In this paper, we discuss the global minimizers of a free energy for the superconducting thin films placed in a magnetic field $h_{e x}$ below the lower critical field $H_{c1}$ or between $H_{c1}$ and the upper critical field $H_{c2}$. For $h_{e x}$ is near but smaller than $H_{c1}$, we prove that the global minimizer having no vortex is unique. For $H_{c1}$<<$h_{e x}$<<$H_{c2}$, we prove that the density of the vortices of the global minimizer is proportional to the applied field.
