The Taiwanese LCD Panel Industry, 1Q 2009

Research and Markets (

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.
