This technology-marketing report examines and projects the technologies involved in the fabrication of Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD), their likely developments, why and when their or demise will take place, what problems and choices are facing users, and where the opportunities and pitfalls are. This report discusses the technology trends, products, applications, and suppliers of materials and equipment. It also gives insights to suppliers for future user needs and should assist them in long-range planning, new product development and product improvement. While the Japanese dominates the LCD market, the race for the $8 billion equipment and materials market by 2003 is still wide open to U.S. and European players. http://www.physorg.com/news939.html Technology Wed, 25 Aug 2004 07:47:36 EST news939
