Opcuity Active Layer Films - MARKET
One Opcuity Active Layer film and a Thin Film Transistor (TFT) backplane can create a display suitable for any device using LCD panels. The surface area of the display equals the amount of Opcuity Active Layer film needed. Thus, estimates of market size used by LCD glass manufacturers indicate the potential market size for Opcuity Active Layer Films. However, LCD panels require TWO sheets of glass (backplane and cover sheet). Thus the potential market for Opcuity Active Layer Films is half that of current glass forecasts.
Corning, the largest supplier of LCD glass in the world today, forecasted that glass demand would increase from approximately 1.25 billion square feet to more than two billion between 2006 and 2008 (Display Search™ March 2007 U.S. FPD conference) Thus, UniPixel™ believes the market opportunity for Opcuity Active Layer films will grow to approximately one billion square feet in 2008.
