Korea's LG Display is expected to add a new 8G LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panel line in the second half of the year. LG Display began operations at its firs 8G line in Paju, Korea in March 2009, and the line has already reached full capacity, with a monthly output of 83,000 glass substrates.

It is projected that LG Display's planned 8G line will have a production capacity of 100,000 units per month and the overall investment is estimated at more than two trillion Won (US$1.6 billion; US$1=1270.8 Won). Although no final decision has been reached yet, the board of LG Display is expected to review the plan for the new 8G line later in July.
