The FUTURE-OF-LCD Flat Panel Television

Asia puts its money on the line. Here's a hint as to the FUTURE-OF-LCD Flat Panel television: Somewhere in Korea, someone is packing up YOUR new television!

Asians have committed $35 billion in flat-panel capacity in 2004 and 2005.

Sony and Samsung have formed a partnership dedicated to the manufacturing of amorphous TFT LCD panels for LCD TVs. The facility boasts the most advanced manufacturing equipment for 7th generation LCD panels, with a production capacity of 60,000 panels/ month. The facility will operate as a major source for LCD panels to both Samsung and Sony.

Sharp announced recently a $1.46 billion investment in a liquid crystal display manufacturing plant in Kameyama City, Japan. The plant will produce large-screen LCD panels for use in LCD TVs 40 inches and above. Panel production is set to start in October of 2006.

A Seoul-based joint venture owned by LG Electronics and Royal Philips Electronics is spending $5.1 billion to create the world's largest plant for liquid-crystal displays.

Fuji Chimera Research Institute published "Worldwide Electronics Market 2004 - Comprehensive Study", an investigative report on the world market of 50 leading electronics devices and components. According to the investigative report, world production for the year 2007 will be 25 million for Liquid Crystal Display Television (a 6X increase compared to 2003.)

In Liquid Crystal Display Televisions, the dominant models for year 2003 were small models under the size of 20 inches, but it is forecast that the dominant models for year 2005-2006 will be 30 – 32 inch models.

In the US, Dell and HP are already two of the world's biggest buyers of flat-panel monitors, semiconductors, and other parts for PCs, so they have great leverage over the same Asian suppliers when it comes to sourcing thin-screen televisions.

For these reasons, in the foreseeable future it appears that the FUTURE-OF-LCD displays has them becoming the defacto standard in television until new technology replaces it.
