The article reports that the flat-panel and microdisplay television market has become the driver for design and manufacturing changes during the current decade. Makers of liquid-crystal displays (LCD) have invested billions in next-generation fabs and processes, with suppliers of plasma and microdisplay rear-projection screens scrambling to keep up with their LCD counterparts. The transition to newer TV display technologies is likely to be gradual, particularly since cathode ray tube-based sets still hold a price advantage in a cost-sensitive consumer market.
