Some TFT-LCD panel components, mainly backlight units (BLUs), polarizers and reflector sheets, are in short supply, and further shortage is expected to last to the LCD panel peak season of the third quarter, according to market sources.
The short supply of BLUs is mainly due to the labor shortage in China while the shortage of reflector sheets is the result of a shortage of the raw material, PET films, the sources noted, adding that the polarizer shortage is caused by slow capacity expansion by suppliers.
PET films are needed in the production of LCD panels and solar cells. The recent recovery in the solar cell market has tightened supply of PET films to LCD panel makers, the sources added.
