Green Display Industry Report Released

Insight Media announces the release of its Green Display Report: The Business Threats and Opportunities of Green Displays. This comprehensive report covers all aspects of display manufacture, use and disposal for laptops, monitors and TVs.

For the display industry the move to greener products will be a critical dynamic for at least the next several years, and reduced product energy consumption is only the most obvious part of it. This report defines the parameters of green displays and explains the trends in designing, manufacturing, assessing, applying and selling displays that, along with the processes with which they are made, reduce power consumption and minimize impact on the atmospheric and terrestrial environments. Equally important to industry participants, it explores the commercial opportunities and challenges at each step in the display-product life cycle.

“This is the industry’s first comprehensive report dedicated to understanding all aspects of the green movement as applied to displays and display-based products, noted Insight Media President Chris Chinnock, and editor of the report. “In addition, we just completed the first conference dedicated to the same topic – the Green Display Expo. Our report finds, and attendees at this event confirmed, that the green display ecosystem is complex, vast and multi-faceted. And understanding these trends and embracing them will be a key part of successful business strategies going forward. Helping companies to comprehend and thrive in this new “green” environment for displays was the key goal of the report and the conference.”

The report answers a number of key questions, including:

What makes a display green?
Why, from a business perspective, should display companies be green?
Do green display products sell better?
How will green practices change the display supply chain?
What should companies do about regulations and labeling programs?
What is the impact of recycling and recovery programs?

“Most efforts to classify a display product as green focus on the energy consumption,” noted report analyst Ken Werner. “The industry has made great strides in this area and continues to do so, but there is more to being green than simply reducing power use. We can identify green attributes of a display, but we need to build industry consensus on the definition of a green display or display-based product in order to provide fair and useful information to consumers.”

“In terms of labeling and e-waste recovery systems, there are too many of them, which is creating a burden on manufacturers that will lead to increased costs,” stated the other lead analyst, Phillip Wright. “We believe a harmonization of these efforts is also needed.”

The Green Display Expo reinforced these and many other aspects of the challenges and opportunities that face the industry. Green and lower-power products can offer a competitive advantage, so companies need to understand the best ways to achieve this.

The report is available immediately, as are the Proceedings for the Green Display Expo. A special bundle deal is also being offered. A single site license for the bundled Green Display Report and the Green Display Expo Proceedings is available for $1595.00.
