Equipment installation at the new 7th-generation (Gen 7) fabrication plant began in early August and pilot testing of the equipment and assembly processes took just under three months.
Samsung’s second Gen 7 line will replicate the equipment and processes now being used at the S-LCD Line 7-1, a joint venture between Samsung and Sony.
By committing to the 1870x2200 mm substrate size at both Line 7-1 and 7-2, Samsung has moved aggressively to standardize TV panel sizes at 40-inch and 46-inch within the industry. From a single substrate, eight 40-inch panels or six 46-inch panels can be produced with extremely high glass efficiency.
The new Gen 7 fab, which will produce 90,000 1870x2200 mm substrates per month when fully operational, is being built with an investment of KRW 4.1317. It is a state-of-the art facility that utilizes Samsung’s advanced, four mask (silicon-etching), array process.
First-phase production of Line 7-2 will begin in April 2006. Second-phase production commences in the second-half of 2006.
The Line 7-1 produces 60 thousand substrates per month. With the additional 90,000 substrates from Line 7-2, Samsung will produce the industry’s highest volume capacity of large-size LCD TV panels at 150,000 substrates per month, or the equivalent of 1.2 million 40-inch panels monthly.
Samsung Electronics, which recorded double-digit operating profit margins (11%) in 3Q 2005, has been the number one producer of TFT-LCDs since 2002, on a revenue basis.
