On the one hand, Huawei has grown into a giant today. And it urgently needs more business lines to support its huge size. Especially under the pressure of the United States, new product lines are needed to increase revenue and increase profits.

The so-called Huawei display can be used in personal desktop computers, office computers, etc. In the future multi-screen world, the display is the connection medium between the virtual world and the real world.
Will Huawei Display Struggle Against Xiaomi Monitor?
In addition, the display is obviously a part of the Internet of Things. So it attracts many companies such as Huawei and Xiaomi. As early as 2019, Xiaomi has entered the display market. In October last year, Xiaomi first released a 23.8-inch flat-panel display and a 34-inch curved display (suitable for gaming and movie viewing).
With the ability to control the cost of the industry chain, Xiaomi will also be the price butcher. Now, how will the display market change next to Huawei?
