Fuzzy picture on big screens
Sony has said it is seeking a new supplier of LCD panels for TV screens to make up for a possible shortage. But LG.Philips, the world's top maker of large LCD panels, cut its forecast amid tough competition and tepid World Cup-related sales.
Sony said panel supplies from S-LCD, its venture with South Korea’s Samsung, would not be enough to meet its plan to sell six million LCD televisions this business year to March. Sony’s Bravia brand LCD TVs have been selling well since their launch, and the company is now the world’s fourth-biggest LCD television maker when measured in units, and the world’s top LCD TV maker when measured in revenue -- due to the higher average selling prices of its sets.
The LG.Philips news came after Taiwan's AU Optronics, the world's number-three flat panel maker, said that it was trimming its second-quarter growth target for liquid crystal display (LCD) TV and PC monitor shipments amid faster-than-expected price declines.
