--FILE--Visitors look at OLED 4K televisions of LG on display during the Appliance & Electronics World Expo 2016 (AWE 2016) in Shanghai, China, 9 March 2016. South Korea's trade ministry said on Tuesday (26 December 2017) that a committee had approved LG Display Co's plan to build a new organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panel production facility in China. The approval comes five months after LG Display announced it would invest in large-size OLED production in Guangzhou, capital of South China's Guangdong Province, to respond to fast-growing demand for the screens in TVs in overseas markets. The ministry said in a statement that the approval was conditional on LG Display boosting the use of local materials and equipment, subsequent investment in South Korea and strengthening processes such as security checks. An LG Display spokesperson did not have an immediate comment. The approval could lead LG Display Co, one of the world's biggest manufacturers of display panels used in smartphones and televisions, to boost its global market dominance for large OLED panels, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.
