This research report presents shipment volume and value forecast and recent quarter review of the Taiwanese large area TFT-LCD panel industry. The report includes shipment volume, value, ASP, shipment by maker, shipment by size, and shipment by application. The report provides product mix analyses including monitor, notebook PC, and LCD TV panel. The content of this report is based on primary data obtained through interviews with large area TFT-LCD panel manufacturers. The report finds that the Taiwanese large area TFT-LCD panel industry' s shipment volume increased significantly in the second quarter of 2009, mainly as a result of postponed shipments from the first quarter. In the third quarter of 2009, glass substrate shortages are expected to limit shipment growth of the industry, and panel price increases are expected to slow down.
