Electronic enthusiasts eight o'clock: According to foreign media reports, there was news at the end of May this year, LG Display plans to invest 4 trillion won (about 3.5 billion US dollars) to build a new smart phone OLED screen production plant in South Korea. However, according to LG's latest financial report, the 4 trillion won of this round of investment is far from enough. The company plans to continue to add 9.6 trillion (about 8.5 billion US dollars) of investment to the OLED business. The reason why LG Display is so big, according to industry observers, Apple played a key role in it.
It is reported that LG Display's second part of the 9.6 trillion won investment is mainly divided into two separate parts, of which 5 trillion won is used to produce mobile OLED display panels, and another 4.6 trillion won will be used to invest in the company's existing factory. Used to produce large-sized equipment including smart TVs. However, from the company's financial report, the current cash reserve of LG Display is about 7 trillion won, so the company's second batch of additional investment obviously needs to find new funds.
At this time, the outside world thought of Apple. If LG Display wants to achieve the second round of investment, it will need more than 2 trillion won of investment, plus the rumors of cooperation between LG and Apple have been circulating for a long time, so this money is likely to come from Apple. . Although both companies refused to comment on the authenticity of the deal, industry observers said that LG will not continue to push the investment plan until the two sides actually start signing the agreement.
As for the benefits Apple will get if it invests in LG Display, the answer is simple: the OLED display panel used in smartphones in the future. As the iPhone 8 will begin to switch to OLED screens, Apple will face huge capacity threats in the future. Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, industry insiders said that LG's new OLED panels will be fully available to the iPhone in the future.
However, a few days ago, there was news that Apple purchased its own OLED production line. Therefore, the future OLED screen supplier of iPhone 8 is likely to be composed of three parts: Apple, LG Display and Samsung Display.
Restraints: High cost of battery-powered portable power stations
Portable power stations include components such as high-efficiency Solar Panels, pulse width modulation (PWM) charge controllers, inverters, lithium-ion NMC (nickel, manganese, and cobalt), and sealed lead acid, which contain silica. As the capacity requirement increases, the battery size and the size of solar panels also increase, leading to higher costs of portable power stations. For instance, key companies such as Goal Zero and Jackery are offering solar panels as separate accessories, which further increases the cost of battery-powered portable power stations. Alternatively, natural gas or fossil fuel generators are comparatively low in cost because of a wide variety of fuel types, such as diesel, gasoline, and natural gas, coupled with reduced fuel prices. Fuel prices are low because of the reduced oil & gas prices globally. In addition, a few fossil fuel-powered portable generators can even run on more than one type of fuel-a combination of gasoline and propane. Natural gas, fossil fuel diesel-based generators or small engines are preferred conventionally over battery-powered portable power stations as these are widely available and easily accessible at any place. Portable generators are relatively inexpensive because of their simpler construction and technological maturity compared with battery-powered portable power stations. These factors may restrain the growth of the portable power station market due to the availability of cheap generators.
