Supply Chain Contraction Leads to Declining Global LCD TV Panel Demand, IHS Says
10/21/2015
Panel inventory adjustments will continue in 2016, with larger sizes prevailing over smaller sizes
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (October 21, 2015) - Since the third quarter (Q3) of 2014, the LCD TV panel industry has been going through a difficult time, with TV set makers adjusting panel inventories as well as their 2015 business plans downward. LCD TV panel demand is now expected to drop 3 percent in 2016 over the year to reach just 257 million units. The decline is a result of TV brands' continual panel inventory control, as well as global economic uncertainty, according to a new report from IHS Inc. (NYSE: IHS), the leading global source of critical information and insight.
"TV panel inventory adjustments will continue into the first half of 2016, because more manufacturing capacity will be coming online, especially in China," said David Hsieh, senior display director for IHS. "Global consumption is stagnant and the replacement cycle is slow, which will not support strong growth in the coming year."
According to the latest Display Long-Term Demand Forecast Tracker, 134 million LCD TV panels were shipped in the first half of this year; however, although prices declined in the second half of the year, panel makers have maintained capacity utilization to produce even more panels. At the same time, they have been quickly reducing panel prices to encourage TV brands to keep buying for their short-term needs and for the upcoming global holiday shopping seasons. "All of these factors will have a negative impact on LCD TV panel demand in 2016," Hsieh said.
"Panel shipments have surpassed LCD TV set shipments by double digits for three consecutive years," Hsieh said. "TV brands are revising their business plans downward this year and continuing slow economic growth is creating more uncertainty in 2016, so TV makers are expected to be conservative in their 2016 planning."
While LCD TV panel unit shipments are forecast to decline in 2016, area demand will reach 125.9 million square meters, a 3 percent increase from 2015. When OLED TV panel area is included, year-over-year area growth reaches 4 percent.
Panel supply is growing in the 40-inch to 43-inch panel segment, and panel price decreases are helping larger sizes grab market shares from the traditional mainstream 32-inch segment. Unit shipments of 32-inch panels will fall from 90 million in 2014 and 2015 to less than 80 million in 2016. The 32-inch panel size is now being threatened by 40-inch to 43-inch sizes; meanwhile, panel shipments of 50-inch to 55-inch sizes will grow from 37 million in 2015 to 41 million in 2016.
"The collapse of panel prices in the second half of 2015 is encouraging panel makers to shift their product mix, because smaller panel sizes will experience deep losses," Hsieh said. "Panel makers will be spurred to produce larger panels, which are more profitable, rather than stick with smaller panels with deeply eroded profitability."
The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner."

"Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
