Omdia : LCD TV makers’ purchase orders trend up from 2Q23 with annual buy plan growth by 8% focused on 50-inch+

LONDON, Feb. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The long-awaited demand recovery for LCD TV panel orders from the global top Korean and Chinese TV makers is around the corner according to Omdia’s TV Display & OEM Intelligence Service.  Omdia estimates a strong rebound of 19% year on year (YoY) is expected in 2Q23 along with the anticipation of reaching 161.4 million units or an increase of 8% YoY focused in 50-inch and larger screen sizes. If this 2023 buy-plan materializes, the market is about to return to the peak level of 2020 purchase volumes or 3% higher than the historical four-year average. 

South Korean and Chinese top-5 TV makers' LCD TV panel purchases 2021-23
South Korean and Chinese top-5 TV makers’ LCD TV panel purchases 2021-23

With a strong market on the horizon, Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics have begun proactively planning purchasing volumes for 2023 where there will be a possible surge in panel demand by 22% YoY in 2023 from a 14-year low base as seen in 2022.     

Top-tier Chinese TV makers reached a new record high of panel purchases in 3Q22-4Q22 as they fulfill the bigger TV production plans established thanks to the reopening of the Chinese market allowing the makers to capture and increase their global market share especially in North America. “Chinese TV makers tend to strategically refill more low-priced panels in the oversupplied market to secure business opportunities for brands and OEMs,” according to Deborah Yang, Chief Analyst in Omdia’s Display research practice. “Moving into 2023, it is expected Chinese TV makers will increase their purchasing volumes though there will be relatively weak demand in 1Q23 which will be followed by demand uptick from 2Q23 before the seasonal demand spike from the second half of the year.” 

“It is forecast that from 2023, global TV brands and OEMs will eventually start to increase their panel orders  and the new replacement cycle, especially that of larger-sized TVs. Despite many economists having negative expectations of every outcome in 2023, top tier TV makers in particular leading Chinese players are optimistic for their TV business, especially in the 50-inch and above size category which will in turn help the LCD TV panel market,” Yang concluded.

“Videoconferencing is here to stay, and with more organizations finding unique ways to use this technology, we’ve introduced an AI-powered solution that helps make the process more seamless, ensuring that meeting participants are connected wherever they are,” said Clifford Chen, Senior Director of the Presentation Group at ViewSonic. “ViewSonic is committed to developing audiovisual solutions that bring people closer together. Our CDE30 series, coupled with the Live Mosaic View, offers corporations an immersive experience for hybrid meetings.”

Seamlessly Connecting Hybrid Meeting Participants

ViewSonic’s CDE30 series of displays feature ultra-sharp 4K resolutions, ensuring that the details in presentations, the meeting participants’ faces, and the pieces of multimedia presented are seen in the utmost clarity. The series is flawlessly complemented by ViewSonic’s new Live Mosaic View feature for their All-in-One Conference Camera.

Powered by AI technology, Live Mosaic View can provide close-ups of participants and readjust the view based on each attendee’s activity. It can distinguish up to eight meeting participants in a single room, dividing the screen equally between them. No matter where participants are sitting, the technology can accurately keep participants in focus, ensuring that those at the back of the room are seen just as clearly as those at the front, bringing an immersive, inclusive, and equitable experience for hybrid meetings.

The newly launched visual solutions equip corporations with cutting-edge hybrid work capabilities. The visual solutions can be used with most major UC (Unified Communications) platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Cisco Webex, and Zoom.

A User-centric Design for Corporate and Campus Communication

The CDE30 series, ranging from 43″ to 98″, features a range of intuitive features; with easily accessed ports and the ability to be set up in either portrait or landscape mode. All models in the range offer rapid connectivity through USB-C one-cable solution, offering efficiency and allowing users to access peripherals through their laptops. The display also supports cable-free screen casting through the myViewBoard Display, ViewBoard Cast, as well as Airplay and Chromecast, so meetings and presentations can be started with minimal setup.

Meanwhile, remote management via the intuitive myViewBoard Manager makes changing content, broadcasting information, and software updates a breeze. Further, with the myViewBoard Manager Advanced license, the displays can be used for round-the-clock multimedia playback with minimal power consumption and can also be used to deliver multimedia across organizations.

Panasonic Corporation Emphasizes Holistic Well-Being in Its Products; Announces New Brand Action Tagline “Create Today. Enrich Tomorrow.”

MANILA, Philippines, Jan. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Panasonic Corporation today unveiled in The Philippines its new brand action tagline ‘Create Today. Enrich Tomorrow’, as part of their continuous efforts to better champion solutions that emphasize the well-being of people, society and the planet.

