In our daily lives, we frequently encounter liquid crystal display (LCD) devices such as smartphone screens, computer monitors, digital signage in shopping malls, electronic bus route signs, and video walls in control centers. All of these display products rely on liquid crystal materials as a core component during production.
As LCD technology continues to expand across consumer electronics, commercial displays, and industrial applications, demand for liquid crystal materials has grown rapidly. This increasing demand has significantly promoted the development of China’s liquid crystal material industry. According to market research reports, China’s liquid crystal material market size is expected to reach RMB 8 billion by 2026.
In this article, we introduce the top 10 liquid crystal material manufacturers in China and explore how their materials support global display brands such as Qtenboard, a leading downstream manufacturer of interactive flat panels and LCD video walls.
Slichem was founded by Tsinghua University’s liquid crystal materials innovation team and is China’s first hybrid liquid crystal material manufacturer. It is currently the largest supplier among the top 10 liquid crystal material manufacturers in China, offering the most comprehensive product portfolio.
Its core products include monochrome liquid crystals, TFT-LCD materials, dye-based liquid crystals, OLED materials, and optical adhesive materials. Slichem has also developed high-speed response liquid crystal compositions to support 8K ultra-high-definition gaming monitors, enabling display brands to improve refresh rates and motion performance.
Established in 2004, BaYi Space focuses on liquid crystal display materials, OLED materials, semiconductor materials, and pharmaceutical materials. Liquid crystal display materials are its core business and are widely used by leading panel manufacturers such as BOE.
BaYi Space also offers LCD materials designed for gaming displays, automotive displays, and small-to-medium-sized screens, making it a reliable supplier for specialized LCD applications.
Founded in 1999, Manareco specializes in OLED materials, liquid crystal monomers, and liquid crystal blends. Its liquid crystal monomers are mainly used in TFT-LCD display panels, while its OLED materials are supplied to global brands such as Samsung and LG.
Manareco plays an important role in supporting both LCD and OLED display supply chains.
VALIANT produces TFT, LCD, and OLED liquid crystal materials and is currently the only Chinese supplier providing liquid crystal monomers to global chemical leaders such as Merck (Germany), JNC, and DIC (Japan).
VALIANT is also expanding into photoresist materials and finished PI materials, further strengthening China’s position in the global display materials market.
Established in 2022, HCCH focuses on OLED materials, liquid crystal display materials, and optical film functional materials. In 2025, HCCH acquired 100% ownership of JNC Suzhou, including all related liquid crystal patents.
Its production capacity enables support for displays ranging from small and medium sizes to large-format screens, meeting the growing demand of commercial and industrial display applications.
Founded in 1999, YONTA initially focused on fluorine-based fine chemicals. Today, its liquid crystal materials cover intermediates, monomers, and mixed-crystal materials, with stable supply for various mainstream LCD applications.
CHEMSPEC specializes in fluorinated liquid crystal intermediates and monomers. Liquid crystal monomers account for the largest portion of its revenue and are mainly supplied to JNC Japan, while intermediates are supplied to Merck Germany and leading Chinese manufacturers.
Established in 1997, Derun focuses on R&D and production of liquid crystal intermediates and monomers. Its high-end TFT liquid crystal material base can produce hundreds of tons of high-performance materials annually, supporting large-scale LCD manufacturing.
Founded in 2003, Allchemy specializes in fine chemical materials, including high-performance liquid crystals and TFT LCD materials. It supports customized liquid crystal development and serves customers across Japan, Europe, and the United States, demonstrating strong international market experience.
Established in 2006, MST provides liquid crystal intermediates, monomers, and mixed liquid crystal materials, covering TN, STN, and TFT types. Many mid-to-high-end monochrome display devices globally use MST’s liquid crystal materials.
As a global source factory and OEM/ODM manufacturer, Qtenboard works closely with upstream panel and material ecosystems. Qtenboard’s product portfolio includes:
The performance, stability, and lifespan of these products depend heavily on high-quality liquid crystal materials supplied by leading manufacturers in China. Through long-term large-scale deployment worldwide, Qtenboard verifies the reliability of Chinese-made liquid crystal materials in real commercial environments.
With global supply capability, strict quality control, and professional after-sales support, Qtenboard has built strong trust among customers across multiple countries and regions.
For a long time, the global liquid crystal material market was dominated by German and Japanese companies due to patent barriers and strict customer certifications. However, with rapid technological advancement and industrial upgrades, Chinese liquid crystal material manufacturers have significantly increased their global market share.
Today, these materials are widely used in consumer electronics, commercial displays, and large-scale professional systems supplied by brands such as Qtenboard. As demand for high-resolution, large-size, Atlong-lifecycle displays continues to grow, China’s liquid crystal material industry will play an increasingly critical role in the global display supply chain.
