4K2K LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) TV panels have drawn intense attention from panel brands around the world. In 2013, Taiwanese makers were the first to come out with 4K2K panels and since then the resolution competition has been heating up. In terms of shipments, Taiwan's makers however lost ground to Korean counterparts in the second quarter of 2014. This is because, aside from having more production capacity for 4K2K TV panels, Korean makers have been able to provide a broad range of different sizes. This report outlines the latest development of 4K2K LCD TV panels, including low-cost RGBW (Red, Green, Blue, White) ones, and examines key strategies of major 4K2K panel makers in Taiwan and Korea.
