The second edition of the digital signage trade fair was held at Paris Expo on the 14th, 15th and 16th of November, 2006. Key French players such as Carlipa Systems, MarketForward, or Mirane were there. It was an occasion to emphasize the predominant role of flat screens in this new media.
DisplaySearch market research indicates that Samsung and LG dominated the plasma and LCD screens market in the third quarter 2006.
Some figures:
- In the LCD screens market: Samsung announced a third quarter 2006 sale income of $3,83 billion, to be compared to $2,90 billion for LG Philips.
- In the plasma screens market: Samsung remains the leader with 910,000 screens sold during the third quarter 2006 (33% of the sales), closely followed by Matsushita who claims to have sold 850,000 screens. Lastly, Samsung ranks third with 650,000 plasma screens sold.
For yearly sales combined, LG slightly dominates the market, followed by Matsushita and Samsung.
My name is Paul Laverrière. I have been a huge fan of home cinema for over 10 years. Today, I would like to share my passion for flat screens with you through this blog! I hope you like it! :-)
