DisplayForum Speaker Predicts Changes to LCD TV Market
DATE: 08th January 2003

In 2006 you will be able to buy a LCD TV for $999. This new forecast is based on a detailed analysis of the market presented at DisplayForum, by Ross Young, President of DisplaySearch.. It is hugely significant for both LCDs and TVs and will change the shape of the TV market completely. The prediction draws on knowledge of technological advances and improved availability of larger panels which will reduce costs and heighten demand.

This was just one of the revelations presented at the successful Meko and DisplaySearch conference held on 11-12 December in Nice, France. Top level speakers from leading IT and Display companies including Samsung, IBM, HP, Dell, Sony, NEC-Mitsubishi, Kodak and Nokia discussed technology and marketing issues, and shared a glimpse of the future direction of those who shape the industry.

Groundbreaking advances in OLED technology were shared by some of the front runners in the field, including Cambridge Display Technology and Universal Display Corporation.

Those who missed out on the event can buy a full set of the presentations, including detailed forecasts and analyses for each session, showing how the different displays markets are developing and the implications for buyers, sellers and investors in LCD and other display technologies.
