THE INVESTOR] South Korean display maker
LG Display took the top spot in global shipments of liquid crystal displays for televisions in January this year, industry data showed on Feb. 24.
According to industry tracker WitsView LG Display‘s LCD TV panel shipments rose 5 percent on-month to 4.28 million sheets last month, although the global shipments of LCD TV panels fell 8 percent on-month to 19.88 million sheets. The decline in global shipments came after Chinese and Taiwanese display makers closed factories during the weeklong Lunar New Year holiday season.
Thanks to the rise in shipments, LG Display’s share of the global market for LCD TV panels gained 22 percent in January from 19 percent in December last year.
