The pneumonia epidemic caused by the new coronavirus infection is still continuing to ferment and is about to usher in its peak period. With the urgent needs of indoor control and remote office, small spacing has performed well in indoor control, corporate office and other fields. Medical display As a niche segment of the display market, it has not received the attention of the industry in the past period of time. This menacing epidemic has also let many display manufacturers see the importance and possibility of display in the medical field. In the future, with the demand for smart medical care and the blessing of 5G technology, what role will LED displays play in smart medical care? Can medical display become a "dark horse" and another growth point in the LED display industry?
1. The considerable profits and huge demand for medical displays
In recent years, the number of elderly people over 60 years old in China has been increasing. The number of people over 60 years old in my country has reached 250 million, an increase of more than 80 million elderly people every year. As China's population ageing intensifies, people have become increasingly concerned about more professional medical diagnosis and treatment. The demand for treatment continues to increase, and people's living standards are gradually improving, paying more attention to personal health, and the number of regular medical examinations is increasing. The medical market is experiencing rapid growth. According to relevant statistics, global medical display shipments in 2016 were 40.89 million pieces, an increase of 5.4 percent compared to 2015. It is expected to ship 42.97 million pieces in 2017 and reach 50.38 million pieces by 2020, with a compound annual growth rate of 5.3 percent .
With the vigorous development of global display technology and applications, the growth of ordinary LED displays has gradually slowed down due to the openness and fierce competition in the terminal market. The medical display market is slowly opening up new business opportunities due to its high gross profit level and stable market growth. Panel manufacturers and equipment terminal companies in Taiwan, South Korea and the mainland have begun to enter the medical high-end display market and continue to develop High-resolution, high-brightness, high-contrast and other medical display panels have continued to make breakthroughs in the application of display technology in the medical field. The medical display market is growing rapidly. With the gradual penetration of LED displays in the medical field, the considerable profits of medical displays and the huge medical market demand in China will attract major manufacturers to compete for the medical display market.
2. LED display adds unlimited possibilities for medical display
The scope of medical display is actually quite broad, including medical display, medical public display, medical consultation screen, remote diagnosis and treatment, medical LED 3D screen, emergency rescue visualization, etc. Since the medical display industry is a highly technology-intensive industry, the technical threshold is very high. Medical display is different from LED large-screen display products. At present, the applications related to LED large-screen display are mainly concentrated in the fields of medical public display, remote diagnosis and treatment, medical LED 3D screen, and emergency rescue visualization.
On the one hand, in the hospital's treatment hall, the hospital needs to provide patients with a lot of medical information, and this information is flexible in real time, which requires a controllable display terminal platform. A hospital is a place where groups of individuals gather. For patients, they need to be able to see medical-related information in the first time. Among various display terminals, the LED display has unique advantages. Its high-definition, high-brightness, and controllable characteristics meet people's psychological needs, which also opens a door for the LED display to enter the medical display market. On the other hand, when facing some medical problems that cannot be solved, the hospital can use the display platform of LED display to unite more industry experts to conduct telemedicine communication and consultation. In addition, in the face of similar to the new crown epidemic Under special circumstances, the emergency rescue visualization will play a role in the multi-party resources of the United Hospital and the outside world, and the LED display will become an important port.
It is worth mentioning that the medical display field, whether it is used for medical public display, remote diagnosis and treatment or emergency rescue visualization, is inseparable from ultra-high-definition picture quality, display software and hardware supporting equipment and fast transmission speed. Small-pitch and even micro-pitch LED displays are completed, so small-pitch LED displays and Mini LED/Micro LEDs have more room for development in the medical display field, and high expectations are placed. In the future, with the continuous advancement of LED display related technologies and the blessing of artificial intelligence and other technologies, the LED display will be integrated with a series of advanced technologies such as cloud computing. The LED display will also participate in more simulated operations, and the simulated data will also be The real surgery provides more reference and reference.
In summary, it is not difficult to see that the medical display market is large and there are not many LED display companies involved in medical treatment. There is still a lot of room for accommodation and improvement of LED display in the medical display market. However, LED display medical technology contains gold content. High, it is not easy to do well. The fight against the new type of coronavirus infection is an important practical opportunity for the Chinese medical industry. It is a major training. It will provide valuable research samples and experience accumulation for the future of 5G and ultra-high-definition displays to empower the medical industry. For screen companies, it is also a touchstone. What is tested is whether the screen companies are sluggish in the predicament or see new business opportunities. For display companies, this is a very good opportunity. The field of medical display is vast. The blue ocean of the market and the buffer opportunities in fierce competition, in the face of the huge cake, seize the opportunity, everyone may become a beneficiary, and all may take the east wind and soar into the sky.
