China's LCD Makers: Top Players & Sinda's Differentiated Path

07.08.2025

In the booming landscape of China's LCD screen manufacturing industry, in addition to industry giants such as BOE and TCL Huaxing Optoelectronics that rank among the top LCD manufacturers globally, professional manufacturers focusing on niche areas also play an important role. As a senior company that has been deeply involved in the industry for more than 20 years, Sinda Display occupies a unique position in the global market with customized solutions and refined operations, injecting fresh vitality into the diversified development of China's LCD industry ecosystem.

The "bipolar pattern" of China's LCD industry: giants leading and specialized breakthroughs

China's LCD screen manufacturing industry has formed a bipolar development model of "scale giants + niche experts". Head companies such as BOE and TCL Huaxing Optoelectronics, recognized as leading players, dominate the mainstream consumer electronics market such as TVs and mobile phones with their super-generation line production capacity and full-size product lines. Their technological breakthroughs (such as 8K ultra-high definition and Mini LED backlight) continue to refresh the industry ceiling. Specialized companies represented by Sinda focus on vertical fields such as industrial control, medical equipment, and smart terminals, and build differentiated competitiveness alongside the top LCD giants through customized capabilities.

The formation of this pattern stems from the continuous differentiation of LCD technology application scenarios. The consumer electronics market, where leading manufacturers thrive, pursues "large size, high refresh rate, and low cost", while the industrial and special fields pay more attention to "stability, environmental adaptability, and customized adaptation" - this is the core battlefield of companies such as Sinda.

Sinda Display: A "hidden champion" that focuses on niche areas

Since its establishment in 2002, Sinda Display has always focused on the customized R&D and production of LCD/OLED display modules, and has built a unique competitive barrier in its 20-year development history, coexisting and complementing the major industry players:

Precise matching of technology and production capacity

  • R&D strength: With a R&D team of more than 50 professional engineers, it focuses on industrial-grade display technology innovation. Its COG (Chip On Glass) packaged 240x128 graphic LCD module is specially designed for cold chain equipment such as Thermo King and Carrier, and has a wide temperature operation capability of -30℃ to 70℃, occupying an important share in the global cold chain logistics display field alongside products from top LCD manufacturers.

  • Production capacity: The 20,000 square meter production base achieves an average daily production capacity of 150,000 modules, while supporting the flexible mode of "small batch customization + large batch stable supply". The minimum order quantity (MOQ) can be as low as the sample level, meeting the full-scenario needs from prototype development of start-ups to bulk purchases of large enterprises, a flexibility that even some leading manufacturers struggle to match.

  • Quality control: Passed ISO 9001 and ROHS certification, established 10 full-process testing procedures (including high temperature aging, electrostatic testing, optical performance calibration, etc.), and the product qualification rate is as high as 99.9%, winning trust in medical equipment, industrial automation and other fields with strict reliability requirements.

Deep penetration of application scenarios

Sinda's product matrix accurately covers eight major segments, especially in special display scenarios where mass-market manufacturers may not focus:

  • Energy terminal: The 7-segment LCD display customized for fuel dispensers has the characteristics of UV resistance, sunlight visibility (brightness up to 1000cd/m²), low power consumption (standby current < 5mA), etc., and has been applied in batches to gas station equipment in more than 30 countries around the world, complementing the offerings of larger industry players.

  • Smart medical: The developed touch LCD module is adapted to portable ultrasound equipment, supports antibacterial coating treatment and IP65 dust and water resistance, meeting the requirements of clean environments such as operating rooms.

  • In-vehicle and cold chain: The display designed for Thermo King refrigerated trucks has passed vibration tests (10-2000Hz) and humidity cycle tests (10%-95% RH) to ensure stable operation in extreme transportation environments.

Global layout and brand recognition

With efficient responsiveness and customized services, Sinda has established a global market network, competing and cooperating with industry leaders in various regions:

  • In 2019, it participated in the Indian Electronica exhibition and became the core display supplier of local new energy charging pile companies;

  • In 2025, it won the "Excellent Performance and Value Creation Award" awarded by Indian distributor Elektronika in recognition of its technical adaptation capabilities in the South Asian market;

  • In 2025, it will appear at the Malaysian Electronic Semiconductor Exhibition (Setia SPICE Exhibition Center, Booth A180) to showcase high-temperature display solutions optimized for the tropical climate of Southeast Asia.

Complementary symbiosis between giants and specialized enterprises: the diversified value of industrial ecology

Sinda has formed a differentiated market positioning with BOE, TCL Huaxing Optoelectronics and other leading enterprises:

  • Technical path: Giant enterprises focus on the large-scale application of cutting-edge technologies such as 8K ultra-high definition and Mini LED, while Sinda focuses on special processes such as COG packaging and wide temperature adaptation, providing "technical customization packages" for segmented scenarios that mass producers may not prioritize;

  • Service model: Large manufacturers meet the mass market with standardized products, while Sinda provides "15-day fast proofing + full technical accompaniment" ODM services, such as customizing special-shaped LCD screens for smart wearable devices of start-ups, and providing structural design suggestions and driver development support at the same time;

  • Market coverage: Head enterprises dominate the mainstream consumer electronics market, while Sinda builds moats in professional fields such as industrial control (accounting for 35%), medical equipment (20%), and energy terminals (18%).

This complementarity has driven China's LCD industry to form a competitive advantage of "full-scenario coverage" - from 8K TVs in family living rooms, to medical monitors in operating rooms, to gas station screens, Chinese companies, including both top LCD giants and specialized players like Sinda, have achieved a full-dimensional response to display needs.

Conclusion: Diversified development builds industry resilience

The development trajectory of Sinda Display confirms the richness of China's LCD industry: in addition to the scale effect of leading manufacturers, the development path of "specialization, precision and innovation" can also open up a broad world. When BOE and other major players define the height of the industry with production capacity and technology, Sinda is expanding the breadth of the industry with customization and scene adaptation. This diversified ecology not only makes China the core of the global LCD supply chain, but also builds risk resistance in technology iteration - whether it is the technological upgrade of consumer electronics or the outbreak of industrial Internet of Things scenes, China's LCD industry, with its leading giants and specialized enterprises, can respond quickly and continue to lead the global display market.
