S-LCD to increase 7G TFT LCD panel production

S-LCD Corp. disclosed its decision to add an investment of about Rs.1,067.91 crore to its existing 7th generation production facility expansion. The investment will be funded by the company itself.

S-LCD currently operates with a monthly production capacity of 60,000 panels which are integrated into both Samsung and Sony LCD TVs. The production capacity is already expected to expand to 75,000 panels per month by July 2006. The Rs.1,067.91-crore investment will further increase the capacity by 15,000 panels a month, resulting in a 90,000-panel monthly capacity by beginning of 2007.

S-LCD will continue to be a stable amorphous silicon TFT LCD panel production supplier for both Samsung and Sony.
