LCD Panel Boom

FEMALE ANCHOR
The global market for liquid crystal display products is booming1. The demand for televisions and other products using the panels2 exceed the supply.

MALE ANCHOR
Reuters' Dan Sloan now reports that Japanese companies that supply LCD materials and those that use them in the finished products are riding the wave to strong results.

CORRESPONDENT
Holiday retailers are already reporting shortages of liquid crystal display TVs, just one product in the multi-billion dollar LCD showroom3 that made 2003 a bumper4 year. Sharp, Japan's largest maker of LCD panels in TVs, saw more than $2 billion in LCD sales in the first half year alone, about one-third its operating profit. Analysts say the main risk for Sharp is a price decline if tight supply conditions ease. JSR, which supplies Sharp and other firms, is a top player in the LCD materials market. The company's president says it's been a good year so far.

YOSHINORI YOSHIDA, PRESIDENT, JSR CORP
Overall this year, business is likely to grow on average about 40 percent year on year.

CORRESPONDENT
Brokerage5 Morgan Stanley sees JSR's operating profit at $280 million dollars this year, rising to $370 million next year, based on expansion6 of the LCD market. Yoshida says the flat panel display business is key to JSR's business strategy.

YOSHINORI YOSHIDA
Looking at the global television market at about 120 to 140 million units, only this year have we reached 3 million LCD panel TVs. So it's only 2 percent of the overall market.

CORRESPONDENT
Analysts see the global LCD materials market already topping7 $7 billion. For JSR and other companies riding the LCD boom, the new year may have even more cheer in store. Dan Sloan, Reuters, Tokyo.

据路透社的丹•斯隆报道，提供液晶显示屏原材料以及在最终产品上使用液晶显示屏的日本公司，正乘风破浪收获丰硕成果。

假日里的零售商们已经开始抱怨液晶电视缺货的情况，在价值几百亿美元的液晶显示器市场上仅电视一种产品就令2003年成为丰收年。日本最大的电视液晶显示屏制造商夏普，仅在今年上半年就达到了近二十亿美元的销售额，占整个公司营业利润的三分之一。分析家认为，夏普公司面临的风险主要是如果产品紧张的供应状况有所缓解，价格可能会下滑。而为夏普和其他公司提供生产材料的JSR公司是原材料市场的老大。该公司总裁认为，到目前为止，今年的情况非常好。

总的来说，业务可能会以每年百分之四十的速度增长。

根据液晶显示器市场的发展情况，摩根•史丹利贸易行预测， JSR公司今年的营业利润应该是2.8亿美元，明年会达到3.7亿美元。吉田说，纯平显示器将是决定JSR公司经营策略的关键。

全球电视市场的需求是1.2-1.4亿台，而今年我们才达到三百万台液晶电视的生产能力，只占整个市场的百分之二。

分析家认为，全球液晶显示原材料市场已经达到了近七十亿美元，对JSR或其他驾驭液晶显示器浪潮的企业来说，未来的一年可能蕴藏着更多的惊喜。路透社，丹•斯隆从东京报道。
