China to accelerate LCD production

China will ramp up the production of LCD screens dramatically during the next few years, new research predicts. The country's LCD manufacturing capacity will grow 35% next year and 50% in 2008, according to a report from SEMI, a global semiconductor manufacturing industry association. China already has two fifth-generation LCD plants in operation, with one more about to start production and another on the drawing board.

China still lags far behind the cutting edge of display technology. LCD market leaders like Sharp, Sony and Samsung are currently manufacturing display panels in so-called seventh-generation plants, and are just beginning operations at eighth generation-facilities. Later generation plants are more suitable for large TV-sized displays, and can provide brighter, sharper images.
