Manufacturers LG have announced that due to a huge upsurge in customer demand, they are planning to extend their LCD output.
The Korean firm are experiencing a sharp growth in the amount of LCD TV sales, which they are attributing to the recent Chinese New Year and the popularity of the Winter Olympics, which are dominated by Chinese athletes.
LG has noted that it may well build a new production line to keep up with demand, with the only thing holding the company back is the worry that while demand is high at the moment, this may eventually drop due to the cyclical nature of the industry.
“We are considering increasing capacity because we have been unable to meet all client demand for some time,” said a spokesperson at LG Display to Reuters.
“But nothing has been decided yet.”
The manufacturer is currently only able to delivery around 90% of it’s orders – a problem they hope to address with their new production line.
The company recently announced a new range of 3D TVs at CES 2010, a new technology which will be present on both it’s LCD and Plasma series.
The company is hoping to sell 3.4 million sets, making it the biggest provider of 3D TVs in the market.
