CES, LAS VEGAS, January 07, 2002 - LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd., a leading innovator of TFT LCD (thin-film transistor liquid crystal display) technology, showcases its portfolio of products for LCD TVs this week during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2002 held in Las Vegas. Specifically, the company is demonstrating its latest wide-format 17W and 30W modules ("W" for 16:10 or 16:9 wide-aspect ratio displays), as well as its 20.1-inch VGA LCD in its technology suite at the Four Seasons Hotel.
According to David E. Mentley of San Jose, Calif. based market research firm Stanford Resources iSuppli, "The LCD TV emerged this past year along with the LCD monitor market with over a 100 percent growth in units of each in 2001 (versus 2000). The LCD TV market, though small today, will exceed 7 million units by 2005 with the arrival of video-optimized LCD technology and prices compatible with the consumer market. LG.Philips LCD is the world's leading supplier of LCDs to the monitor market today with over 20 percent share in 2001, which should help them to become a leader in the growing new field of LCD TVs."
