NanoMarkets Announces Release of Report Transparent Conductors for Displays, Market Opportunities 20

Feb. 1, 2011 - PRLog -- Glen Allen, VA:  Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets today announced the release of its newest report addressing the market for transparent conductors titled, “Transparent Conductors for Displays, Market Opportunities 2011.”  The report states that the display industry will consume $7.3 billion in transparent conductor material by 2017 and that while ITO usage will continue to rise in spite of increasing costs, NanoMarkets does anticipate that ITO alternatives – especially transparent conducting nanomaterials – will see significant opportunities from the emergence of OLED and electrophoretic displays who’s makers are less conservative about their materials choices.  As a result, NanoMarkets expects revenues from the ITO alternatives in the display industry to approach nearly $500 million by 2017.
 
The report follows other recently released NanoMarkets reports that have addressed the market for indium tin oxide (ITO) and alternatives and the market opportunities for transparent conductors in OLEDs and Photovoltaics.  The firm will also be releasing a new study in February that examines the business case for ITO and transparent conductor alternatives.  Details of NanoMarkets’ unique and industry leading coverage of the transparent conductor market are available at http://www.nanomarkets.net.
 
About the Report:
 
In this report, NanoMarkets forecasts how the opportunities in transparent conductors in the display industry are changing and who will be the winners and losers as the result of these trends.  The report also analyzes the money-making potential that the display industry provides for both ITO suppliers as well as for suppliers and developers of alternative transparent conductors. Some alternatives have been commercially successful in other industries; is it now the display industry’s turn?  The report also includes forecasts of transparent conductor use by display type including, LCD and plasma displays, OLED displays, touch screens, electrophoretic displays and flexible displays and forecasts of transparent conductor use by material type including ITO, Other TCOs, conductive polymers, nanosilver and carbon nanotube-based materials.    We believe that this report will be essential reading for suppliers and developers of transparent conductors of all types, as well as for executives in display-manufacturing firms.
