Market adjacency and competing technologies: evidence from the flat panel display industry

Abstract What determines the emergence of a winner between competing technologies? We examine competition between flat panel display technologies, with the purpose of understanding of how liquid crystal display was able to surpass plasma display panel technology despite the initial lack of a convincing technological or cost advantage, and in the absence of network externalities. We propose an explanation whereby the relative availability of pathways of suitable adjacent applications markets provides differential opportunities for technologies to increase their scope and scale of application incrementally, effecting the speed of development as well as the cost effectiveness of the end products. Our findings suggest that these sets of adjacent application markets available can strongly influence which technologies emerge as winners and which are eventually abandoned.

Plasma Display

The popularity of flat TVs began to reach its stride at the beginning of the 21st century, and the market size has expanded rapidly. The plasma display panel (PDP) technology was predominant initially, but the liquid crystal display (LCD) technology has presently overtaken PDP technology. Most of the actual conditions for the competition between LCD and PDP have not been clarified. In this study, our aim was to understand the factors because of which LCD overtook PDP in terms of the product architecture and to clarify the architecture’s influence on the competition between LCD and PDP. The results showed that PDP and LCD have integral-type and modular-type architectures, respectively, and that this difference has had a big influence on the market competition between the two technologies.

Due to shorter and shorter life span and the rapid development of flat panel display, plasma display panel (PDP) is now becoming a new kind of e-waste. In order to remove heavy metals, such as As, Ba, Cu, Zn, from waste PDP glass, electro-kinetic process was introduced and factors that affect heavy metal removing rate were investigated. Results showed that HNO3 concentration and PDP adding amount could significantly impact heavy metal removing rate, while current density was on the opposite. Heavy metal removing rate increased first and then decreased as the time extension. When PDP powders was 2 g, 9 mL 5 mol/L HNO3 was added, current density was 200 mA/cm2 and time was 6 h, the removal rate of As, Ba, Cu, Zn were 71.02%, 95.87%, 92.50% and 97.70%, respectively. As, Ba, Cu and Zn distributions in the cathode, anode and middle chamber varied as changing particle size, HNO3 concentration, current density. Generally, most Cu was concentrated in cathode chamber, and Zn in the anode chamber, while As and Ba would be in both cathode and anode chamber. As, Ba, Cu and Zn, in the middle chamber, no more than 10%, were the lowest among the three.
