For decades display technology meant CRTs. In the 1980s, the arrival of
electronic games and cell phones resulted in the spread of primitive LED and LCD
displays. With HDTV now a reality, there has been a burst of activity with new
types of thinner, higher-resolution screens based on LCDs, plasma and even MEMS.
Nanotechnology now appears to offer some important new directions for displays
that could present serious challenges to established CRT, LCD and plasma
displays for the television and IT market, as well as revolutionary new flexible
displays that will address the needs of the burgeoning mobility market.
This report examines the impact that nanotechnology will have on the display
business and when that impact will occur. In addition to an assessment of the
new nanotech-enabled displays, this report also provides profiles and strategic
appraisals of firms active in the nanodisplay sector, along with an eight-year
market forecast broken out by display type, size and technology platform.
