2006 LCD-TV Backlight Report

Opportunity Analysis of CCFL and Alternative Technologies

Sales of large screen LCD-TVs are growing rapidly and are expected to continue to grow rapidly through the end of the decade and beyond. One of the limitations on penetration of LCD-TV into the HDTV market is cost. The Back Light Unit (BLU) is not only a major component in the cost of an LCD-TV, but problems with the BLU supply chain may create component shortages that limit TV sales. There is a need for all involved in large screen LCD-TV to understand the BLU supply chain, including technology, component suppliers and costs.

The objective of this 188-page report is to provide technology and manufacturing managers, product planners, engineers and researchers with the information needed to plan for large screen LCD-TV BLUs. The required information needed to make these decisions includes understanding the technology, performance requirements, cost information and supply chain issues of BLUs and their components.

2006 LED Projection Report

A study of the use of LEDs as an illumination source for projection systems

Virtually all microdisplay-based projection systems built to date have used an HID lamp such as the UHP as a light source. LEDs are beginning to appear as light sources to replace lamps so there is a need for an evaluation of LEDs in terms of technology, price and performance and to compare these parameters to the existing arc lamp sources and forecast the penetration of LEDs into the projection markets.

The objective of this 224-page report is to supply managers, product planners, engineers and researchers with the information needed to evaluate LED technology in proposed projection displays. The required information needed to make these decisions includes performance data, cost information and availability. Key to understanding these parameters is optical modeling of projection systems to determine how LED light can be coupled into the etendue of the projection system.

LED performance is expected to improve dramatically over the next several years. One objective of this report is to determine when it will be feasible to introduce LEDs into any particular segment of the projection market, in competition with HID lamps and lasers. The report includes the customer choice of 3 of 7 market segment analyses (rear-projection TV, home front projection Head-up Displays, Visualization/Simulation, E-Cinema, pocket projectors, integrated projectors)

2006 Laser Projection Report

A study of the use of lasers as an illumination source for projection systems

Virtually all microdisplay-based projection systems built to date have used an HID lamp such as the UHP as a light source. While lasers have been proposed as replacements for the lamp as far back as 1966, cost and performance of these systems has rarely been satisfactory. Today only extreme high-end projectors use laser illumination. There is a need for an evaluation of lasers in terms of technology, price and performance, and compare these parameters to the existing and forecast markets for projection systems.

This 159-page report supplies technologists, managers, product planners, engineers and researchers with the information needed to evaluate laser technology in proposed projection displays. The required information needed to make these decisions include performance data, colorimetry, laser power requirements, cost information and availability, forecasted from 2005-2010. Since the projection market includes segments that range from very low end to very high end, this report evaluates lasers from a few milliwatts to 5 watts of optical output per color, as well as a number of laser-based projection system architectures.

The report includes the customer choice of 3 of 7 market segment analyses (rear-projection TV, home front projection Head-up Displays, Visualization/Simulation, E-Cinema, pocket projectors, integrated projectors)

2006 Projection Lamp Report

Detailing the technology, trends, markets, forecasts and companies involved in High Intensity Discharge Lamps for Projection System Applications.

After rapid projection system growth in 2004 and 2005, the report finds that there is sufficient capacity to produce UHP-type lamps now and in the foreseeable future, with main growth engines coming from professional projection and lamp replacement markets. This should create stable demand, but with declining prices. Nevertheless, changes are coming rapidly.

As a result of rapid growth of flat panel TVs, we have reduced our forecast for microdisplay-based RPTVs, resulting in lower demand for new and replacement lamps. In addition, new illumination sources like LED and lasers are entering the market in 2006. Our forecast shows top-level penetration of these sources into the market for projection systems. In addition, there are new categories for projectors that could emerge to drive sales, such as low cost projection systems. Such new categories could represent opportunities for LED, laser and other HID illumination sources.

The objective of this report is to supply technologists, managers, product planners, engineers and researchers in both the lamp and the projection industries with the information needed to plan, design and manufacture the illumination stage of microdisplay-based projection displays. The required information needed to make these decisions includes performance data, cost information and availability, all forecasted from 2005-2009.

2006 Lamp Replacement Model

This series of six excel spreadsheets provides a baseline forecast and 18 linked user groups over the entire projection industry to forecast UHP-type lamp replacement needs. The model can be customized for individual analysis and "what if" scenarios.

This model represents pioneering work in the modeling of UHP-type lamp replacement needs for the projection industry. The sophisticated model approaches the market by dividing it into four segments and 18 user groups. Attributes are assigned to each user group to model characteristics of the lamp, projection product and usage, buying patterns and trends in alternative illumination and buying patterns.

The model is a bottom-up approach to estimating demand for replacement lamps and matches very well to our top-down approach profiled in the 2006 Projection Lamp Report.
