Quinn Pacific and the Supply Chain Alliance Join the "LCD TV Association" and It`s Support of Green TVs and a Greener Supply Chain

SAN ANTONIO--(Business Wire)--
The LCD TV Association, a global, not-for-profit marketing trade association
chartered to inform, promote, improve and connect the entire LCD TV supply
chain, today announced that Quinn Pacific, a company which helps high tech firms
create value via technology transfer and IP related efforts, and the Supply
Chain Alliance (SCA), a professional services provider throughout a product's
entire life cycle , have joined the LCD TV Association to help provide even
better products and strengthen the LCD TV supply chain globally.

"Quinn Pacific is excited to become a part of the LCD TV Association, an
organization dedicated to helping its members, the industry and even society as
a whole through promoting better and more efficient LCD TVs globally," noted Ian
Watson, CEO of Quinn Pacific

Mark Hanson, the SCA`s CEO, also added, "SCA is excited today to become an
official member and supporter of the LCD TV Association. It is clear that the
LCD TV Association is well positioned to provide both its members and the
industry with the leadership, professional guidance and support needed to both
improve the customer experience and lower total cost of service."

"As we continue to navigate through this current, but temporary, challenging
economy and progress through the U.S. digital TV transition by June 2009 with
other countries to follow, it becomes even more important for the LCD TV
industry and supply chain to join forces to advance the industry as a whole and
provide the best possible value proposition for consumers. We are pleased to
welcome these new members to help us support this effort, as well as the further
greening of the products and supply chain of the entire LCD TV ecosystem," noted
Bruce Berkoff, Chairman of the LCD TV Association.

The LCD TV Association also is pleased to announce continued interest and
acceptance of its GreenTV logo program in general support for more earth
friendly TVs (visit
http://www.lcdtvassociation.org/greentv/certifiedgreentvs.html for more detailed
information). The LCD TV Association`s GreenTV logo program was launched last
year in an effort to help focus LCD TV manufacturers and brands on reducing the
power consumption of LCD TVs and raising consumer awareness of this important
issue. The program currently aims to work with major TV vendors to implement and
promote ambient light sensors, which will automatically lower the set brightness
in a dark room by decreasing power to the backlight-thus saving energy and
actually reducing potential eyestrain as well. This can reduce power consumption
by at least 30%, and as much as 60%, in current implementations. Participants in
the program are awarded the right to use the Association`s unique GreenTV logo
on products, packaging and advertising materials to help consumers identify
these specifically enabled and wonderfully featured sets.

In the future, this program will not only work to increase energy efficiency
further, but help reduce the carbon footprint of LCD TV sets (via smaller
designs & shipping boxes and thus better logistics costs), as well as make them
more recyclable and ecologically friendly from the start (less heavy metals,
etc.)-leveraging the best, innovative technologies from companies like Corning
and Merck KGaA, (both 2009 SID Display of the Year Award recipients), as well as
utilizing more LEDs for lighting, and other "earth" saving technologies. Learn

During DisplaySearch`s SID Business Conference on Monday, June 1, the LCD TV
Association will also participate in an engaging discussion on the "TV
Roundtable: Chasing the Biggest Market" to discuss competitive display
technologies, and which current leading display technology will remain very
competitive for many years to come. For more information visit
