LCDs to out-sell CRTs by 2009, says research firm
LCD televisions will outsell the traditional CRTs by 2009, according to new market analysis.
iSuppli, the electronics market intelligence firm, says huge price falls and an increasing willingness to adopt the technology from consumers will drive the demand for LCDs.
"Increased production capacity from sixth- , seventh- and eighth-generation LCD fabs has led to rising availability and decreasing costs for the types of large-sized panels used in televisions,” said Sweta Dash, director of LCD and projection research for iSuppli.
With its adoption rate accelerating, iSupply believes LCD will become the leading technology for television screens by 2009, accounting for 48% of factory shipments. The CRT market share will decline to 42% that year; the first time ever that CRT is not the leading technology for television display.
