INDUSTRY PROFILE

The information display market is capital intensive, highly concentrated, and growing at an impressive rate. The average AMLCD plant costs over $1 Billion. Producers get a facility capable of producing about 100,000 12.1" units per month, assuming yields of around 75%. Worldwide capacity at these plants, including passive LCD plants, is currently in excess of 20 million 12.1" units per year. Liquid Crystal Displays out sell all other flat panel display systems by a margin of 10 to 1. According to the Society of Electron Devices International, AMLCD production capacity is expected to reach 40 million 12.1" units by the year 2000.

The biggest challenges facing the AMLCD producers can be broken down into four areas:

High Cost of Manufacturing

Limited Viewing Angle

Response Time

Maximum Viewing Size

As indicated previously, TouchTop Technologies' Light Emitting Dry Crystal Display System overcomes these barriers by enormous proportions. The top five AMLCD producers worldwide spent more than $1.3 Billion in 1995 for research and development of the next generation display device. Despite this sizable investment, no clear successor to AMLCD has been developed. Driving the producers' rationale for continued investment is an ever increasing, and currently unsatisfied, demand for larger, thinner, clearer, and faster display devices by consumers.
