Once upon a time, "chip shortage and screen shortage" was a huge stone weighing on the hearts of China's electronic information industry. We not only had to spend huge amounts of money importing screens, but also had to "queue up" in front of international suppliers. However, in just over twenty years, a magnificent industrial comeback quietly unfolded. The "Chinese screen" that was once controlled by others has now occupied half of the global market. Behind it is not only the change of market share, but also a path of progress from "market for technology" to "technology for market creation". It embodies China's determination and wisdom to seize opportunities and achieve high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement in the wave of globalization.

The display industry holds an important strategic position in high-end manufacturing, and China has been struggling to explore it since the late 20th century. At that time, the power of discourse was basically in the hands of a few foreign companies, and domestic TV and mobile phone manufacturers could only passively accept high pricing. After more than 20 years of hard work, China's display industry has achieved a historic leap from small to large and from weak to strong. Key core technologies have accelerated breakthroughs, and a group of enterprises have grown rapidly, becoming an important force that cannot be ignored in the global display industry.

What is the reason for the comeback of the 'Chinese screen'? The primary driving force lies in the forward-looking layout of policies and efficient collaboration between government and enterprises. Since the sounding of the horn in the "Electronic Information Industry Adjustment and Revitalization Plan" in 2009, which clearly stated the need to "break through the bottleneck of the development of the new display industry", a series of successive plans and action plans have been introduced, like precise roadmaps, to drive the industry into the "fast lane". The key layout and financial support in Beijing, Hefei, Chengdu and other places have effectively leveraged social resources and formed a competitive industrial cluster model, enabling China to complete difficult technological accumulation and capacity climbing in a relatively short period of time.

The core support comes from a clear judgment of industry trends and a long-term commitment to independent innovation. When facing the generational shift of technology routes such as LCD and OLED, Chinese companies have keenly observed and adopted a cautious strategy of "dual track parallel" to avoid directional errors. More fundamentally, regard independent innovation as the lifeline. During the 14th Five Year Plan period, the average annual growth rate of industrial research and development investment reached 18%, and the number of patent applications accounted for 42% of the global total. Leading companies such as BOE and TCL Huaxing continue to invest heavily in research and development, not only making breakthroughs in terminal products, but also achieving systematic breakthroughs in key materials, upstream manufacturing equipment, and other fields. For example, the localization rate of high-end OLED glass substrates, polarizers, and photoresist has significantly increased, and core equipment such as evaporation machines and exposure machines have been developed from scratch, continuously enhancing the resilience and safety level of the industrial chain.

In addition, China's super large market and rich application scenarios provide a unique fertile ground for the rise of "Chinese screens". From the innovative form of domestic mobile phones to the emergence of new energy vehicles, and then to the flourishing development of wearable devices and AIoT, diverse demands provide a broad testing ground and application space for various display technologies. Market institutions estimate that the added value driven by display screens can reach 4 to 5 times its own output value, and its strategic value far exceeds the cost itself.

It is predicted that by 2025, the output value of China's new display industry will approach 800 billion yuan. In the face of the future, China's display industry still needs to strive to seize the high ground in the layout of new display technologies such as Micro LED and quantum dots, and continue to enhance the independent research and development capabilities of key materials and equipment, in order to achieve another leap from "scale leadership" to "quality leadership".

The counterattack of "Chinese screens" is a typical example of the transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry. It vividly illustrates how to organically combine strategic leadership, innovation drive, and market advantages to become a latecomer in a highly capital and technology intensive industry. This path not only accumulates market share and patent numbers, but also accelerates the determination and confidence to achieve high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement. Looking ahead, challenges still exist, but the story of "China Screen" has proven that as long as the direction is clear and long-term efforts are made, China's technology industry will surely write a brilliant chapter from catching up to leading in more fields.
