The latest LCD TV market share figures quoted by iSuppli for Q1 2006 show LG Philips leading the way with 22.3% share and 2,353,000 TVs shipped.

LG Philips is the joint venture between LG and Philips.

Note that these figures are always a bit “rubbery” and will vary from market researcher to another.

The top 6 manufacturerers were as follows.

#1 LG Philips 22.3% share and 2,353,000 TVs shipped

#2 Samsung 20% share and 2,115,000 TVs shipped

#3 CMO (Chi Moi) 18.7% share and 1,979,000 TVs shipped

#4 AU Optronics 16.8% share and 1,493,000 TVs shipped

#5 Sharp 13.9% share and 1,505,000 TVs shipped

#6 Quanta 3.7% share and 360,000 TVs shipped

Sharp was previously reported as the #1 manufacturer for the whole of 2005 so clearly the others have accelerated their shipments in the later part of 2005 and early 2006 to overtake Sharp.

Also, of the top 6, three are suppliers to other LCD TV vendors. Many of these vendors will be the “value brands” who brand engineer their LCD TVs and release them under their own brand name.
