Already seeing a sharp growth in July sales, LCD module (LCM) maker Star World said it will continue expanding its capacity to fulfill demand.
Star World expects to house a total of 20 production lines in 2007 from its Kaohsiung, Taiwan and Zhuhai, China plants, up from the originally planned 18. The company stressed that its capacity is still running short of demand currently, thus further expansion is required.
Commenting on the expectation of landing orders from HannStar Display after seeing HannStar sell its third-generation (3G) TFT LCD plant to Wintek, Star World said present orders are not being affected.
Although Wintek had previously indicated that it has no plans to take over HannStar's unfilled orders, Star World said the expected reduction of HannStar orders after the hand over (December 1, 2007) will be compensated by other customers.
Star World added in saying that it is confident in its ability to land orders, citing satisfactory yields and technological strengths.
