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 the sequential
decline of Taiwanese small- and medium-sized TFT-LCD panel shipment volume in
the first quarter of 2009 was smaller than in the same period of previous
years, as shipment in the fourth quarter of 2008 had lacked the traditional
peak-season effect. Furthermore, shipment differences between the first and
second half of the year are expected to become smaller in 2009, with the
shipment ratio between the first and second half expected to be close to 1:1.
