DisplaySearch market research industry in the Dec. 18 cut in 2009 global LCD TV sales to 640 billion dollars more this year, down 16% since 2000 Shangshi LCD TV, the first negative growth.
As the LCD TV shipments next year with shipments to both the amount of decline in LCD supply chain will have a significant impact, as first-line TV brands in order to maintain the standard of the amount shipped in the past, it is bound to expand market share to defend the war, will face second-line brand TV More severe competition.
DisplaySearch said that as the global economic downturn, the decision to ship next year under the revised forecast, with LCD TVs under the revised rates, mainly LCD TV shipments, or whether prices were at current prices decreased.
The agency said that the amended this year, the global LCD TV shipments to 100,000,000 2,000,000 units, over the previous forecast a reduction of 3,600,000 units, and 29 percent growth over last year. Revised next year the global LCD TV shipments to Taiwan 100,000,000 20,000,000, representing a reduction of the forecast prior to the 11,500,000 units, but this year, up 17% since the LCD TV also has the smallest rate of growth a year.
Throughout the television, this year’s forecast of global TV shipments will reach 26,000,000 units, compared with last year grew 3%; next year the global TV shipments will reach 200,000,000 5,000,000 units, this year will be down 3%, which is in the history of The first time in LCD TV shipments fell a record.

People are hoping to benefit from the clean energy agenda of President-elect Barack Obama.
It was raining outside, but Gov. Sonny Perdue used the formal opening of the state’s only solar power cell manufacturing plant Thursday to forecast good things for Georgia’s effort to become a center for clean energy.
“Folks, this is a big deal,” Perdue told the crowd gathered in Norcross for Suniva’s formal plant opening. The plant actually started production in October.
The company uses technology produced by a Georgia Tech scientist to cre
ate solar cells that Suniva officials say soak up the sun’s energy more efficiently and at lower cost than many other competing products. The cells made by Suniva go into solar-powered products manufactured by other companies.
The company says it has $1 billion in sales agreements with overseas solar module manufacturers. CEO John Baumstark said Thursday the company was in discussions with a U.S. company and hopes to have an announcement of a deal soon.
Suniva is also hoping to benefit from the clean energy agenda of President-elect Barack Obama.
Obama has said finding ways to expand the country’s alternative energy industry is one way he hopes to reduce the nation’s dependence on foreign oil, create jobs and lift the economy.
Even before Obama was elected, state officials wanted to capture a portion of the projected 440,000 new jobs and $325 billion in investments the solar field is expected to create in the next eight years, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association, a trade group.
Suniva received millions of dollars in tax incentives from the state, Gwinnett County and the city of Norcross to locate its plant and the 100 jobs it expects to create by the end of 2009. Another expansion in 2010 is expected to bring more jobs, Baumstark said.
Soon, technicians will be working around the clock every day of the year making solar cells at the plant, said Stephen Shea, vice president of manufacturing.
Ajeet Rohatgi, Suniva’s founder and the Georgia Tech professor who created the technology, said he’s been moved by the experience of creating the company.
Having grown up in India and seen the consequences of a lack of electricity, Rohatgi said he’s dedicated his life to making solar a viable alternative to conventionally produced power.
“Suniva’s a dream come true for me,” he said.

Taiwan solar makers grow sales 70 percent November 24, 2008

Manufacturers ramp production of higher-priced cells to fullfill demand from EU and Japan.
The top solar producers in Taiwan sold $1.1 billion in cells in the first half of 2008, according to new data from the Taiwan External Trade Development Council.
That revenue represents an increase of nearly 70 percent over the same period in 2007 thanks to strong demand from Europe, the group said.
The six leading solar cell makers—Motech Industrial, Gintech Energy, E-Ton Solar Tech, Sino-American Silicon Products, Sinonar and Green Energy Technology—racked up NT$35.6 billion ($1.1 billion) in sales, up from NT$21 billion in the first half of 2007, according to data reported to Taiwan’s stock exchange.
The increased sales were in part driven by higher selling prices for solarcells because of heightened demand thanks to higher oil prices, the trade council said. Subsidies for solar in Europe and Japan also accounted for some of the increased demand.
Additionally, Gintech was one of the new solar companies significantly ramping production, the council said (see MEMC, Gintech amend solar supply deal). In October, Gintech signed a 10-year, $3 billion to $4 billion deal to buy solar wafers to make into cells from St. Peters, Mo.-based MEMC Electronic Materials (NYSE:WFR).
Motech Industrial subsidiary Motech Solar has contracted to supply 11 megawatts of six-inch multi-crystalline photovoltaic cells in 2008 to Roseville, Calif.-based Solar Power Inc., with potential for a long-term supply agreement (see Solar Power in supply agreement with Motech).
Green Energy Technology said it has secured €39.86 million ($58.77 million) in orders to supply thin-film solar modules to Germany and Spain next year.
Applied Materials is investing $17 million to expand its equipment-manufacturing center in Taiwan, and Taiwan Glass Industrial has said it plans to invest $11.9 million to start production of glass for solar cells.
And Sino-American Silicon Products recently invested €30 million ($43 million) in Italy’s Silfab, a solar-grade polysilicon startup (see Windy dealmaking leads the week).
Taiwan Premier Liu Chao-shiuan has Taiwan’s solar industry production may reach NT$500 billion by 2012.
The report from the trade council said that in the first half of the year solar cell manufacturers were the best-performing segment in Taiwan’s high technology industry , which includes semiconductors, flat-panel displays, computers, mobile phones and digital music players.
