On August 18, 2021, according to foreign media reports, the supply of LCD display driver chips has also been affected when the supply of chips in many fields such as automobile and consumer electronics is in short supply and the production capacity of chip manufacturers is generally tight.
In March this year, people in the LCD display drive industry chain disclosed that the strong demand for LCD panels has boosted the demand for LCD display drive chips. In the case of tight production capacity of chip manufacturers and shortage of chips in many fields, it is likely to lead to an increase in the price of display drive chips.
At the beginning of this month, another person in the industry chain disclosed that TSMC had informed customers that they would increase the OEM price of LCD display driver chips by 15% - 20%, which may lead to a further rise in the price of LCD display driver chips from August.
However, the latest reports from overseas media show that the price of LCD display driver chips may stabilize.
As before, the overseas media also reported that the price of LCD display driver chips may stabilize according to the information disclosed by the industry chain. People in this industry chain disclosed that due to the reluctance of downstream equipment manufacturers and suppliers to accept more price increases, the price of LCD display driver chips, especially the price of small and medium-sized LCD panel display driver chips, may stabilize.
