>> South Korea's LCD equipment industry is blowing cold winds 4th,March,2019
The global financial tsunami has caused a decline in the economy. Whether Taiwan, Japan or South Korea's LCD industry has reduced equipment spending in 2009, Samsung LCD Electronics, such as Samsung Electronics and LG Display (LGD), invested in LCD equipment in 2009. The reduction of more than 50% has affected the situation. Recently, the Korean semiconductor/LCD equipment industry has been blowing cold winds, and measures such as layoffs or pay cuts have been taken.
Samsung Electronics' investment in LCD equipment in 2009 will be reduced by more than 50% from about 4 trillion won (about 2.76 billion US dollars) in 2008, less than 2 trillion won, and semiconductor equipment investment will be 7 trillion in 2008. The South Korean won (about US$4.84 billion) has shrunk by about 60% to just 3 trillion won.
Samsung Electronics has invested in LCD investment. The original 11-generation line in the world was targeted at mass production in early 2010. It is expected to start construction in the first half of 2009, but recently it has significantly reduced the engineering costs required for the construction of the plant, and even did not rule out the delay until 2009. The possibility of starting work in the second half.
As for the second phase of Samsung Electronics L8-1 production increase, not only delays the time course, but also scales down. Its L8-1 is currently producing 60,000 pieces per month. It was originally scheduled to increase production in the second stage and increase the monthly production capacity by 30,000 pieces. Since November 2008, the equipment has been placed, but it has recently been changed to invest in 2009, and the production increase has been reduced to 20,000.
The 8th generation line of LGD, which is currently under construction in Paju, South Korea, is scheduled to be mass-produced in the first quarter of 2009. The 6-2 generation line currently under construction in Gumi is scheduled to be mass-produced in the second quarter of 2009. LGD equipment investment in 2009 will be between 1.5 trillion and 2 trillion won, a slight increase from the original planned 1 trillion to 1.5 trillion won. However, compared with the equipment investment of about 4.5 trillion won in 2008, Still reduced by more than 50%.
In response to the cold winter, Korean semiconductor/LCD equipment manufacturers are mostly committed to reducing operating costs by means of pay cuts, layoffs, or power saving. For example, a Korean semiconductor/LCD representative equipment manufacturer has implemented pay cuts at or above the supervisor level since November. 15~20% measures, and if the operating conditions deteriorate in 2009, layoffs and the next wave of pay cuts are not excluded.
However, in addition to pay cuts and layoffs, Korean semiconductor/LCD equipment manufacturers such as ADP Engineering, PHICOM and Jusung Engineering are also actively developing new businesses to diversify their business in order to respond to the 2009 semiconductor/LCD investment scale. Significantly reduced, the current diversification of its business, mostly to develop hydrogen business and solar energy and other new energy business.
South Korea's detector and etching equipment manufacturer ADP Engineering, its semiconductor testing machine and dry etching equipment still account for about 35% and 49% of revenue, but for the long-term development of hydrogen precision manufacturing, has been developed A core module for producing high purity hydrogen.
South Korea's semiconductor testing equipment supplier PHICOM is using its technology to develop Laser Screen Printing equipment for solar energy back-end processing. At present, there are no manufacturers in Korea that can make it.
Since the beginning of 2008, Jusung Engineering has officially shipped solar cell equipment and entered the overseas market. Currently, its revenue in the solar cell field has reached more than 100 billion won, which has successfully become its main business. In the third quarter of 2008, Jusung Engineering's revenue accounted for 56% of the solar cell division, 26% of the LCD division, and 18% of the semiconductor division.
Under the impact of the shrinking investment in the semiconductor/LCD industry in 2009, Korean equipment manufacturers will not only respond to layoffs and pay cuts, but also open up new businesses with growth momentum and achieve diversification, which will also become the key to their survival. one.
