S-LCD Corporation (Hangul: 에스 엘시디, Japanese: エス・エルシーディー) is a joint venture between the South Korean Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd (50% plus 1 share) and Japanese Sony Corporation (50% minus 1 share) established in April 2004 in Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea. S-LCD, as of April 25 2008, operated with a monthly production capacity of 100,000 7th Generation Amorphous Silicon panels and 50,000 8th Generation panels, which are integrated into both Samsung Electronics and Sony LCD televisions and memory cards.
History
- 2003: Samsung Electronics and Sony sign agreement for the establishment of a joint venture for 7th generation amorphous TFT LCD panel production.
- 2004: S-LCD Corporation established.
- April 2005: S-LCD begins shipment of 7th generation TFT LCD panels for LCD TVs.
- August 2007: S-LCD begins shipment of 8th generation TFT LCD panels for LCD TVs.
- 2008: Sony and Samsung announce that due to increased demand, a second 8th Generation production line will operate in the S-LCD factory in the 2nd quarter of 2009. S-LCD may be headed by Samsung alone as Sony has announced a joint venture with Sharp Corporation, in order to compete effectively with Samsung, a task made difficult by their current collaboration.
