Recent Trends in Electronics
Starting with the 2000s, the largest market for electronic components was televisions and radio transmission equipment for production, particularly satellite services, which became a multi-billion dollar segment of the industry. Telephone communications equipment makers followed after, and finally (and currently) computer manufacturers represented the next largest group within the electronic market. FED Corporation of Hopewell Junction, New York, pioneered technology of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) and continued to tweak it, making a specific type of electronics in New York City appealing to consumers. During the mid 2000s, the market for direct broadcast satellite (DBS) was growing immensely, despite the initial cost to providers in setting up new customers. Consumers in small and large cities jumped on board, especially during football and baseball season, resulting in sales of electronics in Boston, for example, soaring.
