TFT to Pass CRT Monitor Production in 2004
Comment | Print | Email to a Friend | Font Size: AASouth Korea based Samsung Electronics plans to open a 100,000 sq. meter factory in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, China.

Maybe now the prices will come down to a competetive rate, or at least one that won't clean out the pocketbook!

Earlier this week research firm Displaysearch predicted that revenues from LCD screens would outstrip CRT revenues this year, and that LCD unit volumes would move past CRT volumes in 2004.More information @ The Register
