Flat Panel Displays in Perspective

Abstract

Flat Panel Displays in Perspective examines the potential benefits of a domestic, high volume, FPD industry for the nation, and evaluates the role of government policies in developing it. The report concludes that such an industry would provide both economic and national security benefits. The extent of these benefits is difficult to determine, however, largely because trends in technology development and industry structure are resulting in more displays at declining prices. The barriers to establishing a high volume FPD industry are formidable, and government tools to address them are limited. However, government funding can play a role by helping to build domestic sources for some displays, such as those used in military systems. An additional finding is that the Department of Defense already uses some foreign displays, but it could take better advantage of FPD sources worldwide.
