Giantplus lands order from first-tier handset maker in Korea

Giantplus Technology, who recently purchased a third-generation (3G) production line from Chunghwa Picture Tubes (CPT), has landed a TFT LCD panel module order from a first-tier Korea-based handset maker and will start shipping at the beginning of 2008, according to market sources.

Giantplus has worked with many first-tier branded handset makers including Sony Ericsson and LG Electronics over MSTN and CSTN products. Since most first-tier makers prefer their suppliers to have panel production capabilities, the purchase of the 3G line has benefited the company in receiving the new orders.

Since the Korea-based client is one of the top-five worldwide branded handset makers, it is predicted it will deliver a big contribution to Giantplus' panel module shipments in the future.
