LG.Philips LCD Totally Explained

Everything about Lg Philips Lcd totally explained

LG.Philips LCD (hangul:엘지.필립스 엘시디, LG.필립스 LCD) was formed as a joint venture by the Korean electronics company LG Electronics and the Dutch company Koninklijke Philips Electronics in 1999 to manufacture active matrix liquid crystal displays (LCDs). LG Philips is currently headquartered in Seoul, Korea. LG.Philips LCD and Samsung Electronics are in a heated competition to be the number one supplier of liquid crystal displays; they were each credited with a 22% share of this market as of April 2006.
   The company has seven manufacturing plants in Gumi and Paju, South Korea. It also has a module assembly plant in Nanjing, China, and plans to build two more plants in Guangzhou, China and Wroclaw, Poland. Reuters reported on August 18, 2006 that LG.Philips LCD had decided against building a new 8th Generation plant and to build a 5.5 Generation plant instead. This, according to LG.Philips LCD vice president Bock Kwon, is to focus on more lucrative LCD monitor panels for desktop and notebook computers.
   LG.Philips LCD became an independent company in July 2004 when it was concurrently listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: LPL) and the South Korean Stock Exchange (KRX: 034220). Currently LG owns 37.9% of the company and Philips owns 32.9%. On August 17, 2006 the Wall Street Journal reported that in an e-mail to customers Merrill Lynch said that Philips was seeking buyers, including Japan's Matsushita, for its stake in LG.Philips LCD.
   Philips is Europe's largest manufacturer of LCD TVs and LG is Korea's second largest manufacturer. In March of 2006, LG-Philips produced what was for a time the world's largest LCD panel, with a diagonal size of 100 inches (2.54 meters). The company hasn't yet released plans to use 100-inch panels in commercial products.
   LG-Philips currently produces the Apple Cinema LCD Panel as well as the Dell Ultrasharp 2005FPW and 30 inch LCD panel .
   Recently, LG.Philips has developed a paper-like flexible A4-sized LCD display.
