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.
