Anonymous, 13 Feb 2019I don't think you understand the concept of intellectual pr... moreBusiness follows the law of the jungle. Companies that know what they're doing will prosper, while the ones that are inadequate will fail. If it's that easy to make it to the top via "ip theft" then how come other businesses haven't done it?. Making excuses for losing is not a good look. Sometimes it's better to admit that certain companies are better at business than others. LG was a front runner in the LCD sector and had a big lead over their competitors. If a business can't win even though they're ahead, it's usually their own fault (incompetent management or bad business decisions). Congrats to BOE, hope they invest more in AMOLED displays as well and make it more cost-effective for consumers.

anonymous, 13 Feb 2019nah, shame on them for losing against the chinese company. ... moreIt is not a shame. It is reality nowadays and not only for LG.
All the companies were looking for cheap labour in China and invested so much money in factories. Now Chinese are taking advantage and slowly killing big brands with the price.

abigfanoftechs, 13 Feb 2019Why do customers buy BOE's LCD over LG's LCD?
Let's assume... moreTo make something for market you need to invest money to do lot of research, lot of test etc. It's all cost a lot of money.
If I will get "recipe" from you how to make something and what "ingredients" do you use to make it, I will save me a lot of money compared to you.
Plus if all factories are in my country I could probably get some discount and support as well.

Let's assume... moreI don't think you understand the concept of intellectual property theft, which the Chinese are notorious for.
The Chinese put "investments" into stealing, not into innovation. And as many people have already stated, they also have slave labor wages to get by with minimal costs.

Let's assume that BOE's LCD is the same quality & cheaper.
How do you account for the same quality without investment?
BOE must have made an invest to be able to make the same quality panels. LCD is high-tech & you can't make the panels without knowledge & investment.
If BOE had only made a smaller investment but at the same time able to produce the same quality panels then it's LG's fault for not able to achieve the quality with smaller budget.
For example: Dyson, they do R&D in their country but moved their production overseas because it was cheaper.

If you will have a business will be interesting how you would adopt for that :)

Optional, 13 Feb 2019Why LG can't do the same?
Ask yourself a question - why e... moreThere are many reasons (none are LG's fault as LG's panels perform very impressively, not like their phones), but the two most obvious reasons are labour cost and (the presence of) invention cost.
Due to the differences in China's and other countries' salaries and daily costs (both matches their own countries but not between different countries), it is impossible for LG and other foreign companies to give as low salaries to their labour as Chinese companies, at least at this stage. For the invention cost, actually many technologies and techniques obtained from China are from stealing others' intellectual property. Even, in other cases, if not stolen, they just properly LEARN from foreign firms, BUY their technologies and techniques, and HIRE talents from other countries (OR "eat" foreign companies LOL), but NOT really invent things themselves. That means only LG and other foreign companies have to spend a lot to invent, pushing their product price.

Take your manufacturing to China or some other 3rd world countries to lower your cost.
Adapt or die!

The more the merrier. Competition is great for consumers - more selection and cheaper prices.
Hopefully, they ramp up production of their OLED display screens soon and make OLED smartphones more affordable for everyone.

If you don't know how the Chinese managed to acquire all this tech in such a short space of time I suggest you read up on their cheating practices of the Chinese tech firms in collusion with the Central Communist Party.

Not very surprising when you consider all they do (like every other Chinese company) is to steal and copy technology from foreign firms. Which means boe doesn't have to spend a dime on r&d and can instead leverage their low cost base to win lucrative supply contracts to oems all over the world.
Typical Chinese malpractice.

Ask yourself a question - why everything is made in China and why Chinese companies are taking over almost every field they are interested in and which can bring good income! For LG and other big brands outside China who are investing a lot of money in research and development, it's just impossible to compete with Chinese manufacturers.
