Meizu's launching a smartphone model equipped with a 5.5-inch Full HD display at CNY999 (US$160) is likely to prompt other China-based vendors to launch inexpensive Full HD models, pushing up demand for such panels in 2015, according to Taiwan-based smartphone supply chain makers.
In view of the potential demand from China-based smartphone vendors, Japan Display and LG Display have increased production capacities for Full HD LTPS (low-temperature poly-silicon) TFT-LCD panels and China-based BOE Technology and Tianma Micro-electronics have made efforts to hike yield rates for Full HD LTPS TFT-LCD panel production, the sources said.
