Revenue from Samsung plasma panel screens increased by nearly a quarter in the three months to July, suggesting heightened demand for the technology.
Overall, Samsung SDI profits increased by 17 per cent in the second quarter of this year, driven in part by growing interest in its plasma screen panels.
The company also expects global plasma panel demand to increase during the six months to the end of the year.
Speaking to Smart House, analyst at Samsung Securities Lee Jong-wook said: "Demand in the second half is rising faster than expected due to strong restocking demand from its customers on top of strong seasonality."
In June 2009, LCD panel shipments hit 46.7 million units, according to data from DisplaySearch’s monthly figures from the TFT LCD Shipments Database.
LCD TV panels had the highest growth, recording shipment increases of 57 per cent, year-on-year.
By comparison, year-on-year shipments for LCD TV panels during June 2008 increased by 8.3 per cent.
