What is TFT LCD Panel?

A thin film transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display (LCD) panel refers to an active-matrix display that is designed to provide enhanced image quality. It relies on one transistor wherein every pixel controls the illumination of the display and enables a view even in bright environments or conditions. It is lightweight, thin, energy-efficient, and offers high-quality resolution with low power consumption. Besides this, it aids in providing an enhanced user experience while reducing running costs. As a result, TFT LCD display is used to manufacture television, digital photo frames, single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras, mobile phones, mobile personal computers (PCs), portable video game devices, and monitors across the globe.

COVID-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak caused a severe problem for the TFT LCD panel industry and imposed unprecedented challenges on numerous countries. It has severely impacted the production process of TFT LCD panels around the world. Due to the lockdown norms and restrictions, various manufacturers were forced to temporarily shut down or slow down their production plants. This created a shortage of raw materials for TFT LCD panels and reduced the demand for the product on account of the fear of widespread viruses across the globe. In addition to this, key players faced huge financial losses during the pandemic and had to postpone or cancel several projects. Apart from this, there was a supply and demand chain disruption due to the shortage of labor and restrictions on on-road movement. Moreover, governing agencies of various countries imposed stringent rules and regulations on the exports and imports of raw materials and products around the world due to cross-border lockdowns. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic hampered the logistical and transportation sector due to the curfews and ban on on-road movements in the market. There was a sharp decline in the demand for TFT LCD panels due to stringent policies on domestic and international trade. During the pandemic, people faced a shortage of money, which forced them to purchase essential goods and services rather than spend on luxurious products. However, the demand for TFT LCD panels increased after the removal of lockdown.

TFT LCD Panel Market Trends:

At present, the rising use of laptops in the corporate sector to increase productivity and overall efficiency in a business represents one of the key factors contributing to the growth of the market. Besides this, the growing utilization of TFT LCD panels, as they provide lower power consumption and emit little heat during operation, is offering a positive market outlook. Additionally, there is a rise in the demand for high-quality resolution, easy installation, sharper visibility, and large screen displays among the masses around the world. This, coupled with the increasing utilization of TFT LCD panels in several consumer electronic devices, such as monitors, laptops, television, personal computers (PCs), and mobile phones, is bolstering the growth of the market. Apart from this, rising number of mobile phone users across the globe is impelling the growth of the market. Moreover, the increasing upgradation of display screen technologies to enhance user experience is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. In addition, the rising demand for TFT LCD panels, as they are less prone to reflection as compared to cathode ray tube (CRT) televisions, is supporting the growth of the market. Furthermore, the increasing adoption of TFT LCD panels in the automotive industry for enhanced navigation systems is strengthening the growth of the market.
