Prices for 32-inch LCD TV panels may rise in January 2010

According to this article, there is a possibility that the price of a 32-inch liquid crystal panel will rise from January 2010.

This is due to China's demand for LCD television sharply increasing in the Chinese market and lack of glass substrates as raw materials for liquid crystal panels, as China will enter the "spring season (lunar New Year)" shopping season, which is the Japanese holiday shopping battle in January. The number of LCD TVs sold in China from January 2010 to the middle of February is expected to reach 3 million units.

In addition, some LCD panel manufacturers have already requested LCD TV manufacturers and retailers to raise the price of 32-inch LCD panels by 3 to 5 dollars (about 275 yen to about 458 yen) in January .

Although it is unknown how much it affects the final product unit price, if manufacturers raise the cost of the liquid crystal panel, there seems to be some influence in Japanese manufacturers as well.
