Samsung Electronics, a top brand of professional large format LCD display products, recently achieved a global industry record sales of 100,000 digital information display (DID) panels in April.

The DID lineup consisted of ultra-slim bezel and specialized LCD display products for applications in video walls, digital signage and outdoor advertisement.

“Beyond TVs, digital information displays are a major next-generation growth engine for the LCD industry with applications in digital signage and e-boards,” said Madhav Narayan, general manager of digital business media at Samsung Gulf Electronics.

“By introducing a diverse lineup featuring specialized products, Samsung will continue to strengthen its industry leadership and maintain our market share of 50 per cent of the overall DID global market,” he added.
 
Since it first introduced DID solutions in 2006, Samsung has pioneered the growth of the market and became the first company to surpass one million units in accumulated sales in February 2010.
 
According to market research firm DisplaySearch, the overall market for DID is forecast to expand to more than fourfold over the next six years, from 2.23 million units in 2010 to 9.09 million units in 2016.

Samsung’s market share in LCD DID panels, which make up a majority of the DID market, reached 41.9 per cent in 2009 with 463,000 units sold, and is forecast to expand to 48.8 per cent this year, according to DisplaySearch.
 
Samsung has introduced a variety of specialised DID panels to meet customer needs including panels ranging from 32 inches to 82 inches, ultra-slim bezel displays and super-wide screen proportions.
 
Samsung’s ultra-slim bezel panels have the world’s thinnest frame at 7.3 mm, a quarter that of conventional products, a statement said. – TradeArabia News Service
