DisplaySearch to Conduct First Exec Roundtable

DisplaySearch, an Austin, Texas-based market research and consulting firm, said it will hold its first Display Executive Roundtable at its 8th Annual DisplaySearch US FPD Conference, scheduled for March 21-23 in Coronado, Calif.

Four flat-panel display (FPD) suppliers--Samsung, LG.Philips, AUO, and CMO--will participate, according to published reports. DisplaySearch also said other participants will include Corning--a major supplier of glass substrates to the LCD industry--and Dell, the computer firm which says it's also the world's largest customer for large-area LCD TV substrates (beyond computer monitors). Dell markets and sells its own brand of plasma and LCD TV monitors.

Roundtable executives will be asked to address the future of the display industry, its procurement environment, the supply/demand outlook, and the latest trends for flat panels. DisplaySearch said its Early Bird Registration ends on New Year's Eve, Dec. 31.
