AUO Executive Vice President Paul Peng pointed out that due to the slowdown in the mainland market, global LCD TV panel shipments are expected to drop to 205 million units, down 4.7% from the same period last year. Therefore, the company will reduce the capacity utilization rate from 82-83% of Q2 to 80%.
He also pointed out that the continued decline in LCD TV prices led to a reduction in panel prices, which made the related product price reduction space less. As a result, LCD TV sales may continue to decline, resulting in lower panel shipments.
Paul Peng also pointed out that the company's main development direction in the future is LED-backlit LCD panels and 3D LCD panels, which currently account for 40-45% and 10% respectively, and there is room for further improvement.
