The world giant lg display panel (LGD) we have been very familiar with, its contribution to the LCD as sharp, contributions and breakthroughs were made in there for all to see. LGD has in recent years will be the symbol of the eye on the future of display technology, OLED, LGD to the development of OLED is also spare no effort. More recently from LGD will shut down one old LCD production line, some of them will be converted into OLED purposes, expansion of intelligent mobile phone panels, automotive displays, OLED lighting OLED and other medium and small size production ability

Previous Samsung Display (Display) has decided to shut down at the end of 2016 the same attributes of the old LCD production line. According to local media ET News reports, the rumors will LGD since the fourth quarter of 2016, the Korean turtle tail factory gradually stop generation (P2) and 3 (P3) LCD production line operation; And evaluate parts of six generations line (P6) into OLED production line, or use the factory idle space capacity increase the OLED panel. LGD from a year ago began to reduce the generation of line 2, 3 generation of line and line 5 generation capacity, more recently decided to stop at the end of 2016 ahead of P2 operation of production line. A portion of the original production of low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) LCD P6 line, has started to transform for the use of plastic OLED production.

LGD decided to shut down the old LCD production line is mainly based on the production efficiency. Most of this production line from 1990 s to early 2000 s every move, substrate, norms is lesser, equipment has been old, production tablet PC, laptop computers (NB), small and medium size products such as monitor, belong to the low price of the twisted nematic panel. The industry, said the LGD plans to close after the old LCD production line, transform it into small and medium size OLED production line. Currently planning in order to close the P2 and P3, fastest time about in the fourth quarter of 2016. P6 line will only keeps the AP2 LTPS LCD production line, the other will be converted to plastic OLED production line.

LGD relevant personage says, the company is evaluating indeed to retire the P2 and P3 production line, but not yet have a clear schedule. Tortoise tail factory old LCD production equipment, will gradually tide into production for intelligent mobile phone, car of small and medium size OLED devices. The original human to reconfigure the OLED production line, there will be no additional organization adjustment.
