Analysis About Opportunities and Challenges of China’s LED Display Market

Filed under: Sales — Tags: , — admin @ 1:01 pm
David asked:


years, China has witnessed an increasing demand for displays as a result of the rapid growth for LED displays in stadiums and gymnasiums. Currently, LED displays have been widely applied in banking, railway stations, stadiums, gymnasiums and the advertisement industry. The display screen has transformed from a traditional monochrome static display to full-color video display.

In 2006, the market demand for LED displays in China was valued at 4.05 billion Yuan, an increase of 25.1% over year 2005. The demand for full color displays amounted to 1.71 billion Yuan, accounting for 42.2% of the total market. Ranked next were the dual-color displays with a demand value of 1.63 billion Yuan, accounting for 40.2% of the entire market. Monochrome displays were not expensive, and so also achieved a total revenue of 710 million Yuan.

Now with the approaching of the Olympic Games and the World Expo, more and more LED displays will be used in stadiums, gymnasiums and roadways. LED displays will be enjoying a rapid growth in application of sports squares. As the market demand for full color displays grows in the sectors of stadiums, gymnasiums, and advertisements, full color LED displays will occupy an expanding market proportion. People are predicting that the Chinese LED display market will have a CAGR of 15.1% from 2007 to 2010 and by 2010 market demand will reach 7.55 billion Yuan.

The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games will directly promote the demand for LED displays in stadiums and gymnasiums. Furthermore, the Olympic Games has high requirements for screen quality, so high-end displays will see an increase in applications, such as Led display,Led manufacturer,Electronic signs etc. As a result, the increase in quantity and quality of LED displays will drive a higher speed of development. In addition to stadiums and gymnasiums, important events like the Olympic Games and the World Expo will directly promote the use of LED displays in the advertising field. Advertising agencies at home and abroad will certainly cherish the business opportunities brought by these events, and increase their revenue from advertising displays, thus facilitating the development of the display field.

Furthermore, these important events will be accompanied by a great many large activities, and the government, the media and other organizations will probably hold related activities during the Olympic Games and the World Expo. Some of these activities may require the application of large LED displays, thus promoting the LED display market and the leasing market as well.

In addition to this, the convening of these two sessions will stimulate the demand in government sectors for LED displays. As an effective instrument in the delivery of public news, the LED display is probably adopted by more government sectors such as the transportation and taxation

departments and authorities from industry and commerce.

Stadiums and gymnasiums, and outdoor advertisements are the two largest application fields for LED displays in the Chinese market. Outside of that, LED displays are mainly utilized in some engineering projects. Generally, the LED display projects for stadiums and gymnasiums, as well as the advertising industry, are primarily paid for through open tender, while some display projects for enterprises mainly adopt bidding to accrue revenue.

Owing to the distinct properties of engineering, LED display projects often confront funding problems. As most stadiums and gymnasiums are government projects, featuring relatively abundant capital, LED display manufacturers suffer less pressure to lower the price. While in the field of advertising, another important application field for LED displays, LED display enterprises suffer strong pressure to decrease prices because project investors vary in economic strength and mainly rely on the advertising income from displays to maintain the normal operation of the company. Post investors have a lot of flexibility in advertising income from LED displays. Investors have no guarantee of sufficient funds so LED display enterprises often wrestle with funding advertising projects.

Meanwhile, there are plenty of LED display enterprises in China. Some enterprises wage price wars to seize market shares. Sometimes there have been low quotations for bids. The interindustrial pressure of competition is increasing. In order to guarantee sound development, reduce credit risk and the amount of bad and doubtful debts, some important LED display enterprises in China are usually prudential in undertaking advertisement projects.

Currently domestic LED display enterprises are dominant in the Chinese market for their greater number and lower price. Domestically-funded and produced LED display enterprises not only meet domestic market demand but also export goods to the overseas markets. In recent years, some internationally- known LED display enterprises have gradually transferred their production bases to China due to cost pressure. For example, Barco set up a production base for displays in Beijing; Lighthouse has a production base in Huizhuo; Daktronics set up their own production plant in China. As for some display enterprises like Mitsubishi, who have not yet entered the Chinese market, have also witnessed the potential development of the Chinese market and are preparing to enter into it. With the increasing number of production bases in China set up by international LED display enterprises, together with the considerable number of domestic LED display enterprises, China is growing to be the key production base of LED displays globally.

