What They Say
Since NPD bought Displaysearch, then IHS bought the business from NPD and Omdia now runs it, the amount of press data coming from the organisation has declined, so we end up covering the firm less. When they re-vamped their website a while ago, the press release section actually disappeared, but ‘it’s due to come back later’ we heard.
So a hat tip to Dave Haynes of Sixteen-Nine.net for spotting some useful data on the area of LED displays sold in recent years. His article includes a link to the report which is for sale.

The units in the chart are square metres.
