Huawei aims to differentiate consumer products such as television to semiconductor development for panel driving

It has been revealed that China's largest telecommunications equipment, Huawei, has begun the development of semiconductors to drive the display panels mounted on smartphones and television.Mr. Yoshito, who is the CEO of the Consumer Product Division (the highest management responsibility), instructs the development team composition in a document on July 28.The reporter confirmed it from a person involved in Huawei.

Huawei did not respond to the inquiry from the reporter of Seishin, but according to the co -literary army, who is the chief analyst of the research company's core research, Huawei is the competitiveness of its own brands through the development of panel -drive chips.It is highly likely that he is enhanced.

Speaking of Huawei's consumer products, the image of a smartphone is strong, but it also offers a variety of products equipped with display panels, such as laptops, tablets, smart watches, and smart TVs.In particular, the smart TV, which entered in 2019, has set a high goal of 10 million units shipments by the end of 2020 and 20 % in the Chinese market in 2022.

The impact of the US government sanctions is unknown

But Huawei does not work on panel production and has to rely on procurement from a panel manufacturer in Korea and China.In order to make it easier to differentiate the functions of consumer products, he analyzes that he has chosen a way to develop a drive tip used in a panel and a set.

China has already been overtaken by Korea in the production volume of panels, and there are multiple domestic manufacturers that can produce high -quality panels such as the Kyogoku Science Technology Group (BOE), Vyonox, and TCL Hansei Hikari Electric Technology.。However, with regard to panel -driven chips, most of them still rely on imports from overseas manufacturers.

The U.S. government has triggered the sanctions in May that Huawei has been developed to develop semiconductors using state -of -the -art processing technology.However, panel -driven chips can be manufactured with 28 to 40 nanometer process technologies, and Chinese semiconductor contract manufacturers, such as the manufacturing of the Core Core International Collection (SMIC), can technically respond.However, it is unknown whether Huawei can find the consignment of chip production without hindrance, and it is necessary to watch the future changes.

(Translation: The US government announced on August 17 that it would further restrict Huawei's semiconductor treatment).