In the Quran: the evil deed and the Mustard seed

Prof.dr. Ibrahim Khalil asked:


The mustard is mentioned five times in the Bible, all of them are in the New Testament being not mentioned at all in the Old Testament. 

The mustard is mentioned two times in the Quran.

 

Matthew, Mark and Luke give the Parables of the Mustard Seed; they said that the kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed.  

In addition, Mark claims that Mustard seed is the smallest of all the seeds on earth; and when it is planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants. This Mark’s claim is scientifically wrong.

================================

 

The Mustard in the Bible:

 

Matthew 13:31

 

New International Version

He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field.

 

New American Standard Bible

He presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field;

 

English Standard Version

He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field.

 

King James Version

Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

 

Mark 4:30-32

 

New International Version

30Again he said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it?

31It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest seed you plant in the ground.

32Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds of the air can perch in its shade.”

 

New American Standard Bible

30And He said, “How shall we picture the kingdom of God, or by what parable shall we present it?

 31″It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the soil, though it is smaller than all the seeds that are upon the soil,

32yet when it is sown, it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and forms large branches; so that THE BIRDS OF THE AIR can NEST UNDER ITS SHADE.”

 

English Standard Version

30 And he said, “With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use for it?

31It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown on the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth,

32yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.”

 

King James Version

30And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?

31It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:

32But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.

 

Luke 13:19

 

New International Version

It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air perched in its branches.”

 

New American Standard Bible

“It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and threw into his own garden; and it grew and became a tree, and (A)THE BIRDS OF THE AIR NESTED IN ITS BRANCHES.”

 

English Standard Version

It is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his garden, and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches.”

 

King James Version

It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.

According to Mark 4:30-32:

Mustard seed is the smallest of all the seeds on earth.

When it is planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants

Scientifically speaking, Mustard seeds are about 2 mm in diameter; but they are not the smallest of all the seeds on earth.

Orchid seed is the smallest of all the seeds on earth.

The dust-like orchid seeds are the smallest with about one million seeds per gram.

On the other hand, when Mustard seed is planted, it grows and becomes 2 to 6 feet high and it will never ever become the largest of all garden plants.

 

Herein we have a problem:

According to the Christians’ faith, Jesus is God and Creator, and He must know that:

1- Mustard seed is NOT the smallest of all the seeds on earth, and

2- When it is planted, it grows and becomes 2 to 6 feet high and it will never ever become the largest of all garden plants.

 

Hence, it is either one of two:

1- The Lord Jesus has no idea about the Mustard seed.

2- Mark has no idea about what he wrote.

 

================================

 

The Mustard in the Quran:

 

Chapter 31: LUQMAN (LUQMAN)

Verse 31:16

 

QARIB:

(Luqman said :) ‘my son, if it should be but the weight of one grain of mustard seed, and though it be on a rock, or in the heavens, or in the earth, Allah shall bring it. surely, Allah is the subtle, aware.

SHAKIR:

O my son! surely if it is the very weight of the grain of a mustard-seed, even though it is in (the heart of) rock, or (high above) in the heaven or (deep down) in the earth, Allah will bring it (to light); surely Allah is knower of subtleties, aware;

PICKTHAL:

o my dear son! lo! though it be but the weight of a grain of mustard-seed, and though it be in a rock, or in the heavens, or in the earth, Allah will bring it forth. lo! Allah is subtile, aware.

YUSUFALI:

“O my son!” (Said Luqman), “if there be (but) the weight of a mustard-seed and it were (hidden) in a rock, or (anywhere) in the heavens or on earth, Allah will bring it forth: for Allah understands the finest mysteries, (and) is well-acquainted (with them).

 

Luqman, the wise man taught his son and said:

O my son! Even if it, namely, the evil trait, should be the weight of a grain of mustard-seed, and even if it be in a rock, or in the heavens, or in the earth, in other words, in the most concealed place therein, Allah will bring it forth, and He will call that person to account for it. Truly God is Subtle, in bringing it forth, Aware, of its location.

Is the Quran quoted from the Bible?
