Sharp will reduce production volume of small size IGZO screen

News from suverimax.com, Sharp will reduce the production volume of its small size screen by 40%. That is because its screen is in low demand from China smart phone suppliers. And the competition in Japan is also very high.



In 2014, the IGZO screen production volume was about 1200 pieces per day. Now, Sharp is scheduled to reduce the volume to 700 to 800 pieces. As of now, most of China suppliers have high stock volume, and in a short run, the demand will not be high. More important, the competition is very high.

Of course, if the IGZO screen production volume is reduced, then Sharp will use it to produce TV panel. But many people worry that it will lead to big loss in 2015.
