AUSTIN, TX-- According to a DisplaySearch report, shipments of large-sized (10-inch plus) thin-film transistor, liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) panels reached 10.6 million units in the first quarter, up 63% sequentially and 78% year-on-year.

A total of 70.8 billion LEDs were shipped in 2008. Shipments of LED backlights for large-size (10-inch plus) TFT LCDs will exceed 368 million in 2012.

LED backlights in notebook PCs will reach 52% in 2009, and will grow rapidly to 81% in 2010. Usage in LCD TVs will ramp up from 3% (3.6 million units) in 2009 to 10% (15 million units) in 2010.

“LEDs will create new growth for the TFT LCD industry due to characteristics such as lowering power consumption, meeting green requirements, adding dimming capability, improving color performance and enabling slim and light form factors for LCD panels and applications,” noted Yoshio Tamura, vice president of DisplaySearch and the component research team leader.
