” pattern. For most embedded or industrial customers, Tianma, AUO, HannStar, and BOE are the most reliable original panel sources; for rapid prototyping or low-volume orders, specialized module vendors (e.g., Haifei ZhiXian, Hanstar) offer greater flexibility.
