Layout information technology industry Foxconn billion-scale industrial park settled in Guangzhou

On December 31, 2016, Guo Taiming, Chairman of Foxconn Technology Group, announced that the Guangzhou Municipal Government and the Foxconn Technology Group subsidiary Sakai Display ProducTIon (SDP) signed a cooperation framework agreement in Guangzhou. According to the content of the cooperation agreement, SDP will invest 61 billion yuan in Zengcheng to establish a 10.5-generation 8K display eco-industrial park. The project is planned to start construction this year, with an annual output value of nearly 100 billion yuan.

SDP is a joint venture between Foxconn and Sharp, and Foxconn Chairman Guo Taiming is the largest individual shareholder. This is the biggest project that Guo Taiming has invested in domestic investment in the past ten years. Guo Taiming said that in order to settle the best technology in Guangzhou, Foxconn will transform into the leader of the industrial Internet in the future.

The reporter learned that this is another innovative project after Guangzhou's major projects such as Cisco China Innovation Headquarters, GE International Biological Park, and COSCO Shipping Bulk Headquarters settled in Guangzhou. With “Hao Li” as the closing point in 2016, Guangzhou, which is a hub-type network city, is accelerating the high-end elements for global gathering.

According to Foxconn, SDP has the only 10G line 8K panel production line currently in operation in the world. The 10.5 generation 8K production line signed this time combines the advantages of three parties, namely SDP 8K large-size panel production line, Foxconn manufacturing experience and Sharp. 8K panel technology.

The reporter learned that the "X generation line" is a professional term in the field of LCD panel production. No matter how big the panel is, it needs to be cut from a whole panel. The higher the production line algebra, the larger the substrate size it produces, and the larger the screen size that can be cut.

For example, the 10th generation line has a glass substrate size of 3080mm & TImes; 2880mm, which can cut 8 57-inch TV panels, or 6 65-inch TV panels. The SDP's 10.5 generation line is mainly used to produce 65-inch and 75-inch panels.

The 10.5 generation line is an embodiment of the production capacity of the liquid crystal panel, and 8K is the advanced technology that is truly related to the display quality.

From a technical point of view, 8K refers to the sharpness of digital images, and its wide color gamut can display colors that transcend all colors in nature, and is the highest fine image specification that human vision can recognize.

The current mainstream digital image is the full HD (2K) standard with a resolution of 1920 & TImes; 1080. 4K image technology with a resolution of 4 times full HD has appeared on the market. And 8K means that its resolution is 4 times that of 4K images, which is 16 times that of Full HD.

SDP consultant Dr. Sun Yuewei said that the 10.5 generation 8K production line is expected to start mass production in 2019, with an annual output value of 92 billion yuan. The 8K ultra-high-definition image LCD screen will bring a video data revolution to the industrial Internet, car networking, entertainment, medical, education and other fields.

In fact, global panel makers are scrambling for the "cake" of the 10.5-generation display. In December last year, BOETEC, the largest LCD panel manufacturer in China, announced that it would add 5.8 billion yuan of its own funds to the Hefei BOE 10.5 line, which has just been announced. The monthly production capacity of the production line will reach 120,000. At the same time, TCL Group companies, Huaxing Optoelectronics and other companies are also stepping up the layout of the LCD monitor factory.

On the day before the project was signed, Sharp transferred SDP's 4.36 million shares to SIO InternaTIonal Holdings Limited for 17.17 billion yen (about NT$4.8 billion), while SI was invested by Guo Taiming. After the completion of the transfer, SIO International Holdings will reach 53.05% of the SDP shareholding and become the largest shareholder. Sharp's shareholding in SDP fell to 26.71%.

The insiders analyzed that the "father of liquid crystal" Sharp was included in the squat, Foxconn is also strengthening the strength of the panel, integrating the upstream resources and the terminal machine industry, and deploying technology and capacity in advance to meet the demand for large screens in the Asian market.
