Straight down LED backlit LCD panel will explode in 2012

DisplaySearch NPD according to the latest quarterly survey pointed out that the large size TFT-LCD panel shipment two trends, one is a tablet computer continues to move higher resolution direction by the panel, and the low cost of direct type LED backlight panel will gradually become a mainstream TFT-LCD TV panel.

NPD DisplaySearch forecast, the second quarter of 2012 showed that the average tablet computer screen resolution will be more than 200ppi. First quarter LED backlight (including side light and straight down) shipments accounted for more than half of the total LCD TV panel shipments. In addition, the third quarter straight down LED backlight LCD TV panel will account for the total shipments of 5%.

"The TFT-LCD industry is experiencing some unexpected developments, such as higher resolution applied to tablet PC panel and straight down LED backlight development. With the widespread use of tablet PCs in the field of multimedia, panel manufacturers continue to improve the resolution panel. "NPD DisplaySearch China Deputy General Manager Hsieh said," at the same time, the rapid development of LCD TV in emerging markets has prompted panel manufacturers actively develop more suitable for the region's products, such as the use of low cost direct type LED backlight panel, although similar to the traditional CCFL module structure, but more energy saving features can improve consumer purchase intention. "

Hsieh continued: "although the development of high-resolution flat panel computer is also facing many technical challenges, but high resolution and ultra-thin display panel can help manufacturers improve the price. But on the other hand, low-cost direct LED backlight manufacturers can reduce the price panel".

10.1 "1920 x 1200, panel 9.7" 2048 x 1536 high resolution tablet computer is expected to be released by the end of 2011, the average resolution of which will lead to the second quarter of 2012 increased to more than 200ppi personal computer. Global size TFT-LCD panel in the first quarter of 2012, the average resolution is estimated to exceed 100ppi, the third quarter will exceed 110ppi.

2011 third quarter, LED backlight LCD TV shipments accounted for 39%, in the second quarter of 2012, LED backlight penetration is expected to exceed 50%, and in the third quarter to reach 53%. The continuous improvement of the permeability is mainly due to the advantages of low energy consumption, ultra-thin and environmental protection of LED backlight. Many panel manufacturers to develop low-cost direct LED backlight, although the thickness increases, but the cost is reduced while maintaining the advantages of LED energy saving. Some panel manufacturers will be directly under the LED backlight applied to 39 and 50 and other new dimensions, thereby providing a higher cost TV for developing countries.
