LGD confirms that its P10 plant in Paju will be exclusively used to make OLED displays

Towards the end of 2015 LG Display announced that it plans to build a new OLED fab (P10) in Paju in a $8.7 billion investment to produce both mid-sized flexible OLED and large-sized OLED TV panels. In May 2017 it was reported that LG decided to produce LCD panels rather than OLED panels in its upcoming fab.

According to Business Korea, LGD has confirmed that the P10 plant will indeed be used to produce only OLED displays - and will vote on this decision next week. The P10 fab will be used to make OLED TV panels in addition to small and medium sized flexible OLEDs. LGD has yet to decide exactly how to split the production capacity between large-area and small-area displays.

 

Production in the P10 fab is expected to begin in the first half of 2018. LGD will reportedly begin its OLED TV production with a 8.5-Gen fab, but will later upgrade it to a 10-Gen fab.
