After experiencing decline in end market demand last year, consumer electronics vendors now attempt to improve their profitability via differentiation. The PC gaming market is currently one of the niche segments that have huge opportunities. Thus, an increasing number of electronics brands are aggressively establishing themselves in the gaming PC hardware market. Part of their motivation comes from the rise of VR devices, which are expected to generate demand for new and better hardware.
WitsView, a division of TrendForce, reports that the total shipments of curved-screen monitors reached almost 900,000 units in 2015, the first year that the product was sold on the market. With more brands entering the curved-screen monitor market and strong demand from Internet cafés in China, WitsView projects that about 1.8 million curved-screen monitors will be shipped this year, an increase from an earlier estimation of 1.5 million units.
WitsView, a division of TrendForce, has published its latest report on the global production capacity of large-size LCD panels. According to the report, large-size LCD panels by supply area for the first quarter of this year fell by 1.3% compared with the previous quarter. This is a 3.5% difference from the earlier projected quarterly increase of 2.2%. Samsung Display (SDC) was responsible for 2.1% of the 3.5% downward correction because the panel maker has issues with 0.4mm glass production, and in turn caused delays to the certification of new panel products.
