Samsung targets to sell at least 2 million LCD TVs with LED backlight in 2009 and at least 10 million units in 2010, according to a company executive.
"We are aiming to sell at least 22 million (conventional) LCD television sets and at least 2 million LED televisions in 2009," said Yoon Boo-keun, president of Samsung's visual display division at a press conference ahead of IFA 2009 in Germany.
Industry researchers have forecasted a 15 percent growth in the global LCD TV market, on which Samsung has based its initial targets. And now the company said it would strive to post higher growth, with the LED TV sales to grow at least five fold next year.
