Large AMOLED gets a cost edge over

LCD

Large AMOLED to start pilot production in 2012 and enter mass production stage in 2013

Samsung Mobile Display (SMD) and LG Display (LGD) should dip their

toes in the large AMOLED waters in 2012. Both SMD and LGD are

working on 8G AMOLED pilot lines, which should be ready for test runs in

2012. We expect the large-size AMOLED camp to be split between SMD’s

p-Si based TFT substrates and LGD’s a-Si based oxide TFT substrates.

SMD should outperform LGD in terms of substrate functionality but LGD

should deliver greater cost savings than its rival. Samsung Electronics

(Samsung) is reportedly developing oxide TFT technologies but the type of

technology, investment scale, or production timing remains uncertain.

Given the early mover’s advantage in the TV market, we expect the mass

production of large AMOLED panels to start from 2013 or 2014 at the

latest.

LCD capex reduction but ongoing AMOLED capex As the recovery of the LCD market has been delayed, LCD panel makers

are rapidly scaling back capex. The global top four LCD players slashed

their 2011F capex by 30%-50% compared to initial plans (35% YoY).

Investments, however, remain intact in AMOLED and high-end LCD panels.

SMD should go ahead with 5.5G capex and AMOLED pilot lines, while

LGD is gearing up to pilot-run large AMOLED panel lines and Taiwanese

panel makers are shifting to oxide TFT lines.

Cost-competitive oxide TFT to lead large AMOLED

As large panels are more cost-sensitive than small to mid segments, the

large AMOLED panel market is likely to adopt a-Si based oxide TFT

technology, not LTPS technology, to gain cost competitiveness. Oxide TFT

technology allows panel makers to diversify product mix because it is

widely applicable from AMOLED to glass-free 3D LCD panels and ultra-

definition LCD panels. LTPS technology should improve and be

commercially viable over the long term. But we believe oxide TFT will lead

the development of large AMOLED because it reduces initial capex

requirements.

Beneficiaries of large AMOLED

The TV display market is worth 10 times more than the mobile display

market in terms of area surface. As such, if equipment or material vendors

can extend their market reach beyond the small to midsize to large

AMOLEDs, we believe they deserve high valuation. Our top-picks are

Cheil Ind and Duksan Hi-Metal, steadfast materials suppliers, and SFA and

ICD whose equipment can be used on large-size panel lines.

1. Display capex fast shifts from LCD to AMOLED

As the LCD panel market remains weak, major panel makers continue to scale

back their LCD capex. During the 2Q11 earnings season, the top five panel

producers, which represent 82% of global LCD panel production capacity,

announced their decision to cut annual LCD capex by 30-50% compared to the

initial plans set in early 2011. As such, LCD capex should decline 35% YoY in 2011

and the pace of capex cuts should accelerate in 2012. But, LCD capex

retrenchment should allow market leaders to spend more on large AMOLED.

Samsung Mobile Display (SMD), which is operating a 5.5G AMOLED line is

expected to start 8G investments in 2012. LG Display (LGD) is also looking toward

the mass production of 8G from 2013.

Unlike Chinese counterparts, Korean and Taiwanese panel makers are passive

LCD investors in China. Major foreign makers were in a hurry to obtain capex

approval from the Chinese government in early 2010. But most of these capex

projects are being delayed due to chronic market oversupply. LGD was the first to

clear the regulatory hurdle but is still sitting on its capex plan. Pending the approval

process, LGD has already secured LCD production capacity domestically, which

makes it unnecessary to rush overseas capex. In contrast, Samsung Electronics

(Samsung) needs additional LCD capacity because the company has not invested

in domestic facilities. Nevertheless, Samsung is likely to chew over its Chinese

capex. Taiwanese panel makers also said they do not plan capex in China in the

near term.

While LCD capex projects face delays and reductions, the large AMOLED panel

market sees a looming capex race among Korean display makers. As the 8G pilot

line is fully equipped, SMD, which leads the capex race, should be ready for trial

runs. SMD is expected to invest in a mass production line in 1H12 when the pilot

test is complete. LGD scaled back its investments in LCD and small AMOLED but

remains committed to large AMOLED. LGD plans pilot-production of 55” AMOLED

TV panels in 2H12. LGD plans to build 60K-capacity large AMOLED panel lines

from 2013 with a goal to start mass production in 2014. Taiwanese panel makers

have yet to unveil large AMOLED panel capex but are likely to take their cues from

SMD and LGD.

