According to the plan, the company will increase the output of OLED screens from 9.6-10 million units per month to 13-14 million products per month. It expects to pocket more 6.5 billion USD in export turnover, contribute additional 25 million USD to the budget and generate 10,000 more jobs.
The company’s Director General SuK Myung Su pledged to make efforts to soon put the project into full operation.
