LG to spend 1.3 billion dollars to expand plant
SEOUL (AFP) - – South Korea's LG Display said Friday it would spend 1.49 trillion won (1.32 billion dollars) to expand its eighth-generation LCD plant to meet rising demand.
The company, the world's second-largest maker of liquid-crystal display (LCD) panels, said in a statement the investment would also strengthen its competitiveness in large LCD TV panels.
The investment approved by the board will expand the existing eighth-generation LCD line at Paju north of Seoul to produce mostly 32-, 47- and 55-inch panels starting next year.
"The investment will resolve the LCD supply shortage," CEO Kwon Young-Soo was quoted as saying.
"In the mid-to-long term, it will help us meet the fast-growing demand in the LCD industry, where the demand for light-emitting diode and three-dimensional panels are driving the growth."
