As the country's largest television production provinces, Guangdong is speeding up the development of the first phase photoelectron industry of investment 480 million US dollars of Taiwan CMO LCD module project, the beginning of this month in the South China Sea has just completed and put into production in Foshan, Guangzhou LG -
Philips LCD module project today came good news: soon put into operation; Investment is estimated to reach 1.5 billion US dollars in Shenzhen Super photoelectric the fifth generation TFT-LCD panel production line started construction.
Three years later, the Guangdong size flat panel display industry will be the first in the nation, next-generation flat panel display industry in 5 to 10 years lead the country; By 2010, the province's output value of the flat panel display industry will reach 300 billion yuan, an added value of 60 billion yuan to develop the related industrial output value of nearly 10,000 billion.
Guangdong Province, an official disclosed, on the middle and lower reaches in Guangdong has not only become complementary range of the world's most important flat panel display industry R & D and manufacturing base, but also as an opportunity to achieve a new round of industrial upgrading.
Two research to identify weaknesses turn around
The information industry as a big province, Guangdong's electronic information industry as early as the 2005 output value of a breakthrough 1 trillion yuan, ranking first in the country, of which the country's total color TV nearly 1 / 2 output. However, in the industrial structure, Guangdong lack of integrated circuits, the new high-end displays, and other key devices supporting the production, color television sets, computers, mobile phones and other electronic products necessary LCD mainly depend on imports.
Guangdong realized that if things continue this way, information big province color TV industry will become other people's assembly plant downstream, and may even be a large-scale transfer of industries. In 2003, the provincial party committee and the provincial government organized's biggest ever, including the electronic information industry competitiveness of the nine major industry research and information technology research. "Zhang Dejiang, secretary of the domestic departments and personally invite experts and scholars to participate in, history-taking pulse." Before, the then director of the provincial Information Industry Department, the incumbent vice mayor of Guangzhou City interviewed the accept that, the two high specification research activities, scope, force of the country are rare . It is precisely these two research for the information industry in Guangdong identified weaknesses, but also to find a breakthrough, LCD flat panel display project was put on the agenda.
By the end of 2005, Guangdong to set up TFT-LCD (liquid crystal television screen) Project Leading Group, LCD industry development as the top priority of the information industry layout of Guangdong, Guangdong LCD strategic choices - from the central industrial chain "LCD module" start. In order to speed up the development of TFT-LCD, the provincial government decided three years invested 900 million yuan to support the development of related enterprises discounted loans.
Eager to industrial transformation of Foshan City seize the opportunity to play immediately report to the provincial government, Guangdong actively asked to assume TFT-LCD project, a high degree of support by the provincial government.
January 23, 2006 Foshan Nanhai District initiated work on the Chi Mei's investment, April 3 completed the signing, a year after achieving a smooth operation.
LCD projects have settled in Guangdong
Nahaiai US official commissioning of the project after the end of this year is expected to be able to produce modules breakthrough 200,000. Guangdong is the largest LCD TV module production line. Liao, chairman of Taiwan's Chi Mei Kam-cheung said, it is estimated that in 2008 annual shipments can be Super 10 million. This means that the South China Sea production capacity will become an important global production base for LCD modules. "Nahaiai US LCD is the only completed project began in Guangdong curtain development of the optoelectronics industry, the more interesting later on." An expert from the Guangdong Information Industry said.
It is learned that, Guangzhou LG-Philips LCD construction project is in full swing: large area LCD TV module, the output 5760000; Small LCD module, the output 46.8 million. The fair also reported information, Shenzhen is building ultra-deep photoelectric the fifth generation TFT-LCD panel production line. This line is the fourth of the country, Guangdong first. Production line for 1.5 billion US dollars, is expected to be put into production after achieving 1 billion US dollars in value. According to the Shenzhen Municipal authorities recently enacted flat panel display industry overall strategy and development goals by 2010, Shenzhen flat panel display industry's total revenue amounted to 120 billion yuan or so to become one of the pillar industries in Shenzhen.
TCL also taken a first step into modules, scheduled to be completed by the end of this year directed issuance of A-shares, will raise funds by nearly 1.4 billion yuan invested LCD module project.
An industry source said that, with TFT-LCD completion of the project in Guangdong, China's LCD flat panel displays the history of long-term dependence on imports will be ended.

Guangdong Development efforts TFT-LCD project, with its strong lead of the industry to do with. Deputy party secretary and governor Huang Huahua, TFT-LCD project is a fundamental, strategic projects, the development of the information industry driven their resilience. It can be a good guide industry gathered to form industrial chain.
"Taiwan's Chi Mei, CPT, LG Philips LCD module three major projects once all production, coupled with supporting upstream and terminal products, for the annual contribution 300 billion yuan more than in Guangdong's output, and 60 billion yuan of industrial added value." say so. Some experts even believe that if enumeration its effects driven, at least to the output value of related industries driven nearly 10,000 billion.
Foshan party secretary Lin Yuanhe said that the output value of Foshan photoelectron base driven hundreds of billions of yuan, a large number of factories will be flocking to the TV. It is learned that, at present, TCL Multimedia planning preparation in the South China Sea LCD TV unit assembly plants. By the end of September, Hisense an annual output of 1 million units of the flat-panel TV production base in Foshan also started.
"The transition to a modular unit it is a logical, and it is very easy to achieve extension of the industry." The information industry in Foshan City, a person in charge said.
LCD screen projects not only benefit the industry, the consumer is also a big plus, LCD flat panel projects settled in Guangdong, the most direct effect is the LCD TV, computer prices is expected to decline sharply, after all, account for LCD TV unit costs around 70%. Some experts predict that LCD TV, the computer can therefore prices fell 20%.
Lebanese companies to take over Uganda Telecom
Lebanon took over the company Greencom Uganda Telecom, and had this Uganda's largest fixed-line telephone operator's majority stake. Under the new structure of the shares, Lebanon owns 69% of the shares, the government of Uganda hold 31% of the shares. After the takeover, Greencom soon appoint a new senior staff. May will be rescheduled, but the future management of the company will not change. In response to MTN, Celtel and the other two carriers compete, Greencom in positioning, technical and financial aspects to adjust.
Uganda telecom market is now MTN, UTL and Celtel of the world, mobile users in the country by two-thirds of MTN control, recently released paragraphs 4 and 5 telecommunications license will help the development of competition. New entrants to the original operators will bring enormous pressure to them to invest in new, high-cost technology to provide competitive products and services to prevent churn.
