PDP, LCD TVs to stimulate markets, push technology forward

Article Abstract:

The demand for large-screen color plasma display panels (PDPs) is prompted largely by PDP TVs industrial and business applications. The reason for the development is cost. PDP prices of 1 million to 1.5 million yen make PDP cost prohibitive for consumers. The launch of broadcast satellite digital broadcasts prompted demand for large-screen PDP TVs, projection TVs and liquid crystal display TVs. Manufacturers have, therefore, stepped up development and sales of Japanese-specification models as large screens are advantageous for high-definition images.
