Abstract

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 further declined in the fourth quarter of 2008, as panel makers reduced production in reaction to the impact of the global economic downturn. In the first quarter of 2009, the decline in shipment volume of the industry was expected to slow down after two quarters of production cuts.