The TV market plays by marketing and cost competitiveness, rather than

technology. As such, AMOLED market winners should be those who can roll out

products at a faster pace and at a cheaper price than rivals. We believe SMD and

Samsung will make a faster advance to the AMOLED market than their rivals.

However, SMD still does not have production lines dedicated to large panels. SMD

cannot switch its LCD line to AMOLED, which erodes its cost competitiveness and

requires changes in production technologies. Given SMD’s weak cost

competitiveness, there is a growing possibility for Samsung to enter the large

AMOLED panel business. Samsung can convert its LCD lines to oxide TFT

AMOLED panels just as LGD does. Samsung can sharpen its competitive edge

quickly when its oxide TFT meets SMD’s organic deposition technologies. LGD

faces growing concerns over the large panel business due to its suspension of

small AMOLED panel business. To compensate for its weaker financing capacity

compared to Samsung, LGD will enhance cost competitiveness through line

conversion from LCD to AMOLED.

2. Large AMOLED manufacturing costs by technology

We view oxide TFT technology as the most optimal for large AMOLED panel

production. Although the oxide TFT AMOLED panel is technologically inferior to

LPTS AMOLED, it could be the best choice in terms of cost competitiveness, which

is crucial for the large panels used in TVs. In contrast to LTPS, oxide TFT

technology is compatible with the process and equipment of existing LCD-use TFT

lines, which sharply reduces the initial capex burden for AMOLED panel makers.

The technology has not been applied for mass production and thus the production

yield remains uncertain. However, many panel makers are now preparing for mass

production by applying oxide TFT technology to existing LCD lines and will soon

start the pilot test. In addition to AMOLED panels, high-end glassless 3D and ultra-

definition LCD panels can be built on the oxide TFT technology. As such, the oxide

TFT technology will allow panel makers to diversify product lineups.

Manufacturing of AMOLED panels on the existing LCD TFT line using the oxide

TFT technology will cost 34% less than LTPS AMOLED panels or 28% less than

LCD panels. AMOLED panels’ parts cost 40% less than those for LCD panels but,

to remain competitive in terms of total costs, the capex burden needs to be

contained. The area capex for excimer laser annealing (ELA)-based LTPS

AMOLED panels is four times greater than LCDs’. As it offsets cost reduction on

the parts front, the LTPS AMOLED’s total manufacturing costs surpass LCD

panels’ in the end. In contrast, capex increase is limited for oxide TFT AMOLED

panel production and thus its total costs should be 20% less than LCD panels’. As

such, we believe the oxide TFT technology, which uses the existing LCD TFT line,

will be adopted for large AMOLED panel production in the initial phase.

LCD panel makers’ profitability has continued to fall hit by slowing LCD TV

shipment growth. Their profitability moves up and down as the industry cycle

changes. Panel makers’ operating margin reached 20% in 2H07, the first upcycle

since they entered the full-scale production of LCD panels used in TVs. The

upcycle revisited the industry in 1H10 but the panel producers’ operating margin

averaged 10%, a sharp decline from the past. To shore up the operating margin,

panel makers are considering starting production of large AMOLED panels earlier

than scheduled as it is more cost competitive than LCD panel production. We

believe there will be intense competition to build presence in the market before the

rivals square off because profitability tends to be higher while the market is still

burgeoning.

3. Material and equipment makers have the most

investment appeal

Material suppliers are the most appealing among AMOLED-related companies as

they can continue to benefit from the production of both small and large AMOLED

panels. Although there are differences between the materials used in small and

large AMOLED panels, it does not mean material suppliers have to drastically alter

their product mix. Thus, major material suppliers should continue to supply

products used in the production of small and large panels and their supply volume

should grow rapidly as well when the production area expands. In addition,

companies that can supply indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) required for oxide-

TFT processing should be able to benefit from the growth of the large AMOLED

panel industry.

The TV panel market is appealing because its area-based demand is at least 12-

times bigger than that of the mobile display market. At present, AMOLED panels

have less than 5% share in the handset display market. Even if all handsets were

to adopt AMOLED panels (4-inch), the mobile display market’s area-based

demand would still be less than the 8% total demand for LCD TV panels that are

expected to sell in 2011. While mobile displays are more expensive than large

displays in terms of costs per unit area and prices, the TV panel market has much

stronger growth potential.

