[The Chosun Ilbo, November 1 2007] Samsung Electronics Builds LCD from Ordinary Glass Plate

Samsung Electronics said Wednesday that it has developed a technology that allows liquid crystal display panels to be made from ordinary glass plates. The development is expected to reduce production costs and thus increase price competitiveness.

Korea's largest electronics maker said the new LCD panels are as good as existing panels in resolution, brightness, color, and other features. The new Soda-Lime LCD is made of ordinary window glass plates instead of the special glass plates normally used.