The new brand action tagline aims to enhance people's quality of life and take care of the environment

Panasonic has a long-standing mission established by its founder Konosuke Matsushita which says that the corporation should contribute to society and tackle global challenges around climate change, which are both key to its strategic direction moving forward.

In April 2022, Panasonic Corporation was set up as a new company within the Panasonic holding company structure, incorporating the business operation that produces appliances for day-to-day life. Mr Masahiro Shinada, President and CEO of Panasonic Corporation shared that the corporation will continue fulfilling Panasonic’s mission through ‘Create Today. Enrich Tomorrow.’

Shinada said, “This represents our thinking as a company and our goal as a manufacturer to enhance the quality of lives of people by creating useful and high-quality products today that improve their holistic well-being. At the same time, we are also taking care of the environment and developing innovative technologies to enrich all our lives tomorrow. These contribute to our commitment to ensure that families and individuals can continue to rely on us and trust us to fulfill their home and lifestyle needs.”

Each word of the slogan has its meaning:

CREATE useful, high-quality products that improve people’s lives and make the world a better place. This is the essence of who Panasonic is.

TODAY our customers need us to develop technologies and engineer solutions to improve their daily lives and their personal wellbeing. We deliver with relentless innovation and our commitment to sustainability.

ENRICH the world together. At the heart of everything we do is the wellbeing of our customers and our planet. Panasonic’s goal is to enrich the lives of those around us, every day.

TOMORROW we will continue to enhance our products, services, and solutions to help our customers lead their best lives and to help our future environment.

Expanding on the focus areas of ‘Create Today. Enrich Tomorrow.’, Mr Takahiro Oyama, Deputy Managing Director of Panasonic Appliances Marketing Asia Pacific said, “Moving forward, these three well-being categories — Inner, Outer and Spatial Wellbeing — are the foundation of the design and purpose of all our products and services. ‘Inner Wellbeing’ starts from the kitchen through healthy eating, while ‘Outer Wellbeing’ focuses on physical hygiene. ‘Spatial Wellbeing’ aims to create a comfortable living atmosphere at home that is safe and clean.”

Holistic Wellbeing sits front and center in the design and purpose of Panasonic's products and services

From a product design and feature standpoint under ‘Inner Wellbeing’, Panasonic will use proprietary technologies for heating, pressurizing, and stirring foods, as well as radio wave sensing technology for defrosting to help preserve these flavors and offer consumers the ability to cook tasty food using less salt and fat.  

‘Outer Wellbeing’ products will feature more biometric sensing and analysis technologies to create targeted skin care regimens based on individual needs such as hair type or skin type. ‘Spatial Wellbeing’ products feature nanoe technology to improve the quality of air we breathe, as well as hometainment solutions that meet the demand for high-definition entertainment in a living space in this digital era.

Panasonic also shared that the new brand action tagline will be underpinned by their commitment to protect the global environment through two pillars – carbon neutrality and promoting a circular economy. The corporation aims to reduce more than 300 million tons in carbon dioxide emissions by 2050 from its own value chain and avoided emissions through utilizing clean and efficient energy solutions, as well as improve product durability and design products that can be easily disassembled for reuse and recycling.

Orbbec Debuts Femto Mega Powered by NVIDIA Jetson Edge AI and Robotics Platform

Programmable camera ushers in software-defined perception for robotics with industry-leading package, performance and price

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Orbbec, a leading global 3D camera manufacturer, today announced the launch of its latest product, the Femto Mega, at CES 2023. It integrates the NVIDIA® Jetson™ platform for software-defined depth vision, and is aimed at removing barriers for developers of robotics applications with the combination of sensing and accelerated computing for AI and digital twin creation.

The programmable multi-mode camera with AI processing powered by NVIDIA Jetson can be operated as an IoT device in robotics, logistics, manufacturing, retail, healthcare and fitness solutions. The built-in NVIDIA Jetson Nano™ system-on-module is used to run advanced depth vision algorithms, can be directly connected to servers or the cloud and eliminates the need for an external computer.

Developers using the NVIDIA Isaac robotics platform can now add the Femto Mega to enable robots to operate autonomously in unstructured environments and navigate and interact with their environment. The high-performance depth processing is required for object recognition, obstacle detection, pick and place in palletization/depalletization applications.

“Femto Mega is aimed at extending the capabilities of 2D and 3D sensing from the physical world to digital twins in the virtual world,” said Amit Banerjee, Head of Platform and Partnerships at Orbbec. “We’re excited about our collaboration with NVIDIA to bring the best combination of 3D sensing and AI-accelerated computing for developers deploying intelligent robots and automation applications.”

The Orbbec team will be demonstrating Femto Mega and other 3D camera products and integrated partner solutions at CES 2023. Look for the Orbbec exhibit at North Hall, Booth 10838 in the Las Vegas Convention Center. To learn more about Orbbec, check out www.orbbec3d.com
