According to iSuppli, Samsung Electronics continued to maintain its leading position in the global LCD TV market in the second quarter, in part due to the surge in shipments of its LED-backlit TVs.
In the second quarter, Samsung's global LCD TV shipments reached 5.7 million units, an increase of 605,956 units from the 5.1 million units in the first quarter, making it the largest company in terms of shipments of all LCD TV brand manufacturers in the quarter. The 12% increase made Samsung Electronics' market share reach 18.5%.
"Samsung is very active in launching and selling LED-backlit LCD TVs in the second quarter," said Riddhi Patel, chief TV analyst at iSuppli. "This puts Samsung at the forefront of this fast-paced technology trend, helping it in the second Sales increased in the quarter."
Unlike traditional cathode ray tube (CRT) televisions that produce their own light sources, LCD TVs require an additional illumination source or backlight to present a visible image. Liquid crystal displays have historically used fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) as backlights. However, LEDs have been a replacement for CCFLs in recent years due to lower prices.
