Large Display Industry Snapshot December 2009

Last week, we published our December issue of Large Display Report (LDR) that includes some exciting and significant progress in display imaging and illumination technologies, new components and component improvements, including alternative displays, 3D and more.

The Report documents the display industry news and activities for monitor-sized and larger displays, components and finished products. LDR goes beyond the headlines digging deep into news events -- offering “the why” behind the news with new technologies and companies you don't normally hear about in mainstream media.
