Abstract
Along with the semiconductor industry, TFT-LCD industry in Taiwan has been regarded as one of the two strategic industries with trillion value. As the flat panel display has been widely applied in our daily life and usages, the demand of TFT-LCD panel is increasing quickly, especially in sight of future LCD TV application. In this particular industry, Taiwan and Korea are the two major suppliers in the world. However, as a late comer, the local supply for major process equipments in Taiwan is rather weak which in turn may reduce the long-run competitiveness of panel manufacturing in the global competition. Without local supply for especially critical equipments, delivery time and prices are controlled by the vendors from other countries; it becomes the archiles heel of the TFT-LCD panel makers in Taiwan. How to increase the extent of local supply for critical process equipments becomes the key issue for the development of TFT-LCD industry in Taiwan. In addition, as the size of Taiwan’s machinery industry has grown over 800 billion up to 2006, enhancing local supply of TFT-LCD process equipments would spur the growth of this industry to become another one-trillion industry in Taiwan.
Guided by the extant knowledge of industry analysis, strategy and value net theory, we first conduct an structure analysis on the TFT-LCD and its equipment industries. We then suggest co-opetitive strategies for those potential contenders for local supply of TFT-LCD equipments. This study also suggests that government and technology research institutes assist the local TFT-LCD equipment manufacturers in Taiwan in order to develop competitive advantages as late comers and eventually compete in the TFT-LCD equipment industry.
