Demand continues rising for LCD displays
by Mike Adams, NaturalNews Editor
LCD displays are in high demand, and manufacturers can't churn them out quickly enough, it seems.
- Surging demand for notebook computers, televisions and desktop PC
monitors have spurred a shortage for the most popular sizes of
liquid-crystal display panels.
- In a report published Monday, iSuppli/Stanford Resources analyst Rhoda
Alexander said the shortage is leading to price increases for the
holiday season.
- "Capacity now coming online from fifth-generation LCD fabs (fabrication
plants) is being sucked up in a perfect storm of panel demand,"
Alexander wrote.
- Worldwide shipments of LCD televisions hit 734,000 in the first quarter,
up 223 percent from the first quarter of last year, according to market
research firm DisplaySearch.
- Dell has introduced a multifunction LCD television and computer screen,
and Gateway has launched several plasma and LCD televisions.
