This situation does not only occur in the country, but also in North America and Europe, the two major market prices have also risen.

Fear of affecting Thanksgiving promotional panel market began to reverse from the second quarter, 32-inch TV panel prices from the beginning of the 50 US dollars, all the way up through 75 US dollars, an increase of up to 50%, the current 40-inch shortfall; with the stocking season The volume of panels in various sizes has risen steadily, leading to pressure on brand factories to rise, setting an unprecedented increase in terminal prices in order to maintain profitability.
