New Mini-Reports from Insight Media

Approaches and Prospects for Thin, Rear Projection TVs:
A study of the technology and markets for thin rear-projection consumer televisions

The report finds that RPTV makers have many technology options in adopting thin (8-11 inches deep) or slim (<8" deep) RPTVs. And, there is a price premium to adopt a thin or slim design, which increases with larger screen sizes. However, many view the adoption of slim and thin RPTVs as a critical element in maintaining the competitiveness of the category. This new "mini-report" from Insight Media provides focused analysis on the technology, manufacturing, costs, marketing and competitiveness issues associated with developing and selling thin and slim RPTVs.

Professional Video Monitors

The video and cinema production and post-production business has used high-end CRT monitors to view the work in progress as part of the editing process. There is an increasing use of LCD and other technology monitors to replace CRTs in this application. This is due, in part, to the fact that high-end CRTs are no longer in production and substitutes must be found before the existing stock is exhausted. LCD monitors have different electronic and visual properties than CRTs, so it is necessary to understand the technology before making the transition.

The objective of this report is to supply monitor manufacturers, equipment distributors, video and film production, post-production houses and independent video content creators the information needed in the switch from CRT to LCD monitors. In addition to a discussion of the existing CRT and LCD technology, the report will cover other technologies that may play a role in the future. Representative products from all major manufacturers, intended for all niches within the professional monitor market, will be discussed.

This new 58-page report is being offered for $999 as a pdf file under a company site license.

Field Sequential Color LCD-TVs and Monitors

All direct-view LCDs today use an array of red, green and blue color filters over a matrix of subpixels. Three subpixels are needed to create one color pixel. But if field sequential color LCDs can be developed, the color filters would no longer be needed, nor would the matrix of subpixels. Such displays will allow developers to offer more pixels and higher brightness for the same-sized display, or greatly reduce power consumption if they maintain current brightness. And, these options will come at a lower cost.

All this sounds fantastic, so why isn't everyone rushing to offer such displays? To find out, Insight Media decided to investigate the issue with the results compiled in a newly released report called, "Field Sequential Color LCD-TVs and Monitors." The report finds considerable interest in the technology and activity that is moving toward commercial solutions. Prototypes have been demonstrated, but challenges remain for full commercialization. The report details the approaches that are being investigated, the status, challenges and prospects for development of materials, electronics, and full TV and monitor LCDs to serve various application segments. Finally, a forecast and roadmap for commercialization has been developed.

The report is a valuable tool in helping technologists, product planners, engineers, sales and marketing personnel and senior executives understand the issues, timing and prospects for field sequential color LCDs.

The 49-page report includes 19 figures and 7 tables and is available for $999 as a pdf file under a company site license.
