New TFT-LCDs Announced by LG.Philips LCD
LG.Philips LCD announced that its new sixth-generation TFT-LCD fabrication plant, "P6", began mass production last month.
Located in Gumi, South Korea, "P6" will produce TFT-LCDs for large and wide LCD TVs and desktop monitors, with a strong focus on 32- , 37-, and 42-inch wide screens for TV applications as well as large and wide PC monitors, such as 17-inch. Currently in the first phase of ramp-up, "P6" will reach its full-production capacity of 90,000 sheets per month, which represents approximately 250,000 square meters of input glass, by the third quarter of 2005. The "P6" is the first factory in the world to use 1500 x 1850 mm glass substrates, which will increase factory productivity and panel throughput of large and wide TFT-LCD production.
According to LG.Philips LCD, the new "P6" plant is equipped with the latest cutting-edge LCD manufacturing equipment. Amongst many of its world firsts, the fab is the first sixth-generation factory to apply new technologies including one-drop fill (ODF) technology without pre-cutting the substrate glass.
