LEDinside Estimates Market Penetration Rate of LED TVs to be 2 Percent in 2009 and 11 Percent in 2012

With the brand TV manufacturers all introducing new LED TVs, LED TV has gradually become one of the trump applications in LED industry. LEDinside projects that if all LCD TVs feature LED backlight, the consumption of LED in TV section would be 8 times larger than that in the 1 billion-a-year cell phone market.

On the other hand, prices of LED TVs are 60 percent higher than that of the established LCD TVs, and the supply chain of the backlight module is still immature.

LEDinside has conservatively estimated a mere 2 percent penetration rate for LED TVs this year. While in the future, as the costs of LED and CCFL backlight module get closer and the LED TV’s prices are cut down, this rate can be expected to reach 11%, and the consumption of LEDs in global LCD TVs market will be equivalent to 63 percent of that in cell phone market.
