CQ- Ultra-HD shipments top 1m

The market for Ultra-HD TV panels reached a significant new benchmark in March when global shipments exceeded 1 million units for the first time, driven by vastly increased deliveries from the industry’s three largest makers of the high-end panels, according to a report from IHS Technology.
UHD TV panel shipments amounted to 1.1 million units in March, nearly a threefold increase from 384,300 units a month earlier in February. The gains are even more spectacular when measured from the same time a year ago in March 2012, when total UHD TV panels had not yet cracked the 150,000 mark.
Contributing to the market’s exceptional showing in March were UHD pre-stocking orders for China’s Labor Day holiday at the beginning of May, and the FIFA World Cup in June. Holidays in China are often a high point of anticipation for panel makers as Chinese consumers shop more, while global sports events like the World Cup trigger higher sales than usual for large-sized or higher-technology television sets.
UHD TV panels feature four times the resolution of full high-definition 1080p panels, boasting even higher contrast ratios and extremely lifelike images. Underscoring the dramatic surge of shipments in March, four of the market’s six panel makers enjoyed shipment growth rates last month exceeding 100 percent compared to February levels.
Of the world’s six top UHD TV panel makers, Taiwan’s Innolux led the market in March. Its shipments for 50-inch panels alone amounted to approximately 210,000 units, making up 47 per cent of the firm’s total UHD TV panel deliveries. In second place was Samsung of South Korea, whose 55-inch panels climbed 160 percent for the month, in third place was fellow Korean maker LG, AUO of Taiwan in fourth place, China’s CSOT in fifth, and Japan’s Sharp in sixth.