As the TV panel market is enormous, the companies that can supply equipment or

materials used in the production of large AMOLED displays will have a wide

window of opportunity to achieve growth. In particular, as new technologies are

required for the production of large panels, the firms that can supply processing

equipment that satisfies such demand will be afforded fresh opportunities. As for

material suppliers, they are able to supply products for small and large panels

without drastically altering their product mix, which justifies their higher valuation

compared to equipment makers. At present, DS Hi-Metal’s stock trades at a PER

of 25x and 15x 2011F and 2012F EPS, respectively. But when we consider the

large panel market’s area-based demand for materials can grow more than 10-

times bigger than that of the mobile market, DS Hi-Metal’s high valuation is fully

justified.

The technology switch at panel makers presents both opportunities and risks to

equipment suppliers. SMD’s technological changes at 5.5G fabs where capacity

additions are taking place have shed a positive light on some, but not all. SMD

plans to adopt the LITI (laser-induced thermal imaging) deposition method on its

5.5G P3 lines in parallel with the conventional fine-metal mask (FMM) method.

This offers fewer chances of orders for FMM-based equipment makers such as

SFA and SNU Precision but more opportunities for AP Systems, a supplier of laser

deposition equipment that is key to the LITI process. SFA has the potential to

offset the negative effect as it also produces equipment necessary for the LITI

process. Like this, technological changes made by panel makers will continue to

be a mixed bag of pros and cons for vendors. If the technology norm shifts from

LTPS to oxide TFT in the TFT backplane process with the heaviest capex burden

across the entire AMOLED panel process, the equipment order momentum should

vary from company to company.

Among equipment vendors, we draw attention to producers of the oxide TFT

process equipment as the process is likely to go mainstream in the large AMOLED

panel market. The necessity of the new processes in addition to the TFT-LCD

substrate manufacturing underlines the need for new equipment such as high-

density plasma etchers or heat treatment equipment. Accordingly, suppliers of

such equipment are worthy of attention.

LCD equipment makers’ PER rose to 15x during 2004-2005 when capex to

produce 40-inch or larger LCD TV panels was underway. We believe the PER of

vendors for large AMOLED panels has the potential to reach the same level as

capex for large AMOLED TV panels should start from 2012 and this will, in turn,

give a boost to equipment makers. As such, we applied a PER of 15x to SFA and

ICD that serve large panel makers.

Cheil Ind. (001300) BUY (Maintain), TP: W140,000 (Maintain)

Hopeful 4Q11 Potential dominant supplier of large AMOLED materials to Samsung: Cheil Ind. (Cheil) should become a dominant supplier of large AMOLED materials to Samsung. Although development and production of materials for large AMOLED panels are behind schedule, we remain confident that the company will ultimately secure a dominant supply share at Samsung. A bright spot is that the company has started developing films suitable for the LITI (laser-induced thermal imaging) method in line with the adoption of the LITI technique. Accordingly, its product portfolio of AMOLED materials is growing more diverse. As Cheil’s forte lies in large panels rather than mobile panels, panel makers’ ongoing shift to large AMOLED panel production hints at more business opportunities going forward. AMOLED materials supply to kick off in Sep upon the completion of mass production lines: The last phase of Cheil’s AMOLED material development is testing the prototypes produced at the mass production lines set for completion in Sep. After Sep, products such as electron transport layer (ETL), pixel defining layer (PDL) and hole transport layer (HTL) should come on stream, in that order. Moreover, as the supply dates fall within a similar timeframe as SMD’s ramp-up of the 5.5G P2 and P3 lines and V1 (8G pilot) lines, shipments should fast increase after decisions are made to supply the products. In 2012, Cheil will also supply one or two new AMOLED materials, polarizer and donor films, which should complete the product mix of 7-8 AMOLED materials.

TV polarizer film business to normalize: We believe the TV polarizer film

business will normalize because its production yield improved to the normal level

at end-2Q11 and shipment volumes are expected to increase. It is also positive

that Cheil’s organization has stabilized with the completion of the post-merger

integration process after taking over its subsidiary Ace Digitech. Although new

product development and market share growth have been slower than our

expectations due to the lackluster LCD market, top-line growth should gain

momentum in 2H11 or 2012. We estimate polarizer film sales at W660bn in 2011F

but the figure should jump to W1.2trn in 2012F. The bottom line is unlikely to turn

profitable in 2011 but the operating margin should climb to 8% in 2012F.

