This report looks into Chinese backlight unit (BLU) industry with the view of the developing history, current status, market scale, production capacity, production value, application distributing as well as the developing forecast. Besides, this report analyzed the BLU industry from the points of major application market (LCD monitor, laptop PC, LCD TV and so on), region and industrial chains, providing detailed information to those enterprisers aiming to enter this industry.

At present, China has become the largest backlight unit manufacturing base in the world. Along with more and more leading TFT LCD makers moving their LCM assembling plants to China since the year of 2001 motivated by the intent of reducing cost, many major global backlight unit makers are switching to china as well.

Therefore, this report is in hope of providing global backlight unit makers and industry with depth information like the market demands, status quo of BLU industry in major regions and market segments in China. The most important purpose is to provide some new developing solutions and methods for China's BLU industry, especially for the complete and healthy development of the whole industry.

The methodology for this report mainly involves statistics collection and analysis. The data is collected primarily and second-hand. The primary data is collected through face-to-face interview, expert forum, internet survey, phone, E-mail, questionnaire survey, factory investigation, participation to exhibitions. Etc. while the second-hand data is made through Ministry of China Information Industry, China Optoeletronics Industry Association LCD Branch, China Custom, DisplaySerach, IDC, MIC, IEK, Gartner Dataquest and other published materials.
