But global LCD TV sales are expected to rebound in March-April 2014 due to the 2014 FIFA World Cup and peak demand in the China market during the early May holidays, according to Taiwan-based supply chain makers.

　　Samsung Display and LG Display will each ship 56 million LCD TV panels in 2014, while Taiwan-based Innolux and AU Optronics will ship 42 million units and 33 million units, respectively, the sources cited WitsView as indicating.
