Sharp Raising LCD Production.
Sharp Corp, has announced it will be increasing production at its LCD panel factories to meet increasing demand. The company plans to raise production from 4.32 million units to 4.8 million units a year. This is in anticipation of the companies’ expectation of an 80 percent year-on-year surge in global demand for LCD TVs. This move will give Sharp the ability to supply approximately 32 percent of the world's demand for LCD panels.
Sharp plans to boost production at its existing factories, such as the one at Kameyama, by increasing efficiency. However it also plans to build a lager factory near Kameyama, this new facility will be able to handle larger sized pieces of glass. This should also serve to enhance its LCD production efficiency.
