Light-emitting diodes (LED) will become the dominant large-area TFT LCD backlight unit light source by 2011 with a 56% share, according to the most recent DisplaySearch Quarterly LED & CCFL Backlight Report.
Traditional backlights using fluorescent tubes (CCFL and EEFL) for notebook PC, monitor, and TV displays will drop to 44% of the market in 2011. LED penetration is forecast to skyrocket to 78% in 2015.
With the transition to LEDs already taking place in the notebook PC segment, DisplaySearch forecasts LED penetration in large-area TFT LCD will reach 27.8% in 2009. As a result of the LCD TV supply chain's efforts to promote LED backlit TVs, and the introduction of new LCD monitors with LED backlights, LED penetration in large-area TFT LCD is forecast to reach 44% in 2010. Traditional CCFL and EEFL backlights are forecast to fall from 72% in 2009 to 55% in 2011.
