January 20, 2020
LG Display is planning to start mass production for its 8.5-Gen OLED TV fab in Guangzhou from end of this month. After improving the manufacturing processes that had held LG Display back, LG Display is finally getting ready to produce OLED TV panels after five months removed from the completion. It is heard that the delay in operation of the fab has brought significant amount of burdens on LG Display’s performance. LG Display made ordered materials and components suppliers to prepare for supplies of their products.” said multiple representatives from the industry. LG Display’s fab in Guangzhou was completed in August of last year in order to produce 55-inch, 65-inch, and 77-inch OLED TV panels. LG Display has shown its will to lead the large OLED TV panel market by producing up to 90,000 panels by end of this year. However, normal operation was delayed due to an issue with productivity.
LG Display reportedly achieved significant improvements in production yield when it partially modified the device that is used at its fab in Paju and applied the modified approach to its fab in Guangzhou instead of using the approach initially used in Guangzhou. “After changing materials and the formation of an OLED panel device, LG Display was able to achieve a level that it was satisfied with.” said a representative from a materials manufacturer that is familiar with LG Display’s situation. As a result, LG Display is now able to make preparations to start producing OLED TV panels from its fab in Guangzhou.
President Jung Ho-young of LG Display at CES 2020 said that LG Display would focus on large OLED panels this year and would look to double the sales of large OLED TV panels compared to last year. He also stated that it would be possible for LG Display to start producing OLED TV panels from its Guangzhou fab sometime during the first quarter while emphasizing the importance of early normalization of the Guangzhou fab. “We are planning to finish necessary preparations by the end of the first quarter.” said a representative for LG Display. “Specific schedule on the operation has not been decided yet.” From: Staff Reporter Yun, Heeseok | pioneer@etnews.com & Staff Reporter Yun, Geonil | benyun@etnews.com
