What existing product technologies can benefit FPD?
In terms of manufacturing technology, today’s FPD market actually has an advantage over the early semiconductor industry. While semiconductor development had no technology base to start from, FPD was derived from semiconductor equipment and methods. Therefore, it started out with strong, highly developed manufacturing techniques. This has also enabled more rapid advancements compared to other industries. As the FPD market matures, existing technologies from other markets will continue to offer benefits.
