New Report is a Study on the Functioning and Performance of the LCD Glass Substrate Industry

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c84399) has announced the
addition of "LCD Glass Substrates Industry: Growth and Opportunities"
to their offering.

The glass substrate industry is witnessing rapid growth in
technological innovation driven by the market demand for larger size
glasses. Advancement in the size of display glasses or shifting from
one generation of glass to another generation is driven by the need
for bringing about economies of scale in the utilization of these
glasses.

So, with increasing demand for larger size LCD glasses, Corning,
the leader in the LCD glass substrate industry, along with Asahi Glass
and Nippon Electric Glass are investing in technologies to fulfill the
increasing demand for larger glass substrates. Corning has in fact
started working on Generation 10 glass substrates that will have the
capability of producing 15 42-inch panels as compared to only eight
42-inch panels that could be realized from Generation 5 substrates.

Although LCD glass substrates find their applications in LCD
television panels, notebooks, PC monitors and handsets, the growth of
the substrate market is mostly driven by the increasing demand for LCD
televisions. As LCD televisions are fast replacing CRTs and its
penetration rate is still very low in the North American and European
regions, there is going to be higher level of growth for LCD TVs.
Glass substrate industry, the suppliers to LCD panel makers are
expected to make huge gains from the growth of LCD TVs.

It analyzes the supply chain of the LCD glass industry and
presents the size and growth of the industry over the years. It also
assesses the growth drivers and the factors that are creating business
opportunities for the glass substrate makers. The share, performance
and strategies of the three leading companies - Corning, Asahi Glass
and Nippon Electric have been analyzed in the report. Further, the
future of the LCD glass industry and the growth of the LCD glass
substrate in each application - LCD TV, notebooks, PC monitors and
mobile handsets have been assessed in the report.
