Revision as of 14:50, 12 May 2011

This article has a lot of incorrect information. While the listing includes know LCD manufacturers, the list also includes several manufacturers that do not produce LCDs (Toshiba for example). It also list "Brands" that are not actual manufacturers. (RCA, Proscan for example)

Listed companies or brands listed below are definitely NOT LCD panel manufacturers:

   * AOC
   * Bang & Olufsen
   * Barco
   * JVC
   * Lenovo
   * Medion
   * Polaroid Corporation
   * ProScan
   * RCA
   * Soyo - (Bankrupt)
   * Toshiba
   * Viewsonic
   * Vizio

The above list is not all inclusive. Hopefully someone will research and clean up this list.

I must agree that this page is very misleading. It is incorrect so much that pro publico bono I decided to remove its content (I am not sure if I am the best person to do this but the article is simply misleading)

In my opinion there are different sort of manufacturers. There must be distinction between i.e. Sharp, Hitachi (both make Eizo displays) LG Displays, S-LCD (have substantial portion of the market) and some other manufacturers making i.e. LCD for calculators or watches. The aim of Wiki is to give information to the readers. Making one long list does not do it at all.

Btw. I am not sure if Toshiba doesn't make displays. Links which I cited say that their laptops use LCDs labelled Toshiba, however they have the naming convention very similar to Samsung's displays (now S-LCD - Samsung-Sony 50/50 cooperation) 83.10.234.115 (talk) 12:43, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Here is information I am certain of:

Sony broke their contract with Samsung in 2009 and now buy LCD panels from Sharp.
Philips parted with LG in 2008 and now buy panels from Sharp. ^[1]
In 2005, Sharp purchased Fujitsu Displays. ^[2]
In the end of 2009, Toshiba and Sharp made a contract where Sharp supplies the LCDs, and Toshiba supply processors. ^[3]
Panasonic, being the fourth largest producer of LCD, acquired 50.2% of Sanyo, making it a subsidiary, on December 21, 2009.
Sharp own a 29% stake in German TV manufacturer Loewe and supply LCD panels etc.

How about dividing the page into several sections?

May I suggest that we divide the page into several sections for different kinds of manufacturers?

1. Brands which market LCD products

2. Manufacturers which make large LCD displays (that is, LCD panels which replace CRTs).

3. Manufacturers whic make small LCD displays (like those which go into calculators and similar instruments.

Am not doing this myself in order to see if a better classification is possible. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paivakil (talk • contribs) 07:46, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Misleding page

This page is misleding. Only few of this companies actually manufacture LCD displays. Most of them just by LCD displays and components from others.
