Guangdong: The Epicenter of Display Innovation

This is one of the world's top places for screen manufacturing. In an area of less than 500 square kilometers, one-seventh of the world's display screens and one-third of global TV main control boards are made here.

This place shines with its screen-making prowess. TVs can be bigger, and bigger. Lenses can be thinner, and thinner. There's even the "printed screen" you've never seen before. This world-leading printed OLED production line is pushing the boundaries of what a screen can do.

The epicenter of this display revolution is Huangpu District in Guangzhou, South China's Guangdong province. Today, Huangpu District has formed a full-chain new display industrial "valley." It houses over 130 industrial enterprises above the designated size. Its output value hit nearly 130 billion yuan in the first eleven months of 2025. From R&D and display materials to panels, modules, and end applications, a screen can complete its entire life cycle within a few streets in this valley.

That's what makes these "industry valleys" amazing. Whether you're a boss or an employee, working here guarantees you top-notch performance. Your neighbor is your client. Your supplier is upstairs. Outside the window lies a 150-million-strong consumer market. A great product can quickly go through trial and error, launch, and take off, catching global competitors completely off guard.

Guangdong has many more such emerging industry valleys. Each is a magnet for investors and professionals worldwide. If you're into robotics, take Shenzhen Metro Line 5 and you'll pass through one of the world's busiest robot corridors. Liuxian Boulevard is lined with numerous robot giants and R&D institutes.

These valleys come in all shapes and forms, yet they share one thing in common: They are not just geographical terms. A cluster of factories doesn't make a "valley." They are "gravitational fields" for innovative resources. Leveraging 40 years of manufacturing heritage and digital transformation, Guangdong attracts talent, technology, and capital like a magnet. It allows industrial chains to assemble freely like LEGO bricks, spawning new industry species at lightning speed.

As these new species mature and expand, they can evolve into larger industrial clusters. Guangdong now has nine trillion-yuan industrial clusters, with the ultra-high-definition display industry poised to be the 10th. Besides, eight advanced manufacturing clusters have been selected as national champions. By 2027, it plans to build three world-class trillion-yuan digital industry clusters.

What does that mean? Whether you're a professional, entrepreneur, or investor, or just a consumer who loves smart living, Guangdong products could become your go-to choice for "future life." Use software designed in Guangdong. Wear AI glasses made in Guangdong. Drive cars built in Guangdong.

Perhaps those building the future in Guangdong's industry valleys are brewing the next round of transformations. Or perhaps—you are the next player in this industrial revolution.
