Sony Corp. may boost investment in its liquid-crystal display joint venture with Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., the company said.
The joint LCD plant, S-LCD Corp., is expected to begin production next autumn with a capacity of 50,000 panels a month. The production line uses "eighth-generation" motherglass sheets, which measure approximately 2.2 by 2.5 metres.
Larger motherglass yields more panels, boosting productivity. Eighth-generation glass produces either six 50-inch television panels or eight 46-inch television panels.
S-LCD has helped Samsung leverage Sony's brand recognition to expand the market for larger television panels, while providing Sony with a stable panel supply.