Maintain BUY and TP of W140,000: The stock lost 19% since early Aug due to

disappointing earnings and the stock market crash. The stock trades at the 2011F

PER of 15x and 2012F PER of 11x, the lowest level since Oct 2009. The supply of

new AMOLED materials has been delayed but the start is a matter of when, not if.

We believe the recent correction offers a long-awaited entry point. We maintain

BUY and our TP of W140,000 (target PE 18x the 2011F-2012F average EPS). The

stock has 44% upside. OP should skyrocket 101% QoQ in 3Q11F. Despite

lingering uncertainties over the global economy and the demand side, we believe

Cheil looks more attractive than other IT plays because of its high earnings stability.

Duksan Hi-Metal (077360) BUY (Maintain), TP: W37,000 (Maintain)

OLED materials to keep thriving backed by larger AMOLED

Ample upside despite demanding valuation: Duksan Hi-Metal (Duksan) currently trades at a high 2011F PE 25x, which we view as tenable on the back of strong growth potential for its AMOLED materials business. We have an upbeat outlook due to the following. 1) As AMOLED panels get larger, the materials market will fast expand. 2) Given rivals’ delayed entry to the HTL (hole transport layers) market, Duksan should be able to hold on to its large share at Samsung Mobile Display (SMD) after 2011. We peg the 2011F EPS at W1,056, up 116% YoY, and expect a decent rise of 67% for 2012F. We maintain BUY and a TP of W37,000 that equals a target PE 25x the 2011-2012F average EPS W1,412 (2012F earnings growth potential priced in). We applied the current PE 25x as the target multiple given the company’s good earnings visibility. Larger AMOLED spurs materials market growth: As AMOLED formats get larger, we expect the OLED materials market to grow rapidly as well. An 8G AMOLED substrate requires OLED materials 2.8-fold more than a 5.5G substrate. As AMOLED panel makers make full-fledged investment in 8G lines from 2012, the HTL market’s growth would get into high gear at the same time. In particular, Duksan can offer a steady supply of OLED materials regardless of possible technology changes to the deposition process at 5.5G and 8G lines. Unlike AMOLED equipment vendors whose orders momentum can slow with the technology shift, materials suppliers including Duksan face limited risk to sales.

Large presence at SMD to remain intact: Duksan is an exclusive supplier of HTL

to SMD. There is concern that it will face a threat from emerging rivals but we

believe chances of its vendor share shrinking are remote. SMD’s 5.5G phase 2 line

ready to be operational in 2H11 will use the same materials as phase 1 and thus

chances are good that it will continue to use Duksan’s products. It is difficult for a

manufacturer to change a supplier of materials used at the current production line.

Given this, Duksan being equipped with the most stable mass-production lines

should keep the upper hand over rivals. The company’s vendor share could shrink

from the current level when large-size AMOLED panels are made at the phase 3

line as major rivals will pose competitive threats at that time. However, its supply

volume would expand thanks to larger panels. We estimate OLED materials sales

to jump 119% YoY to W74.1bn in 2011F and gain 114% YoY to W158.3bn in 2012F.

SFA Engineering (056190) BUY (Maintain), TP: W80,000 (Maintain)

Large AMOLED capex projects need SFA

Changes in TFT backplane and deposition technology to have limited effect: SFA Engineering’s (SFA) wide product mix gives the equipment maker a sharper competitive edge over domestic rivals. Moreover, SFA is capable of adapting to the technological changes that occur when panel makers shift their capex from LCD to AMOLED or when the production of small and midsize panels expands to include large panels. In 2011, SFA’s overall new orders for equipment are expected to reach W834.2bn, of which LCD-related equipment should be a mere W200bn. Given that SFA’s AMOLED-related equipment orders already amount to W400bn, the company boasts strong product competitiveness. To supply deposition equipment to A3 line: In 2H11, SFA will likely receive new orders worth W200bn from SMD, which is expanding the deposition process for its A2 lines. In addition to the existing orders for logistic systems, the company should supply new equipment required for the newly implemented laser-induced thermal imaging (LITI) method. SFA was preparing to supply vertical deposition equipment for 5.5G lines but technological changes have delayed their application in A3 lines. Instead, SFA is now supplying blank deposition equipment and donor handlers, which minimizes the effect caused by the supply delay of vertical deposition equipment. At present, SFA is making plans to supply vertical deposition equipment for the FMM method used in A3 lines in 2012. Equipment for 8G oxide-TFT and deposition methods: SFA is also preparing equipment for the oxide-TFT method when it is adopted for 8G AMOLEDs. As for front-end equipment, the company already has experience with supplying plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) equipment and it is currently developing equipment for the oxide deposition process. In addition to the vertical deposition equipment for the FMM method currently in development, SFA is developing equipment for the SMS method that could be applied to 8G AMOLEDs. Although it is premature to say whether every piece of equipment will be successfully developed and supplied, the company faces limited risk from failing to supply equipment due to its a wide product mix. Maintain BUY and TP of W80,000: We maintain BUY and our TP of W80,000 on SFA, which has been shifting its sales portion from LCD to AMOLED equipment and from logistics systems to front-end equipment. We derived the TP by applying the AMOLED equipment suppliers’ target PE of 15x the 2011F and 2012F average EPS. SFA should see its overall new orders for equipment used in AMOLED panel production jump from the mid-40% level in 2011 to more than 70% in 2012 when new orders flow in from SMD’s A3 lines and 8G lines. Even if Samsung Electronics starts investing in the oxide-TFT method for 8G AMOLEDs, it would not greatly affect SFA’s equipment orders.

