In Brief: Samsung, Sony to expand TV panel output
Sony and Samsung have signed an agreement for an additional production line for TFT-LCD television panels in South Korea.
The operation slated for Korea will produce eighth-generation large-screen panels at a rate of 50,000 per month beginning in late 2007.
The FT-LCD (Thin Film Transistor-Liquid Crystal Display) panels will be used to boost production of 50-inch television sets, which are expected to experience a jump in sales in the near future, the companies said in a joint news release Friday.
The price tag for the project is pegged at nearly $2 billion, with Sony and Samsung splitting the cost evenly.
