In the current fiscal year, Sharp company plans to spend on production order of $ 340 million for investment in factory. Representative Sharp explains that the money will be spent wisely. First, the factory in Kameyama will be transferred to the release of LCD-panels IGZO small and medium diagonal. In fact, small-format panels has double issue, because company handles the eighth generation of the substrate with the parties 2160 x 2460 mm, while the number 1 Kameyama factory processes the substrate with the parties to the sixth generation 1500 x 1800 mm.
Note Kameyama factory from today serves only one company Apple. These production volume are not enough to release IGZO-panels for everyone. In particular, for many Chinese companies that want to get a new economic panel. Translation Kameyama lines number 2 on the issue of small-format panels allow transfer orders for release for LCD TVs and monitors at idle factory line of the 10th generation (Sakai Display Products). While Sharp emphasizes that China has almost no bargaining willing to pay for advanced small-format IGZO-panel, which is more than a positive impact on the company's financial stability.
Additionally, the company rearms production lines at the factory in Mie. This factory will produce LCD-panel freeform - Free-Form Display. It displays control matrix drivers which are placed on the entire surface of the display matrix, not normally focused on the perimeter frame, which enables to produce a matrix of any shape.
