Flat panel TV technologies at a crucial crossroads

Television will dominate the upcoming 2007 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this month, as LCD-TV OEMs showcase their latest and greatest products, while providers of other display technologies try to prove that they can remain relevant amid the liquid-crystal deluge.
Television display technologies such as microdisplay Rear Projection (RPTV) are entering a crucial time when they must either do or die. One slip in deadlines could send the RPTV segment spinning into an unrecoverable decline in market share.
For Plasma Display Panel (PDP) televisions, the main challenge is continuing to weather the onslaught of LCD-TVs in the 40-inch and larger market. The longer PDP-TV can hold out, the longer OEMs will continue to make money selling such sets, assuring their continued support for the technology.
