{"title":"The Growth of Flat-Panel TVs in the 21st Century","authors":"Stephen P. Atwood","doi":"10.1002/msid.1475","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/msid.1475","url":null,"abstract":"<p><b>THE FIRST DECADE OF THE 2000s WAS AN EXCITING TIME FOR THE</b> display industry. The period was marked by many milestones, including the extensive growth of flat-panel TVs—both in volume and literal size. An issue was whether thin-film transistor (TFT)-LCD or plasma display panels (PDP) would receive the lion's share of the consumer television business. It was believed that buyers would want large flat screens they could hang on their walls, and sizes of 42 inches or larger were needed to prove this speculation. The general thinking was that whoever could manufacture the most affordable large-size flat TVs with at least a minimum of performance would dominate the market, initiating the quest for large size and high volume.</p><p>Before 2000, PDPs mainly controlled the large-area direct-view space, with 50- and 60-inch panels coming into the market from Plasmaco, Pioneer, Fujitsu, and others. But as a new decade began, so did the rapid growth in the size of TFT-LCDs. Some notable milestones came from Samsung, who released 40-, 42-, 46-, and 57-inch panels in 2002 and 2004.<span><sup>1</sup></span> LG and Sharp followed suit, and by mid-2005, consumers had many new options.</p><p>A long period of investment began in 2004 with the manufacturing of equipment for LCDs, with a growth in mother-glass substrates from <1 meter per side to >2 meters by the end of the decade. In the October 2004 issue of <i>Information Display</i> (<i>ID</i>), Joe Hallet titled his SID 2004 Business Conference review article “Too Big for Roads.” It described how the industry was investing in manufacturing equipment that was literally too large to be transported on normal highways and heading toward an almost unbelievable scale<span><sup>2</sup></span> in size and volume (<b>Fig</b>. 1). Large substrate sizes meant lower individual panel costs and thus mass adoption of larger-sized TVs. In fact, the cost of large-size PDPs were lower in 2004 than equivalent LCDs, so PDP TVs had a head start in terms of cost and size. To gain ground, the LCD industry had to keep innovating.</p><p>The seeds for eventual LCD dominance still were being sown.</p><p>In 2004, LG Philips LCD received a SID Display of the Year award for the LC550W01-A5 LCD Module, the first commercially available TFT-LCD module for TV sets in the mid-50-inch range.</p><p>At Display Week 2005, there were some notable examples of sheer size capabilities, with Samsung showing both a 102-inch PDP and an 82-inch TFT-LCD (<b>Fig</b>. 2). The President and CEO of Samsung Electronics LCD business, Sang Wan Lee, doubled down in the symposium's first keynote address when he announced that Samsung would build a Gen 9 LCD fab within the next few years and forecasted the LCD-TV market to grow to 100 million units by 2010.<span><sup>4</sup></span></p><p>By Display Week 2007, many new LCD fabs had opened in the Gen 7 and larger sizes by Samsung, LG, Sharp, AUO, Chi Mei Optoelectronics, and others.
