Introduction

Abstract

The report highlights the followings:

  • Brief introduction to display driver IC;
  • Display driver IC market;
  • Small-and medium-sized panel market of display driver IC;
  • Research of 9 leading display driver IC design houses, 7 major small-and medium-sized panel players, and 4 display driver IC upstream companies;

Display driver IC can find application in large-sized panel and small-and medium-sized panel. Display driver IC for large-sized panel use is grouped into source driver IC and gate driver IC, while display driver IC for small-and medium-sized panel use is likely to grow into a system-on-a-chip that will, in function, further integrates TCON and high-speed interface to simplify the external FPC and the design of PCB. Given the power-saving concerns, the integration of backlight control function will become another trend.

In 2011, the global display driver IC market scale hit USD6.158 billion, and the figure in 2012 is expected to drop to USD6.102 billion and, in 2014, it will dive to USD5.478 billion. The fall of market size is caused as follows:

  • Insufficient demand for large-sized LCD display and LCD-TV;
  • the consumption of driver IC dropped due to the heightened integration of driver IC;
  • large-sized panel manufacturers integrate functions of gate driver IC into a panel;
  • The manufacturing process of driver IC improves. For instance, more and more driver IC is fabricated in 12-inch wafer fabs instead of originally 8-inch ones and with the fabrication process evolving from 0.18 micrometer to 0.13 and 0.09 micrometer. As a result, the driver IC cost will be greatly slashed, making the selling price cut down.

Large-sized driver IC market is ceaselessly shrinking, while small-and medium-sized driver IC market develops smoothly. This can be seen from the three aspects: firstly, medium-sized driver IC is growing substantially in quantity benefitting largely from the ballooning shipment of tablet PC; secondly, small-and medium-sized panels feature higher and higher resolution, making the driver IC cost increase, with the selling price decline by a much smaller scale against that of large-sized panels; thirdly, with the boom of smartphone market, mobile phones equipped with high-resolution panel are growing substantially.

For Samsung, the revenue from driver IC business saw a decline on account of the fact that it was the first to employ GOA technology that integrate gate driver IC based on Array. And Samsung's driver IC for OLED are more often supplied by Magnachip than ever.

For Novatek, the Taiwan-based company became the world's largest driver IC manufacturer in 2012, while its major contributor to the revenue is from large-sized panel driver IC business.

Renesas announced in January 2012 to retreat from large-sized driver IC sector and to only retain small-and medium-sized driver IC business, the market occupancy of which comes top worldwide. Renesas has become the monopolist in the high-resolution small-and medium-sized panel driver IC market as the exclusive supplier of Apple for series products such as iPhone, iPad, iPhone 5, and iPad Mini.

In the display driver IC field prior to the year 2009, Japanese and South Korean businesses took dominant position. But since 2009, Japanese companies began to stay out of the market because they were not in the position to compete with Taiwanese counterparts in terms of price, especially, they were no presence in large-sized driver IC market. The rise of Taiwanese players lies in Taiwan's most perfect supply chain. The upstream of driver IC cover foundry, gold bump and package (COG, COF, and TCP). Taiwan boasts the world's sole 12-inch display driver IC wafer fab. Moreover, the world's only two independent gold bump manufacturers are located in Taiwan.
