PIDA:2010 living room TV mainstream size of 65 inches

From 2003 TFT-LCD penetration to the TV market, the annual size continue to overweight has increased, the mainstream market from 2006 to 2007 is 32 inches, the living room the mainstream market sizes of 40 or 42 inches, or PDP rear projection TV market has been eroded, with the 2009 mainstream size may be promoted to 50 inches, the ultimate size of the market acceptable will where? The industry believes that, according to the best viewing distance of the human eye, and the width of the North American family living room, the living room or the North American market may be the ultimate size of 65 inches, the development time will be around 2010.

In 2007 TFT-LCD industry boom turned red, Taiwan industrial scale for the first time exceeded NT 2 trillion yuan, the annual growth rate reached 32%, according to the photoelectric technology industry association (PIDA) estimates that in 2008 Taiwan photovoltaic industry will reach 2 trillion and 40 billion yuan, growth of about 15%, and in 2011 officially broke through the $100 billion to NT $3 trillion yuan total output value scale.

Although 2003~2008 is the most beautiful period of development of TFT-LCD technology in the market, successfully won the original PDP and rear projection TV LCD market, but PIDA pointed out that in 2008 AMOLED will rise gradually mature, have the opportunity to challenge the existing TFT power, a large display size of the mainstream market continue to push up, almost every year has increased amazing 10 inches.
