CMEL announced today that the price pressure from the small and medium size segment on the market is to high. The TFT LCD prices in the small and medium sector are falling to fast so the company chairman Jau Yang Ho.

Ho said AMOLED offers stunning colors and picture quality, but CMEL is coming under strong pressure from small- to medium-size TFT LCD whose prices are falling fast. The production costs for AMOLED are relatively higher and it takes more time to lower the production costs for AMOLED, compared to TFT LCD, Ho explained.

Therefore, CMEL is shifting its focus to medium- and large-size panels, Ho said. Apart from developing 7.6-inch AMOLED panel fro Kodak, CMEL will head for the 10-inch and larger segment. CMEL expects to volume produce AMOLED TV panels in 2010 or 2011.
