We have several touchscreen production lines, and maintain the highest production capacity in the industry, to meet the needs of our large customer base. Thirdly, we have a complete industry chain, with several production lines including TN/STN/ FSTN-LCD, TFT, FPC, BL, CG, OGS, RTP, CTP, TLI, etc. So, we can provide one-stop services, respond quickly to customer needs, and provide the best cost-effective products. We have our own unique advantages in terms of quality and delivery time.

Reporter: How do you see your company growing in the coming years?

Jin Bo: Based on the growth of the smartphone and tablet PC market and along with our company’s development plan, we look pretty good for the coming three years, and expect a compound annual growth rate of over 50% for the next three years.

Reporter: The market is dominated by In-cell and OGS. Are they affecting the sales of your equipment? Is there any difference with the past?

Jin Bo: Judging from the current market, there has not been any difference.

Reporter: What is the new trend your company is following, and is there any advertising or exhibition promotion?

Jin Bo: We will continue to improve our advantages of complete industry chain, enhance production capacity of each production department and provide one-stop service for customers.

Reporter: How about current research and development and customer situation?

Jin Bo: We have undertaken a series of technological innovation mechanisms, including an explicit innovation direction, established a perfect incentives mechanism, effective and colorful training, and a stable intellectual property system to maintain our technology leadership. With us expanding our original business, our customers are also continuously optimizing. The company has maintained high-speed growth while achieving high-speed development of customers.

Reporter: Who will be your main customers or new customer groups in the future?

Jin Bo: We will continue to serve first-tier domestic brands and internationally renowned enterprises by providing seamless touch display integration modules and OGS products and leverage our advantages of vertical integration and complete industry chain.

Reporter: What is your opinion on the status of the touchscreen market?

Jin Bo: In today's fiercely competitive touchscreen industry, downstream firms are extending to upstream firms to reduce costs and ensure profit margin, while upstream firms are extending to downstream firms to capture end customers. The whole industry chain coverage is conducive to enhancing the resistance to industry fluctuations for both parties. Under the trend of integrating the industry chain, module manufacturers are extending to the upstream, and the gross profit rate is expected to remain stable, while sensor manufacturers are extending to modules and the gross profit rate will inevitably decline. Integrated manufacturers who make use of the first-mover advantage in the fitting process as well as have better customer and capital bases will break through the barriers to entry and have strong competitiveness in the industry. They are expected to win in the face of the high-pressure intensifying industry competition and falling product prices. The vertical integration and whole industry chain model of our internal production will become the industry trend, to maintain relatively high profitability and market competitiveness, with intensifying competition in the industry and continuously falling prices.

Reporter: What actions and developments have you undertaken with respect to new technologies such as OGS and In-cell?

Jin Bo: We are bullish on the prospects of OGS and have launched mass production. In-cell technology is currently being researched.

Reporter: OGS utilizes the large-panel method by implementing chemical-strengthening treatment before cutting a single panel, and the single-panel method by implementing chemical-strengthening treatment after cutting a single panel. Which method does your company adopt?

Jin Bo: At present, we adopt the single-panel method by implementing chemical-strengthening treatment after cutting a single panel, and we will move to the large-panel method in future.

Reporter: What measures have you undertaken for In-cell and On-cell?

Jin Bo: Both On-Cell and In-Cell technologies are being researched.

Reporter: Do you think smartphones and tablet PC can replace the PC in the future? Has your company captured business opportunities in the smartphone and tablet PC market?

Jin Bo: Smartphones and tablet PCs will not replace PCs in the future, but the differences among smartphones, tablet PCs and PCs will become increasingly blurred. From 2009 to 2013, projected capacitive touchscreen, TFT modules, seamless touch display integration modules, and OGS products were put into production successively. We seized the business opportunities in the smartphone and tablet market.

Reporter: Is your company focusing on the use of mobile products such as smartphone and tablet PC terminals?

Jin Bo: Our company’s projected capacitive touchscreens, OGS products and seamless touch display integration modules are mainly applied to mobile products such as smartphones and tablet PCs.

Reporter: What do you think are the prospects of touch display in the coming three years?

Jin Bo: The birth of In-cell and OGS will have the greatest impact on G+G structure as well as on G+F structure, but there will still be market demand. In the next three years, capacitive touchscreens with In-cell, OGS and G+F structures will be divided into three parts, with their respective growth space.

Reporter: Compared with touch panel manufacturers in Taiwan/Japan/South Korea, what do you think are the competitive advantages of domestic manufacturers?

Jin Bo: Japanese and South Korean enterprises are leading in technology, and the demand for high-end technology products (such as In-cell/On-cell) exceeds supply. Taiwan enterprises have advantages in scale and accumulation of OEM customers, focusing on the middle and high-end markets. The technology and scale of Chinese enterprises are relatively small. We are penetrating the market from low to mid- end, relying on the most mature mobile phone supply chain, and have obvious cost advantage.

Reporter: Do you think OLED will be representative of the next-generation display?
