Taiwanese producers flat out


Shipments
of 40-inch and larger of double-frame rate (100Hz and 120Hz) and quadruple-frame rate (200Hz and 240Hz) LCD TV panels are increasing rapidly according to Taiwanese analysts.

They are predicting that shipments for double frame rate units will increase by 40 per cent and triple rate LCDs will increase by 10 per cent. This means that manufacturers will have to make 16.9 million double frame rate units and 4.2 million units triple frame rate machines.

According to David Hsieh, VP of DisplaySearch double- and quadruple-frame rates have emerged as the solution to motion blur issues. He is predicting that half of all 40-inch and larger LCD TV panels will be double- or quadruple-frame rate panels in 2009. Panel makers are promoting double-frame rate panels combined with LED backlights as a combined solution to upgrade LCD TV features, he said. In the second quarter, 100/120 Hz and 200/240 Hz achieved greater than a half share in several sizes like 40-inch, 46-inch, 52-inch and above.

DisplaySearch forecasts that share in the third quarter of 2009 of 100/120Hz and 200/240Hz frame rate will reach 17.2 per cent and 3.2 percent.  In the first quarter of 2010 will increase to 21.9 per cent and 5.7 percent because  LCD TV panel makers are aggressively developing upgraded refresh rate panels for additional value.
