Abstract
This report provides Taiwanese small- and medium-sized TFT-LCD panel shipment
volume and value forecasts, as well as recent quarter review of shipment
volume, shipment value, manufacturer volume rankings, and shipment by maker
for cell panels and modules using in-house produced cell panels. Also included
are product mix analyses, including major applications such as mobile phone,
PDA/PND, DSC, DVC, portable DVD, MP3/MP4 player, office applications,
automotive, and industrial equipment, as well as panel sizes. The content of
this report is based on primary data obtained through interviews with small-
and medium-sized TFT-LCD panel makers. This report finds that, due to the
global economic downturn and weak market demand worldwide, Taiwanese small-
and medium-sized TFT-LCD (Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display) panel
shipment volume saw significant declines in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Affected by the consequent inventory buildups at the distribution channels,
the first quarter of 2009 is projected to see further shipment declines.
However, although market demand remains unclear, shipment rebound is likely to
happen in the second quarter.
