Q: What do you believe were the biggest changes in the industry in the last five years? How did they change things and what impact did those changes have? A:
As the
digital information age has progressed and been driven by the development
of silicon technology, huge amounts of information have been made available
through electronic media such as the Internet. However, in order to
take advantage of this vast amount of information and transform it into
knowledge, a user must be able to view the information. Hence, the display
and display technology are in the critical path, and will allow that
transformation of information to knowledge. Consequently, more research
efforts and dollars are being funneled into display technology than
ever before. Q: What is the state of the market now? What are the propelling forces and what are the barriers to growth? A:
For our core LCD
business, our served market is about $5 billion. Displays for cell phones
constitute approximately 50% of this market and that segment is currently
projected to grow at a rate of 35% per year for the next several years.
As the bandwidth becomes available to allow features such as streaming
video and anywhere/anytime wireless web access, the need for high quality
displays will become even more critical. Our plans call for our company
to grow at least as fast as this market.
