Preliminary February shipments of large-sized panels(a) for applications such as desktop monitor, notebook PC, LCD TV, and other applications decreased by 5.0% M-o-M to 1.81 million, due to Chinese New Year and less working days in February. Shipments of small- and medium-sized panels recovered from seasonal weakness, up 9.6% from January 2005 to reach 2.75 million.

In addition, downward adjustments in average selling prices for notebook PC and LCD TV panels resulted in lower blended ASP for large-sized panels.
