碩士 === 大葉大學 === 事業經營研究所 === 93 === The current study considered the industrial ecology, industrial evolution, life cycle, and strategy matrix analysis as the foundation of theory. Using the secondary materials, the authors intended to induct the holistic common concepts between CRT and TFT-LCD industries, which mutually been verified with the above theories. The industry analysis method was adopted to investigate the CRT and TFT-LCD technology evolution, industrial structure, tendency pulsation, and their life cycles. Moreover, an empirical study is conducted to compare and analyze the two industries’ trends of technology development. The issues and relations of CRT and TFT-LCD industries were discussed to build a model of technology development, which can help the practitioners to face the industrial changes and expand the international market. The results indicated that the development of CRT and TFT-LCD industries is highly related. Their relations of technology development are continuous rather than discrete. By observing the trends and pulsation of CRT industry, one can predict the future development patterns of TFT-LCD industry. Based on the analysis of industrial and technological life cycles, the study found that the PLC of CRT is about 40 years, while TFT-LCD is only near 20 years. It seems true that the TFT-LCD technological life cycle of each generation ranges form 1.5 to 2 years, and there is a certain characteristics of double output of production volume when the TFT-LCD product’s technology proceeds to next generation.
