In September 1st, the first financial daily "12 color TV giant pushed CRT all year after the delisting", one article reported: "yesterday, SKYWORTH and other 12 domestic and foreign mainstream color TV giants announced jointly in Beijing that with the rapid expansion of the upstream LCD panel and plasma panel production capacity, the cost of flat-panel TVs has gone down, and the cost advantages of the same size CRT color TV are getting smaller and smaller. It is expected that the CRT color TV will be completely delisted in all major chain stores in China by the end of October 1st."

The news yesterday was a great stir in the industry.

In response, SKYWORTH group spokesman Shen Jian told reporters: "SKYWORTH has never participated in the so-called joint press conference, nor has it published any similar views."

Shen Jian said: "as we all know, CRT TV has a long history and mature technology, widely welcomed by consumers.

Flat panel TV and CRT TV belong to different display technologies. They are suitable for different groups and environments.

Even in developed countries, CRT color TV is still the main consumer product, let alone a country with a very uneven economic development.

SKYWORTH believes that in the foreseeable future, CRT color TV can not be delisted because of its excellent performance price ratio and reliable quality advantages.

Therefore, CRT color TV is still a key product of SKYWORTH. We have no plans to cancel or restrict the production of CRT color TV, and there is no idea of promoting CRT color TV delisting. "

According to the statistics of the Ministry of information industry, China's TV market sales fell 12% in the first half of 2006 due to the contraction of CRT TV market.

Although the market is shrinking, Sano's research data show that in the first half of 2006, flat-panel TV sales were about 1 million 700 thousand, accounting for only 8.6% of China's domestic sales of color TV.

According to the relevant information of DisplayRearch, it is estimated that in 2006, the shipment volume of LCD TV in China market is 4 million 500 thousand, and PDP shipments are 900 thousand units, while CRT shipments are 32 million units, still occupying the vast majority of total shipments.

CRT atrophy is an indisputable fact, but when CRT shrank to a certain share, the whole market will tend to be in a state of equilibrium. After entering this kind of sawing mode, flat-panel TV can no longer squeeze CRT's market share rapidly.
