Newsflash: LED-LCD TV sales to rise to 26m units in 2010

Market-research company Displaybank predicts steep rises in sales of LCD TVs with LED backlights. Sales are expected to increase from 3.16m units in 2009 to 25.9m units in 2010.

December 21, 2009 ― Research published in the last few days suggests that the LED-LCD TV market will see massive success in coming years. With just over 3 million such TVs sold in 2009, LED still represents only a small fraction of the LCD market; fluorescent lamps remain the prevalent backlight technology. But this looks set to change, with Displaybank predicting that 25.9m units will change hands throughout 2010. This figure will rise, the company says, to 129.1m units in 2013, meaning 61.5% of LCD TVs sold that year will use an LED backlight. There are two common forms of LED backlighting: One form places the LEDs behind the picture, allowing so-called local dimming to improve the picture's contrast; the other simply arranges the light source around the edge of the screen, allowing developers to build slimmer casings. The data show that consumers tend to favour the slim constructions made possible by edge-lit systems, which Displaybank predicts will account for 82% of LED-LCDs sold in 2010.