ICD (040910) BUY (Maintain), TP: W98,000 (Maintain)

8G oxide-TFT needs HDP etchers

Supplying HDP etchers to SMD’s 5.5G: The 2011F sales should hit W156.8bn and the operating margin jump to 23.6% with the sharp increase in high-density plasma (HDP) etcher sales. Japan’s TEL and YAC met most of SMD’s equipment demand until 4.5G but ICD supplies more than 90% of the equipment for the 5.5G line. We expect ICD to retain its dominant supply share at SMD as it will be difficult for rivals to match ICD’s large-area plasma source technology in the short-term. We estimate ICD’s HDP etcher sales to jump from W7.4bn in 2010 to a whopping W120.7bn in 2011F. Supply to A3 line to boost 2012F sales and OP 83% and 84%, respectively: We estimate 2012F sales at W286.4bn and OP at W68bn. Our decent YoY growth outlook is attributed to the start of SMD’s order placements for its 5.5G A3 lines in early 2012. The A3 lines have a monthly capacity of 100Kcps, 56% greater than 64Kcps at the current A2 lines and this will fuel ICD’s equipment supply growth.

Additional orders momentum when 8G oxide-TFT technique is adopted: We expect the oxide-TFT method to become the trendsetter in the 8G technology evolution as it costs 28% and 34% less than the current TFT-LCD and AMOLED excimer-laser annealing (ELA) and fine-metal mask (FMM) methods, respectively. Despite the technology shift, we believe ICD can continue to supply HDP etchers as oxides have more than 68% greater bond energy than hydrogenate amorphous silicone (a-Si:H) and thus, oxides require a more elaborate etching process. We estimate ICD’s HDP etcher sales to jump 26% YoY to W314.9bn in 2013F. We believe related sales will likely exceed our estimate when capex projects for 8G mass-production lines get underway from 2H12F in full force.

Maintain BUY and TP of W98,000: We maintain BUY and a 12M TP of W98,000

using 15x 2012F EPS. We applied the peak multiple LCD equipment makers

received in 2004-2005 when LCD capex was aggressive. We considered: 1)

potential benefits from greater AMOLED capex given its sales structure being

skewed toward the panels (89% of total in 2011F, a sector-high), 2) strong sales

growth in 2011F (+342% YoY) and 2012F (+83% YoY) on its HDP etcher sales to

SMD’s 5.5G production line, and 3) further orders backlog growth with the adoption

of the oxide-TFT method for 8G AMOLED. Our price target implies 40% upside.

AP Systems (054620) Not rated

Momentum to boom for SMD’s 5.5G capex but burst for 8G

SMD AMOLED equipment supplier: AP Systems supplies Samsung Mobile

Display (SMD) with AMOLED equipment such as ELA (excimer laser annealing)

and glass-type encapsulation. AMOLED panels must feature a high level of

brightness and uniformity and thus go through the LTPS (low temperature

polysilicon) process that converts a-Si backplane to poly-Si. ELA equipment

formulates poly-Si during the TFT LTPS process. AP Systems exclusively supplies

ELA equipment to SMD’s AMOLED line. Moreover, the company sells SMD

encapsulation equipment that applies a glass cap to prevent oxidation and

moisture deformation in OLED materials.

