| PLANT (MFG) CONSTRUCTION |
Dainippon slates LCD filter plant Dainippon Printing will invest $270 million in the construction of a sixth-generation liquid-crystal display (LCD) glass filter plant. The facility, due to open next spring, will be located on disused space at a Mitsubishi Chemical site in Kurosaki, southern Japan. A sixth-generation LCD glass filter plant puts color filters on sheets of specialty glass measuring 71 by 59 inches. The glass can be cut to yield four 40-sq-inch LCD substrates or eight 30-sq-inch substrates. The LCD industry demands larger substrates as screen sizes keep increasing. Dainippon Printing already operates fourth- and fifth-generation glass filter plants in Japan and Taiwan |
