Panel pricing and the supply/demand balance are constant topics of conversation at the Meko offices, as they have such an impact on our clients. I said in an editorial in June (Display Monitor Vol 17 No 24) that inventory levels in monitors were rising to such a point that we should expect that panel prices … Read more
DisplaySearch vice president Chris Connery has said that the market for stereo 3D monitors may be ‘come and gone already’. In a blog post to the group’s website, Connery said that while there is an ‘uncertainty’ over the timing for mainstream S3D TVs in the home, the market for S3D monitors represents a ’rounding error’ … Read more
In an editorial article in Jon Peddie’s TechWatch, my long time friend and collaborator, Dr. Jon himself, makes the point that he thinks that he really needs several PCs to support both home and office. I was doing this, with a nice T410 ThinkPad for work that I use in my office with a big … Read more
The European Commission has published the regulations for the marking of energy consumption of TVs in the EU. The final regulations could be applied as early as the beginning of 2012. Displays research specialist Meko has used its detailed forecasts for the European TV market to calculate that if every TV sold in a year … Read more
IFA and IBC are very different. While IFA has a clear focus on sets and products for consumers and channels, IBC is really for broadcasters, content providers and their support and supply chains. This includes STB makers and their support includes chip makers, so it is a great chance for us to catch up. It … Read more
I’m writing this in my hotel room after a day and a half of IFA press events, with the main exhibition due to open its doors tomorrow. However, I already feel I have a sense of the event. There’s a huge push behind 3D, as there was at CES earlier in the year, but there … Read more
So, we’re back from IFA. We had hoped to bring you the first half of our IFA report this week, but the need to get to Amsterdam for IBC caused a problem in that plan! We’ll have a big report on the whole show next week. However, we thought we’d highlight a few items … Read more

When lines are to be drawn, or images positioned, on a computer screen, a consistent method of specifying screen locations has to be used. As computer displays are made up of columns and rows of pixels, the location of any pixel on the screen can be described by using two numbers: the number of the … Read more
For nearly a hundred years after Friedrich Reinitzer observed cholesteryl benzoate changing into its liquid crystal state in 1888, nine years before the invention of the CRT, liquid crystals remained little more than a chemical curiosity. Then in 1971, Drs. Schadt and Helfrich of Roche developed the twisted nematic liquid crystal and opened the door … Read more
The development of the twisted nematic liquid crystal (TNLC), with its 90° twist, made the production of commercially viable LCDs possible. Though relatively cheap to make and requiring very little power (hence their use in watches, calculators, etc.), there are problems associated with using TNLCDs in larger, more complex displays. In calculator type displays, each … Read more
