Sigmaintell's "supply and demand model" calculations reveal that the global LCD TV panel market's supply-demand ratio (in terms of area) hit 5.6% in the third quarter, suggesting a marginal easing in the supply-demand balance. Amidst the ongoing tug-of-war between supply and demand, TV panel prices dipped in July. However, with the anticipated gradual recovery of panel demand, prices are forecast to stabilize starting from August.
