South Korea's LG Display Co Ltd on Tuesday posted a deeper second-quarter operating loss that missed analyst estimates, as a global supply glut ...
SEOUL: South Korea's LG Display Co Ltd said it is looking to diversify its supplier base as it prepares for expanded trading curbs from Japan on some display-making materials which threaten to impact the broader tech industry.
LG Display, a supplier to Apple Inc , is struggling with a global supply glut in liquid-crystal displays used in television sets, which has pushed down prices. Like many other global tech firms, it is also dealing with uncertainties caused by a long-running trade dispute between the United States and China.
Analysts said TV makers have stockpiled panels for fear of changes in import tariffs brought about by Sino-U.S. trade tension, creating rising inventories and growing supply glut in the display market."Set makers have been stocking up on panels in advance due to fears of a 25per cent tariff to be placed into effect in the third quarter, leading their panel inventories to pile up and resulting in conservative purchasing," said analyst Iris Hu at TrendForce.
