LG.Philips is new king of LCD panels
Sorry Samsung, but there's a new king and his name is LG.Philips. The former number one LCD panel maker was dethroned by LG.Philips as the largest LCD manufacturer in the world. The market shares for all panels ten inches and above top out at 21.5% globally for LG.Philips, while Samsung captured 20.9% in 2005. The new champ is betting heavily on increased HDTV adoption in the LCD segment; sounds like a safe bet to us, at least until those new-fangled SED sets hit the shelves before the year end.
