HD on the rise in notebook displays, says IHS

With demand for notebooks stagnating due to the economic downturn and the rise of tablets, notebook brands and panel makers are increasingly turning to higher display resolutions to increase consumer enthusiasm. Worldwide notebook panel demand fell 12% on year in 2015 to reach 176 million units, according to IHS. With notebook inventory piling up, brands and panel makers are hoping that upgrading the display resolution of their product lines will spur more demand growth. Full HD panels will comprise 20% of the notebook market in the first quarter of 2016, growing to 30% in the third quarter of 2016.
