Large Display Industry Snapshot May 2010

The top news of the month came from the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) meeting in Las Vegas, and the key take away from this event was the industry’s ability to introduce 3D broadcasting, or as one vendor put it “glass to glass,” from camera lens to the home TV set. Some vendors offered end-to-end solutions; others specialized on a single piece of the broadcast puzzle. In addition to extensive vendor coverage, LDR has coverage of key NAB sessions including the Digital Cinema Summit. NAB is a big show and Large Display Report has articles from NAB written by 6 of our analysts. This 120+-page issue of LDR also covers the rest of the key news in the display industry during the month of April.

For NAB and the rest of the display industry news, our “beyond the headlines” approach that digs deeper into news events tells “the why” behind the news with new technologies and companies you don't normally hear about in mainstream media. And, we seek to uncover new information that you won't find anywhere else. Here are some of the items of note for this month, listed by category:
