LEDs are making inroads into LCD displays and are replacing CCFLs (cold cathode fluorescent lamps) and are expected to reach 8% of the market by 2011 reports digitimes.com They go on to say that increases in demand and falling prices are leading to makers to try more innovative technologies. 8% seems to be far less than the "predominate" place that Insight Media suggested in an earlier report on LEDs in LCDs by Paul Lilly. It is possible that digitimes.com's source, Displaybank, is underestimating demand, or Insight Media is overestimating demand. It is clear however, that LCD manufacturers will need to make the switch sometime, and it's customer demand that will drive it. Just how much do you want a lighter, thinner. brighter LCD?
