07 LCD high raw material value of the first row of backlight module

DisplaySearch TFT LCD recently published semi-annual report pointed out that the key components of raw materials cum, 2007 for the TFT LCD panel makers is a fruitful year, and TL074CN datasheet and thus led to the upper reaches of glass and TL074CN price and color filters produced in the second half of 2007 the shortage, while in 2007 all the materials and TL074CN suppliers and key components of the vendors also have very good results. However, most materials prices continue to decline, especially the many new companies joining the field of optical thin film faced fierce price competition.

Panel manufacturers in 2007 because of the amount of investment in new capacity is not high, DisplaySearch TFT LCD materials in 2008 is expected to increase only 6% more than in 2007, the overall estimated value of 550 billion dollars. Observed DisplaySearch, TFT LCD materials and components market is gradually showing polarized, glass substrates and liquid crystal materials for high barriers to entry areas, will have high growth companies to liquid crystal materials, the expected output in 2008 will amounted to 16 billion U.S. dollars, up 23% in 2007.

The other hand, for such as driver IC, backlight module and more entrants to the field, while demand continues to increase, but under the influence of falling prices, the output value will be basically flat in 2007, but will face pressure to cut costs to backlight modules and driver ICs for, DisplaySearch expects its 2008 output will maintain the same level in 2007. The newly published

DisplaySearch TFT LCD Materials and other semi-annual report focused on the following key components:

The high-tech and high capital threshold limit new entrants to the glass substrate and glass substrate makers to avoid the possible expansion of production capacity have much over-supply situation is expected in 2008 TFT LCD glass substrate shortage will continue.

Of professional color filter manufacturers to invest in the construction as panel color filter plant in the factory production line is more positive side, the second half of 2007 led to a shortfall of supply of color filters, color filters is expected to continue in 2008 tight supply situation there. However, the Taiwan and Korean panel makers continue to cause cost-competitive large-size color filter prices for the third consecutive annual decline of 20-30%.

TFT LCD panel backlight module is the highest in the unit price of components, on the one hand by suppliers to maintain competitive prices, while manufacturers continue to research and development to improve the cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) to increase the brightness product cost, material in the field is expected annual output value in 2008 will be flat in 2007