Largest beneficiary of SMD’s 5.5G capex: SMD is ready to apply LTPS

technology for the AMOLED 5.5G A3 line to increase brightness and uniformity of

substrates. We believe AP Systems will exclusively supply ELA equipment to

SMD’s 5.5G line (up to A3) as SMD has no other ELA equipment vendors. Besides,

AP Systems is likely to win laser deposition equipment orders for the 5.5G line.

SMD plans to partly introduce LITI (laser-induced thermal imaging) technology for

the organic materials deposition process at the 5.5G A2 P3 line. AP Systems

should be SMD’s exclusive supplier of laser deposition equipment as it is the only

Korean company with the technology.

Orders momentum likely to weaken for 8G AMOLED: The stock gained 114%

from the trough in Dec 2010 on mounting orders momentum where AP Systems

would sell ELA and laser deposition equipment for SMD’s 5.5G. But we expect

orders momentum to slow as SMD is shifting toward large-size AMOLED panels.

Chances are SMD will introduce more cost-competitive technologies, not capital-

intensive LTPS and LITI, for its large AMOLED segment. SMD is likely to introduce

oxide method to the backplane process starting with 8G, departing from LTPS that

5.5G and earlier generations used. While 5.5G partly uses laser deposition

technology, the 8G process is likely to introduce non-laser SMS (small-mask

system) deposition. As such, AP Systems’ front-end equipment orders momentum

will likely fizzle out after 5.5G. The stock’s 2011F PE stands at 17x compared to the

average 14x among AMOLED equipment vendors. Given high earnings volatility or

sensitivity to orders momentum inherent to equipment makers, we believe the

stock is overvalued. Its orders momentum remains intact for 5.5G but we call for a

prudent approach to AP System. The company is less likely to win new orders for

8G as large AMOLED panels go mainstream.

Advanced Nano Products (121600) BUY (Maintain), TP: W25,000 (Maintain)

Biggest gainer from probable adoption of oxide

semiconductor in display technology

Transparent conductive oxide (TCO) target maker: Having a source technology

for nano-sized powder, Advanced Nano Products (ANP) makes electronic

materials targeting TCO (transparent-conductive oxides), CMP (chemical

mechanical planarization) slurries and silver pastes. TCO target is now used

mainly to make transparent electrodes for solar cells, flat panel displays such as

LCD and touch panels, and its application will expand when oxide TFT technology

enters the industry. CMP slurries are used to polish semiconductor wafers. ANP

sells intermediate materials to Cabot Microelectronics, the leading supplier of

polishing slurries and CMP pads in the world. Silver pastes are used in the

formation of electrodes for crystalline silicon solar cells and product testing is

ongoing at Chinese and Taiwanese companies. ANP’s sales break down to 56%

TCO target for solar cells, 20% TCO target for displays and 9% CMP slurries.

TCO target is sluggish for solar cells but promising for displays: ANP’s 1H11

sales and operating profit came in at W15bn and W4bn, respectively. The figures

met 39% and 36% of the company’s full-year guidance (W39bn sales and W11bn

operating profit) due to poorer-than-expected sales of its flagship TCO target for

solar cells. Chances are the sluggishness will continue given the unfavorable solar

PV industry conditions. Nonetheless, we believe the full-year guidance is easily

achievable backed by seasonally strong demand in 2H and likely substantial

growth of TCO target sales for displays. More and more manufacturers of displays

and touch panels are adopting sputters loaded with AKT’s rotary-type target, which

should benefit ANP, a vendor to AKT. We expect the positive changes to become

visible in 2H11 and in 2012, the display TCO target should emerge as a main sales driver.

To benefit from probable adoption of oxide semiconductor in display

backplane technology: Oxide semiconductor is gradually being adopted in

display backplane technology as LCD goes high-definition and AMOLED grows

larger. Oxide semiconductor is known to be crucial for flexible display fabrication.

As such, we believe the use of oxide semiconductor in the display process is a

matter of when, not if. The adoption of oxide semiconductor in the backplane

would lead to a significant increase in demand for TCO target using indium gallium

zinc oxide (IGZO) as a material. When adopted, consumption of the IGZO target

will be multiple times greater than for ITO target.

W25,000(TP equals target PE 17x 12 fwd EPS). The stock trades at 2011F PE of

14x that is a premium to the market average. The premium is justified by

expectations for sustainable growth fueled by: 1) display targets growth, 2) probable

adoption of oxide semiconductor in the display backplane process, and 3) diverse growth
