screen sizes, the fact that prices fell so far in 2009, and the increased share of more expensive LED-backlit LCD TV models, which carry a notable premium. Plasma TV unit shipments are expected to rise about 6% in 2010 to just over 15 million units, after a 2% decline in 2009, aided by more robust 40”+ growth and the introduction of 3D plasma TVs from a number of different manufacturers. CRT TV shipments will continue to fade from the market, falling by 36% in 2010 after a 40% drop in 2009.

among manufacturers in 2010, with LED models comprising more than 50% of some lineups, will drive that average premium down to less than 70% over 40” and as low as 17% at 22-24”. Overall, this should push the LED-backlit LCD TV market to more than 35 million units or 20% of total LCD TV shipments worldwide.”
DisplaySearch is now tracking LCD TV shipments by backlight type, breaking the market into edge-type and direct-type (full- array).For 2010 as a whole, almost 90% of LCD TVs will be of the edge-type variety. This is due to the lower cost associated with using a smaller number of LEDs at the perimeter, as well as the attractive thin and light form factor.

For 2010, companies throughout the supply chain are gearing up for a more aggressive rollout of LED models.

At larger screen sizes, the 120 Hz+ share jumps to more than 50%. Of course, on a revenue basis, the share is much higher due to the market premiums associated with high frame- rate models.
The DisplaySearch Q1’10 Quarterly Advanced Global TV Shipment and Forecast Report includes panel and TV shipments by region and by size for nearly 60 brands, and also includes rolling 16-quarter forecasts, TV cost/ price forecasts and design wins.
