Abstract
Worldwide small- and medium-sized FPD shipment volume in 2008 reached
approximately 2.9 billion units, and shipment value reached approximately
US$17.5 billion.
Shipment volume and value grew 5.4% and 2.7% respectively compared to 2007,
which was mainly caused by the emergence of new application markets such as
netbook, e-book reader and DPF display. However, the economic downturn has
impacted the outlook for shipment volume and value in 2009. As for
technologies, a-Si TFT-LCD accounts for almost 60% of worldwide smalland
medium-sized FPD shipment value, consolidating its position as the mainstream
technology. More than 50% of worldwide small- and medium-sized FPD panels are
used in mobile phones. The mainstream technology TFT-LCD and the major market
mobile phone are moving towards maturity; therefore, if no new display
technologies or application products will emerge strongly, the worldwide
small- and medium-sized FPD industry will experience slowing growth and
declining profits. This report provides a detailed forecast for the worldwide
small- and medium-sized FPD industry for the period 2009-2013.
