Recent word from LCD panel producers and consumers in Asia is that 2010 will open with a shortage of netbook/laptop panels. Output is limited and supply is tight in that market right now. Suppliers are not getting full support from the major manufacturers -- AUO, CMO and LG -- for January demand. Smith is advising clients to evaluate their forecasts and consider pulling in stock earlier than planned.
