According to sources in the LCD TV panel industry in Taiwan, Sony will be upping shipments of its very popular "Bravia" LCD TV line in 2008.
Bravia sales are expected to have been over 10 million for 2007 and growth does not seem to be slowing. In response, the company will boost its shipment target to about 16 million units for 2008.
Although Sony is set to ship more LCD TVs next year, sources have suggested that the gap between Sony and Samsung will in fact get larger. Samsung is expected to have shipped 14 million units in 2007 and executives from the company have said the company plans to ship over 20 million LCD TVs in 2008 thanks to high demand in emerging regions.
